Lemming, if someone got banned now due to hacking, will this affect game price?
for example, i got banned due to hacking, am i forced to rebuy the game to be unbanned?

No you will not have to rebuy the game since you allready own it and getting banned is a thing that happens ingame

I'm sorry, but I think this could've been done better.

20 dollars for Gorilla Tag is just...not a good price. Here's why. Who is 90 percent of the fan base? Kids! What do kids not have a lot of? Money! By making this game 20 bucks, you are likely to kill off a lot of potential new players. I get the hacking problem, but here's the thing. It takes zero effort to leave a lobby with a hacker. One button press, and that's it. Now sure, you might say "Well there's so many hackers, you would have to keep leaving lobbies." I understand, but there's just not enough hackers for this amount of force. now 5 dollars? MAYBE 10? Sure, I feel like that would do a decent job, but keep in mind you'll still be losing some players. I think it comes down to just how many new players are you willing to keep away to deter hackers. In this case, you've went to far on one side. You need to reevaluate the game and the amount of content in it before you go forward with something like this. This could be done well, but it definitely was not here.

i fully agree like me personally wouldnt spend 20 dollars on a game like this cause of the toxic community

here's a prime example of why this change was unfortunately necessary. people like him in the past would just spam alts and continue to hack and ruin the game for people. this way, everyone who already owns the game continues to own it and will not have to rebuy it, and people who get banned for hacking will have to pay $20 every time they get banned if they want to keep cheating and trying to ruin the game for people

This will not help judging by that you can share the library from your main account to alts which means they can still do it but there is a limit and when you have done that limit you have to wait 90 days to share the library again with other accounts

it's actually already helped a lot (and no, family sharing doesn't work). in the past 24 hours, about 600 accounts were banned by the anti-cheat. in the same period a week ago, 1375 accounts were banned. so there's already been a massive reduction in cheating (over 50% reduction), and i expect this will continue to trend down as people use up their hacking accounts and can't make new ones

this is how this game dies damn

i would rather give my 20 dollars to edp then buy this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

20 dollars is way too much money! are you guys out of your minds?????

$20 is a standard price though... Plenty of other indie games price their games at 20

nope since that would be even more stupid than making the game payed

I'm excited to see the new patch, I hope there will be plenty of new content to make the $20.00 price increase worth it.

Its worth 20 since you get 20 bucks of shiny rocks.

Implement a basic anti-cheat for now on PC. unlike other players i do understand the paywall. it sucks that you have to do this but the same people that are mad are also the people who are modding the game. sorry for all the hate lemming.

there already is an anticheat, and it bans a loooot of people. the fundamental issue is that even with an anticheat, it's still a game of cat and mouse. on a new account, it still takes a little bit to be detected (because we don't want any false positives), and since it doesn't rely on the in game reports, it's easier for hackers to tell exactly what trips it. then they make new hacks that are harder to detect, and the cycle continues. we can either try to spend a lot of our time working on squashing every new hack that pops up, or we can work on trying to improve the game. if they need to pay for a new account every time, and they can't just make new fake accounts in seconds, it really slows down the pace of people trying to ruin the game for other people

as an example for me, i'm keeping an eye on our anti-cheat systems right now, but i'm also trying to work on a new feature for the patch after the next one (it's something that i've been wanting to do for a while, but couldn't figure out a way to do it until recently). if i could ignore the banning systems entirely, i would be able to work on this new feature a lot faster, and since i'm spending time working on the hacking stuff, it means maybe i won't be able to flesh this feature out or do as much with it as i want. this sucks. i just want to be able to focus on building cool things for people to play with.

Have you looked into Bugcrowd? Rec Room uses it to get rid of hacks/exploits and rewards the player when they report such thing.

Wow

20 dollars for a game that looks like a game from 1990 lmaoo this will change nothing about the hackers

If hackers get banned in a lobby they would have to get a alt and buy the game again. And again
and again. You seein the picture here? it reduces hackers after ban.

say byebye to all of your kids, you wont have anything left, you have made a huge HUGE mistake. You couldve instead ban their devices, ip and mac address. 20 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dollars is way too much for this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ roblox looking game

People who already own the game wont need to buy it again. So nothing is lost through this.
