Some clarification on the recent ban wave

Hi everyone. Obviously there is a lot of consternation and confusion right now over the recent bans. I just wanted to clarify a few things.

As the official post says, playing on a client distributed by anybody other than us or our official partners could get you flagged for a ban. Yes, this means if you sideloaded the game you were likely flagged. Our official partners are Apple, Google, Flexion and Steam. We distribute the game on PC through the downloader at https://playcontestofchampions.com/ Those are the only official channels to get the game, if you used any other means you were likely flagged.

We tested this algorithm against hundreds of known good accounts without any false positives. Having said that, in any action this big, there might be edge cases that couldn't be accounted for in advance. We are obviously taking these reports seriously and investigating these cases.

    wanna make it clear that who didn't got ban shouldn't just say like yeah modder would say he ain't modder blah blah, many people got banned and have been playing since long time , they didn't ban modders only they banned everyone even those who use boosters cause the team doesn't optimise game enough and it lags hard on a mobile where I can high graphic games like genshin in mid-high setting so it's kabam's fault either warn through mail or just don't take such action

    If your game’s modded, no one needs to prove you cheated—you're already not playing fair. Clean players shouldn't have to guess whether you're legit when you're running hacked code.
    Thats what I said those who aren't effected acts this way towards everyone

    Bir hata olduğu kesin 10 yıldır oynuyorum. Böyle saçma bir ban atma şekli görmedim. Hesabımı derhal açın. 10 yıldır bu oyunu hakkıyla oynayan birine yaptığınız bu muamele akıl alır gibi değil

    also please make clear what exactly counts as 3rd party software cause there's just a whole bunch of confusing stuff popping out

    ANY emulator- Example is BlueStacks.
    Sideloading the game from a website and not a official download location like the website APKPure.

    10k people is a lot of people. I cannot picture that many people modding. I would be pissed if I was banned for no reason like a lot of people are saying.

    They aren't modding. This is strictly for people whose app was not downloaded through official channels. Crashed laid the whole thing our for you and you didn't read any of it?
    Exactly this, 10,000 people to this game is, I would say there is a minimum 600K players online right now. And there are millions of downloads, this has affected only about 2%-4% of the player count right now. And 1% of players who typically play (causuals, content creators, forums users etc) There’s a lot less truth than we think there is.
