EvenBalance juge que Punkbuster est suffisamment fiable répandu pour mettre en marche la deuxième partie de leur Grand Plan : banir les tricheurs massivement sur tous les serveurs en se basant sur leurs GUIDs :
Using the new PB Guid Auth servers, PB Servers will now be able to determine valid GUIDs from hacked or faked GUIDs and will be able to remove players who are not using a valid GUID/cdkey from games on PB Servers. We also will soon be implementing our new policy of globally banning GUIDs that are associated with PB Violations that involve known PB Hacks. Some cheats/hacks interfere with PB’s ability to detect hacks/cheats, to take screenshots, to report cvar values, etc. Using such a hack is in direct violation of our End User License Agreement and terminates the license to use PunkBuster software. Starting today, any punks caught by PunkBuster using such a hack will be subject to global banning from all PB Servers without recourse.
Voila qui promet une bonne dose de news burlesques dans les semaines à venir.
