The rise of online competitive gaming has led to an increase in professional cheating, fostering an entire industry focused on developing and selling cheats. Game developers have responded by strengthening their anti-cheat teams, utilizing advanced kernel-level anti-cheat systems like Vanguard from Riot Games. Vanguard increases game integrity by "forcing cheats to be visible," allowing Riot's team to ban thousands of cheaters daily. As a result, Riot reports that cheaters in competitive games like Valorant have dropped to less than 1% globally, highlighting the effectiveness of these anti-cheat strategies.
Developing and selling video game cheats can be a lucrative business, and video game developers have in recent years had to beef up their anti-cheat teams.
Vanguard, developed by Riot Games, 'forces cheats to be visible,' said Phillip Koskinas, the director of anti-cheat at Riot.
