Or a use after free bug from an unlucky player. With millions (billions?) of account-hours over the honeypot period surely at least a few bans are outrageous coincidences


Outrageous coincidences are an unfortunate side effect of any method of moderation I can think of.


I imagine they'd probably agree with that assessment; they didn't say they were 100% positive that every single ban was deserved, just that this gave them a very high degree of confidence. I think this method is probably more accurate than most other anti cheat methods for online games out there, and it definitely is less invasive than most of the ones I've heard of. I have trouble thinking that this is a worse way of doing things than not addressing cheating at all or relying on much more invasive methods.
