Rage Cheater - PUBG PC

[@doppioleone]

There are soooo many of them now, the game is not playable anymore...

[@shady_knights]

I call the game Cheat Shoot now. The meta is to find and shoot cheats rather than try and win the chicken dinner. I say "they don't call it cheat shoot for nothing" if our team gets wiped by cheaters, and we shrug our shoulders and smile...cause it's true.

[@doppioleone]

​@@shady_knights Exactly 😅

[@reactor4]

I would be careful. I was posting cheater videos and Krafton stuck my channel. I got it back but it was huge pain.

[@shady_knights]

Yeah I am aware of this, and think I know the cause. It's Tencent that did the strikes. KZbin was auto-tagging vids from PUBG PC as PUBG Mobile. I see a few of your vids on your channel are still like this. PUBG mobile had active cheat sellers making heaps of videos on KZbin and aggressively struck channels with PUBG Mobile tagged, alongside key words such as "hacks", "cheating", "cheat" etc. Any content like ours would get caught in the crossfire. I have never had an issue with my content though, I've carefully made sure that every video I uploaded is correctly tagged to PUBG PC.

@@shady_knights what do you mean by struck the channel ? are we breaking any upload rules ? if yes, what is it ?

[@shady_knights]

@@PizzaInGame It's about the copyright owner and the ability of the owner of copyright to initiate a copyright strike on a KZbin channel for breach of copyright. Tencent use it to remove channels promoting cheat selling on PUBG Mobile. Using PUBG Mobile footage for a commercial reason that undermines the game and damages the copyright owners brand. If a user gets three copyright strikes in 90 days, their account and associated channel will be terminated by KZbin. Tencent used this to attack the cheat sellers channels and get them banned off KZbin. If they had multiple videos )(more than three) showing PUBG Mobile cheats, they'd lose their channel. All of this makes complete sense.....until other channels that get caught up in the cross fire of all of this. PUBG PC channels for instance, that aren't advertising cheating, but are covering the topic of cheating got purged from KZbin. These aren't genuine copyright issues, these channel owners aren't selling other products and services off this, and have typically recorded the footage under "fair use" provision of copyright, which allows things like gameplay recording for videos about the game made by players. Additionally, Krafton is the copyright owner of these anyway, and Tencent is not. It is a massive overreach to false strike these channels. Yes, they are tagged as "PUBG mobile" but they don't have any PUBG Mobile IP in them so therefore it's a false flag. Besides, it's KZbin automatically tagging them as PUBG Mobile and not the end users. There's likely a bunch of channels that highlight and talk about the issues of cheating on PUBG Mobile that also got terminated unfairly due to this heavy handed approach that banned legit channels. End users aren't doing anything wrong. This happens all the time with copyright strikes, they can and do terminate channels unfairly. When they do, providing you are persistent enough, you can fight for your channel back and get it reversed but the process that KZbin has makes it much harder than what it needs to be to achieve this. In my opinion, what happened with many users from an incorrectly flagged copyright strike ban wave initiated by Tencent was clearly very wrong and damaging. Only something like a class action lawsuit will change anything. As most of these were small channels (probably targeted on purpose), then they'll likely get away with it and learn nothing from the experience.

Lol that is a blatant walling which noticable from first secconds of the demo. People who do 20 bombs play nowhere near like that.

[@Mortuum88]

Saw a cheater yesterday that used a cheat to bring back his two dead teammates, cheater was inside a building and just started to do the animation when you use the revive station and boom, teammates coming back, and ofcourse the whole squad was blatantly using walls and aimbot but that revive cheat was a new one 🤣

[@shady_knights]

Interesting. Were they dead or just knocked? If they were knocked then there's a EMT pack that can be equipped in a weapon slot, if used it takes just 3 seconds to get up a knocked opponent.

[@Mortuum88]

@@shady_knights They were dead, the cheater took their chips, went back inside, stood still for a moment and started to do the animation when using a revive station.

[@EmporerPenguinX]

@@Mortuum88 There is a blue chip transmitter, you can use that instead of blue chip station. Maybe he used that.

[@Mortuum88]

@@EmporerPenguinX No, transmitter has different animation and sound, the cheater didnt use that

[@shady_knights]

Support Ticket #17298921 submitted for manual report to PUBG support. We'll see how this goes....

[@srtngz]

What is the account name of this cheater?

[@shady_knights]

@@srtngz Check my channel. I will have two versions of the same video, one with names off, one with names on. Names off complies with Steam community guidelines so it is safe to link to Steam discussions without violating their "name and shame" policy.

[@J4M3Z.T]

I posted the worst cheating video ever, guy was floating and shooting through walls and my video got removed and i got a strike.

[@shady_knights]

@@J4M3Z.T Was it from Tencent or Krafton? KZbin auto tags PUBG clips as PUBG Mobile if you don't manually tag the vids. Tencent aggressively (stupidly) strike vids with "cheating" in the title.

[@J4M3Z.T]

@shady_knights it was tencent who requested removal. I didn't take it as mobile, I think it was so bad they just got pissed off and tried pushing it under the rug.

[@shady_knights]

@@J4M3Z.T Then it was because the offending video was tagged by KZbin as being PUBG Mobile, when it wasn't. Tencent still shouldn't randomly strike on videos recorded under fair use. Their goal was to strike the thousands and thousands of vids promoting cheats on PUBG Mobile. It was wrong of them to ban vids like yours, double wrong that they banned it when it wasn't even their IP being recorded, and KZbin is the main culprit as it assigned PUBG Mobile incorrectly to your upload. The mass banning of PUBG PC channels was a disgrace though. I've never had a strike, but if I did get it I'd push back on it and keep appealing. I make sure that all are tagged with PUBG PC when uploaded. The process is against creators though.
