Crema Games, developers for the wildly popular new monster-collecting game Temtem, have taken a hard stance against cheaters.
Late last night, a ban-wave swept through Temtem’s servers. Over 900 accounts were handed permanent bans for either hacking the game client of repeatedly using exploits in order to cheat. These included speed hacks that vastly increased the game’s speed to make battles faster, or using bots to merely automate battles and capturing rare Temtem.
But cheaters never prosper. Crema Games banned those accounts and in an announcement on Twitter said that there would be no appeal.
“Bans are final, we won’t answer or review any ban appeal,” Crema wrote. “We’ve made 100% sure that every banned user is either a cheater or has abused exploits intentionally.”
However, this hard-line response didn’t sit well with some players. Many noted that a lack of appeals process meant that there was some possibility that players might have been banned for accidentally stumbling across a glitch and then exploiting it without realizing they were cheating. Others felt that it was simply too harsh to ban forever on a single offense.
Crema originally took that criticism and stood their ground, re-reviewing over 100 accounts to confirm the bans were “legit.” However, pressure mounted until Crema decided that an appeals process should be implemented.
“We’ve decided to review ban appeals, even though every single one of the ones we checked are legit,” Crema tweeted earlier this morning. “Like you said, having a “no appeal” policy is not good.”
The response has been generally positive as players applauded Crema for softening their stance. However, even more players are vocally in favor of Crema’s hard stance against cheaters. Crema remains on the warpath and has made it clear that cheaters will get banned, although at least now they will have a chance to appeal.
