10 Most Creative Traps For Video Game Cheaters

Banning cheaters is the most straightforward method of dealing with hacking and unfair play, but it's not really as effective as many would hope it would be.

A banned player can always just create a new account and start messing with the game all over again, which is why Titanfall's developers have come up with a pretty brilliant alternative to outright banning illegitimate players.

Instead of removing them from online matches, Titanfall actually hosts special servers specifically for players who have been identified as cheaters.

Anyone rightfully convicted of foul play is sent to play with other cheaters, which helps keep regular servers free from annoying hackers on one hand and allows the developers to punish bad players with the taste of their medicine on the other.

More importantly, however, the solution does an amazing job of increasing the time of cheating players making new accounts, as they don't immediately know they've been caught.

And who knows, maybe some of them might even have a change of heart after experiencing what it's like to be on the other side of the hack.
