Players themselves are catching cheat sellers for Call of Duty: Warzone

The cheating problems in Call of Duty: Warzone are becoming more common and visible, so players themselves have decided to help combat cheats.

The cheats in Call of Duty: Warzone are a growing problem of a game played by tens of millions of players. Although over 70,000 cheaters have been thrown out of the game so far, it has been noted that console players are turning off the option of playing with players on the PC platform in an effort to block cheating that is primarily performed on the PC version.

The situation even came to the point where PC gamers themselves decided to team up and sabotage those who sell cheating tools / software in Warzone. As such sellers request payment via PayPal or cryptocurrency, one player through a fraudulent transaction came to the PayPal ID of the cheat seller and reported it to PayPal.

PayPal then investigated the matter and concluded that it was the sale of illegal and harmful software that eliminated the possibility of receiving payments to whoever was selling the software. Of course, this did not solve the problem completely - the same person still sells cheat software in Warzone, but receives payments exclusively through cryptocurrency, which is a more complicated way of conducting transactions, so there is a chance that fewer users will engage in such things.

What is most interesting about all this is that one player offered an idea how to reduce cheating in Warzone, while the game's creators took a different stance - waiting for the cheating to happen first and then sanctioning the cheaters instead of trying to cut the root.
