KingGeorge and other protestors may not be able to change BattlEye or introduce a new anti-cheat to Rainbow Six Siege, the boycotters are shedding some light on the problematic issues that BattlEye presents to players who aren't cheating.
Hundreds of players have joined KingGeorge in his Rainbow Six Siege boycott in order to protest BattlEye which will cut into Ubisoft profits if it continues for long enough. While BattlEye does a great job in punishing Rainbow Six Siege cheaters by reversing their ELO, it also damages legitimate players who happen to be inside of the same lobby as the cheater. Ubisoft has tried transparency with its anti-cheat with publicly naming players who get caught for cheating, but Rainbow Six Siege players are demanding a better system. This unreasonable punishment for those who aren't cheating is the catalyst for fans of the tactical FPS to boycott the game.īattlEye has been adjusting the ELO of players since Rainbow Six Siege launched, but the anti-cheat dates back to 2004 and it looks like the severe flaws are noticed more today than when it launched. Many Rainbow Six Siege players have overcome the odds to defeat cheaters and these players get their ELO reversed once Ubisoft discovers the cheaters' presence.
BattlEye reverses the ELO of a match for all players in that match if a Rainbow Six Siege cheater is discovered among them, whether the cheater is winning or losing. Ubisoft uses BattlEye as its anti-cheat for Rainbow Six Siege, but it has some major flaws despite being considered the gold standard of tactical FPS anti-cheat.
