Over 50,000 accounts banned combined.
— Raven Software (@RavenSoftware) July 16, 2021.
In a tweet posted on July 16, Raven Software explained that most of the 50k players who got banned were repeat offenders.
Raven said these ban waves were mainly focused on repeat offenders.
The studio ominously said it also targeted “much more†than repeat offenders, whatever that means!
This is far from the first time Raven has banned thousands of players in a short amount of time.
Back in February, Raven banned over 60,000 accounts in Warzone in one day.
In May, Raven and Call of Duty publisher Activision reported that over 350k players had been banned in Warzone for racism and toxicity in just the past year.
According to Raven, the studio has banned over 500k players in total.
The number of banned players has surely grown since then.
Since then, Activision and Raven Software have continued to fight cheaters and hackers who keep causing problems for players across all platforms.
All of this is to say that while it’s nice to see Raven fighting the good fight and banning 50,000 more hackers, it’s likely just the tip of a large, ever-growing iceberg
