Valve apparently has to tighten its measures against scammers cluttering up servers.
Cheaters are currently one of the biggest problems in multiplayer games, including Counter-Strike 2. Valve had been fighting against unfair players long before the release of the latest shooter installment, partly through the VAC system. However, it seems that even the most sophisticated anti-cheat system may not suffice against bot farms.
What exactly is farming?
When it comes to bot farms, we are referring to software that aims to generate IP addresses intended for frequent interactions with specific platforms or games. In the case of CS2, they are used primarily to drop cases, as part of weekly rewards for “played” matches.
