Please tell me, how do you know the game didn't fail to ban more cheaters?
You don't know it and you don't ask/look for it, that's the problem.
Apex has banned only 6 million accounts since early 2019 but the game has the same confirmed problem. Even the one known area got nammed by Respawn.

"We’ve grown our anti-cheat team in targeted regions, like Asia-Pacific, that have been particularly hard-hit by global cheating activity."
Keep in mind, it's the first letter of Apex since then because they never talk about it.
The franchis of COD exist even longer but the first better system got added when?
2022, almost 20 years after the first release.
Watch the video on my profil, commend section, there you can see, cheats are able to bypass the AC. How do they do this?
They just block the communication between the AC client and the servers, no live tracking of data. How does PUBG, Fortnite or any better system work if something like this happens?
They kick the player from the service. No live tracking, no play. Maybe the fixed it already but the fact it was there for a long time tells a lot about the quality of their AC system. Your conclusion only makes sense if all AC system work exactly the same but that isn't the case because most old franchise failed to fight cheating properly.
What? I've read this 5 times and I still don't know how to answer it or why I should I answer it. How do I know that the game didn't fail to ban more cheaters?
What exactly do you have a problem with on my post?
1. PUBG has banned over 40 million accounts for cheating since it launched. This is true, and it is the minimum amount of known cheaters in the game because it's PUBG and it's partner companies (eg. Battleye) that have told us bans year on year and we can add them up.
2. PUBG banned over 130k last week - This is also true. PUBG's weekly ban report shows this.
3. PUBG's cheating issue dwarfs COD's, and is possibly the game with the worst cheating issue ever on PC. - Unless you can provide something compelling my opinion on this stays as I am basing this point point 1, and until another game even gets close to this level of confirmed cheaters then it must be very possible to be true.
The rest of your post sounds super defensive and goes off on a tangent about Apex for some reason. What of Apex? It's infested with cheating too....so what?
I asked you, how do you know the anti-cheat of CoD didn't fail to ban more cheaters?
PUBG bans more accounts, your conclusion, cheating increased but this is just one possible reason why it increased.
You use data how you need it without to see other possible points.
When a cheater is banned, on both games, their account is banned.
You are asking how I know that COD didn't ban more cheaters than PUBG, then go on to say that PUBG bans more accounts than COD.....
You already know the answer. The level of infestation is measured by the amount of accounts that have been banned. My claim is that the bans that COD have made on cheaters are nowhere near 40+ million, you seem to agree with this.
I referenced their recent ban efforts published publicly and contrasted that against PUBG's latest weekly ban report which is routine and not exceptional like it is for COD.
The difference is stark and obvious.
The only counterpoint to this is that PUBG are doing such an exceptional job against cheating v's other games and the 40+ million account bans is proof positive at how they are combating cheating. Unfortunately this point ignores the weekly ban reports that continually undermine any argument that PUBG is a much cleaner game than others, and also assumes that PUBG ban all the cheaters all the time. All data in my experience points to only a very small minority of the cheaters being picked up each week and added to the ban report.
So what is your issue here? You don't like the reality that I am presenting? Does it go against the false narrative that PUBG are leading the fight on cheats and are doing a great job? Sorry if facts hurt your feelings.
If Call of Shame is anything to go by, COD devs have just decided to turn the other cheak and look the other way on their top streamers and just allow them to blatantly cheat. The evidence he provides is damning.
PUBG isn't an outlier in terms of other BR games, they don't have way more cheaters because way more % of the playerbase cheats. They have way more cheaters because they have way more playerbase than the other BR games.
This is not the answer because I asked, how do you know the system of COD didn't fail to ban more?
Your comparison only makes sense if you know the anti-cheat of COD is as good as the system of PUBG but I showed you already, this is not the case. If PUBG has lower numbers you also don't say cheating has decreased, you say, the system failed but for some reason you never use it elsewhere.
I don't know why you don't see these obvious mistakes and there is no plausible reason why other games shouldn't be affected by the same problem.
Even more if you think that bad anti-cheats increase cheating.
It's hard for you to playdown and deflect when PUBG themselves have found and banned 40+ million cheater accounts since their launch.
Harbouring that amount of cheaters is just bad no matter how you try and spin it.
PUBG IS the most cheated game on Steam. Make up all the excuses you like, still doesn't change this fact.
Why don't you answer the question please?
That's the third/fourth distraction to avoid my question and you think I don't have credibility.
It's like, you claim again it's a fact but once I try to show it isn't, you point on what you think my agenda is. You can't prove your words by discrediting my person.
I don't think you don't know what you do because it's too obvious.
I read it again and no, you didn't say anything how do you know COD didn't fail to ban more cheaters.
I don't expect a yes or no, as someone else said to me some days ago, but if you don't say anything about my point I asked, yes it is a problem and I ask again.

Here you can see some data and how VAC only banned 100k accounts a month and keep in mind, it's the same system for many games not just Counter Strike. December 2018, VAC managed to ban up 1,5-2 million accounts in just two months because the system finally got improved to ban more cheaters than before. The old system failed so badly, it's incredible.

Better systems catch more cheaters and even COD banned as many accounts as PUBG does and they just started. They also will catch more and more but since they started to fight cheating as one of the last of all old franchises, they stay behind enourmisly.
PUBG is one of the most cheated game and this is the only fact so far and I don't know how you can think PUBG is special because in that area, cheating is a massive issue in all games except maybe one, Valorant. Even this could be wrong but at least, the system of Valorant could be strong enough to minimize it effectively.
I did google region lock XXX and yes, a lot of games, the final, counter strike, Tarkov, even games like Hell let loose, ask the same question....
