    So, these games do not ban cheaters, but instead try to inconvenience them until they stop cheating? I wonder why they don’t outright ban the cheaters. Are they afraid of getting chargebacks or refund request? Or are a huge proportion of those cheaters actually some big spender so the game companies don’t want to ban them because retaining them is more profitable?

      because ban evasion is a problem and dealing with cheaters is more effective when they don’t know they’ve been tagged as a cheater

      They’ll get banned eventually, one of the purposes of the “ghost” players is they can be used on “suspected” players that aren’t 100% sure of cheating yet, and trying to kill them will let system know they are in fact a cheater.
