China has never been characterized as a country that bothers to collaborate with foreign authorities or companies, since always try to sweep home, defending tooth and nail its national product, even if it violates international laws. But when the affected person is a national product and is in their borders, they lack time to nip the problem in the bud.
For just over a month PUBG, the game created in collaboration with Tencent, a Chinese giant that is found in all sectors of the Internet, has become a success since its launch for mobile devices. This game is also available for computers and the Xbox, and allows crossplay, that is, that players from different platforms can play with each other.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a shooter based on the Battle Royale mode in which started from scratch, without weapons, and in which the players have to fight each other through the weapons that are available in the houses that we find during the game and where only one can be left. The fight against piracy in this particular game has just taken a very important turn for PUBG, since a group of hackers who were dedicated to selling cheats have been arrested in order to have an important advantage with other players through a small application.
The arrested hackers have been fined more than $ 4,5 million, and according to the BBC, it appears that they will not be the only ones who go behind bars regardless of the large fine they receive. This small application, not only offered an important advantage to the users who used it, but also took care of extract personal information from the user's computer. Tencent does not want these types of tricks to be used, since the use of this game could decline among users, checking over and over again that there is no way to compete from you to you with other users.
