    This involved a wild situation where someone was giving the pros hacks like aimbots and wallhacks as they were playing in the Finals event, effectively ruining the entire thing without anyone actually attempting to cheat.

    Damn.

    Looking at Titanfall and Titanfall 2, Respawn has a pretty fuckin terrible track record with multiplayer security.

    Goddamn, it really did hit Forbes. Now I’m really interested in how Respawn will handle this one.

      This is a contributor post, not a Forbes official article.

      I read here recently that the rich people who pay attention to Forbes for investment information avoid all Forbes contributor content and focus only official article from Forbes staff.

      I don’t know how true that is, but if you believe it then until a forbes staffer writes about it in an official capacity, it hasn’t actually hit Forbes.

        I understand you, but they’re not the ones who matter here tbh; it’s other laymen. I don’t use Forbes, I just know what Forbes is. Looking at that page, I’d have no idea what you’re talking about. The url is Forbes, the author’s name is there, and is labelled as a senior contributor. For most of us: “we hit Forbes boys!”

        They definitely did. This will easily be the top Apex news for at least a week.
