The video discusses the issue of hacking and cheating in the game Elite Dangerous and why the game’s developer, Frontier, seems to do little to address the problem. The first situation discussed is when players report another player for cheating and never receive feedback on whether any action was taken. The video suggests that the lack of feedback is likely due to personal data protection laws, and Frontier’s focus on handling the issue between themselves and the reported player. The video encourages players to continue reporting cheaters and provide as much evidence as possible for a higher chance of action being taken.
The second situation discussed is why Frontier does not publicly announce actions taken against cheaters. The video speculates that Frontier keeps their methods to prevent hacking secret to make them more effective. Additionally, publicly disclosing the number of players banned could have negative repercussions, as it may indicate a larger problem and attract more attention from the gaming community and media. However, the video suggests that it would be beneficial for Frontier to address the issue in order to quell growing concerns and prevent the situation from escalating further.
Ultimately, the video concludes that even though Frontier may not provide clear information on their actions against hackers, it does not mean that no action is being taken. The reasons for their silence could range from personal data protection laws to keeping their methods secret for effectiveness. The video emphasizes the importance of continuing to report cheaters and hopes that Frontier will eventually address the issue to alleviate concerns within the gaming community. The video ends with a call to subscribe and like the video, and a farewell until the next video in space.
