![Bethesda Bans Players For Cheating, Asks Them To Write An Apology](https://www.thetechgame.com/images/news/article/217879567a.jpg)
There have already been a few mods made by players using third party outlets such as Reshade or Cheat Engine anyway, a few of which have in fact fixed some significant issues or added useful features as well. However, Bethesda has recently been shutting down several users who’ve been engaging in modding- which, to be fair, makes sense, because players often use mods to give themselves unfair advantages in games. If Bethesda’s taking action against cheaters, there’s nothing wrong with that, right?
Except, as per posts on a Reddit thread, several of these users have been getting banned for no reasons- apparently, Bethesda has seen them make use of mods, and regardless of the nature of said mods, has been banning their accounts. And here’s the best part- how is Bethesda responding to fans who appeal against their bans? Well, all you need to do is write an apology essay about the evils of third party cheat software, and if Bethesda likes your answer, they’ll unban you.
“This account has violated the code of conduct and terms of service by cheating.” reads the email that banned users have been receiving. “The account was detected to be running a third-party application, which provides an unfair in-game advantage, while logged into Fallout 76. If you would like to appeal this account closure, we would be willing to accept an essay on ‘Why the use of third party cheat software is detrimental to an online game community’ for our management team to review.”
