Since release The Finals fans of the shooter began to complain about the dominance of cheaters from Asia – in particular, China – and began to demand that developers from Embark Studios implement regional blocking.
On the official Discord server The Finals community manager Paul Nick Momo said that Embark Studios will not take such measures. He added that this is the company’s decision, and players should moderate their ardor, since the demand smacks of racism and xenophobia.
We don’t want to block regions. This is not my personal opinion, this is the company’s decision. Sorry if you don’t want to be called a racist, but aren’t you? Or, wait, maybe we are talking about xenophobia?
There are cheaters in all regions, and we see that most of them use Chinese nicknames to make it harder to report them.
At a certain stage, even players from Russia arrived. Reddit users suggested locking Russian and Chinese gamers in a separate “pen.” True, the reasons were not cheats, but shouting in voice chat, AFK and griefing.
Separately developers The Finals wrote that they are strengthening measures to combat cheaters, so in the future players should encounter them less often in matches. The shareware shooter uses the Easy Anti Cheat solution.
