Comment on Respawn will deal with Apex Legends cheaters by making them fight each otherparent

No cheat detection code is perfect. Banning cheaters encourages the creation of new cheats (or just new accounts, since it doesn't cost anything to start playing Apex). Allowing cheaters to continue playing is a win for two reasons:

1. They don't know they've been quarantined, so cheat makers will get less feedback about which cheats have been detected. 2. Cheaters are more likely to try new cheats, so it gives a sandbox of users that can be used to find other cheats as they arise.
