I was instantly permabanned for adding RAM to my computer while having the game installed. First game I've ever been banned before. And instantly permanent? I would think there would be a warning at least! I wonder how many else are falsely banned.. Because @kadu@lemmy.world have a point, it used to be those who cheated who complained, and this makes it difficult for a faulty cheat detection to be picked up by the devs. More so when they think "they have fixed it" after the first time a wave got falsely banned.
I spent a day really angry about it, ranting on reddit. Was pretty shocked from it. Then I calmed down and figured I didnt enjoy that game enough to take it further.
That sucks man sorry to hear that. I spent a little bit longer than you ranting and raving lol. It wasn't so much that I was upset about not being able to play, because honestly I didn't like the game very much, but more that this massive corporation just stole $100 from me and there was literally no recourse. Never buying a single thing from Activision and their parent company again.
