Pokemon GO directly punishes a series of hackers, but it turns out that they are all unjustly banned

To prevent the hacker/cheater sabotage the experience of the game, publishers Pokemon GO tightened its sanctions, from a 7 day warning to a 30 day account lockout and now you acc forever. Recently, countless gamers have been banned by Pokemon GO because of suspicion of cheating but it seems that it is all just a mistake.​

​

The game’s automatic anti-cheat system had a few glitches, causing a series of players to be unjustly banned. On the Pokemon GO subreddit r/TheSilphRoad, there are also numerous complaints from players affected by this issue. Daniel “Spieletrend” Schilling, a famous German YouTuber who worked with Niantic in many big events of Pokemon GO also unfortunately became a victim and until now is still being banned acc. Some users believe that the cause of Pokemon GO’s anti-cheat system confusion may be due to the iOS version that the player is using.

Niantic side also confirmed there was negligence in identifying the cheaters, and promised that it would automatically return the accounts to players who received the wrong penalty. However, many players had to miss the last Pokemon GO Fest of this year because of the ridiculous ban and Niantic didn’t seem to want to compensate them.​

Since the launch of Pokemon GO, Niantic has always focused on preventing hackers/cheaters. Earlier this year, the company also revealed that since 2020 it has banned more than 5 million hackers. Niantic’s efforts are commendable, but the publisher should review the anti-hacking mechanism so that annoying things like this don’t happen.
