Anti-cheat systems detect cheaters but can't stop them from returning. Every banned cheater creates a new account and rejoins within minutes, making bans meaningless. This is why after 25+ years of anti-cheat development, we're still fighting the same types of cheats. Without real consequences tied to real identities, there's no deterrent effect.

PlaySafe ID solves this by ensuring cheaters face meaningful penalties across all PlaySafe Protected Matchmaking. No throwaway accounts, no fresh starts. The best solution combines anti-cheat detection with PlaySafe ID's accountability system.
