It is the most wonderful time of the year unless you are one of the 1729 players who deserve a lump of coal after being caught cheating on the new Delta Force free-to-play game.
In the spirit of transparency, Team Jade has put out regular updates about the anti-cheat situation, with some pretty eye-watering numbers.
According to the latest report, covering the period between December 20 and December 26, the Delta Force security team handed out 1729 bans.
Of course, players are given a chance to atone for their sins: the bans in Delta Force are temporary, so after exactly 10 years of rethinking their life choices, reformed cheaters are welcome to come back if they'd like.
The bans covered 415 instances of direct memory access (DMA) cheats, and resulted in 1323 computers being blocked from connecting to the game in the future.
On top of the account and hardware bans, the Delta Force security team stopped 6331 cheating attempts in real time and disconnected 15608 for suspected cheating. It is unclear what Team Jade's criteria are for issuing a ban versus terminating the player's session.
