Battlefield 6: Stream Snipers Can Now Receive VAC Bans
Battlefield 6’s latest anti-cheat update expands enforcement beyond traditional cheating software. Players engaging in the following behaviors may face penalties, including VAC bans on Steam:
- Stream sniping
- Match manipulation
- Win-trading
- Team sabotage
- Vehicle spawn blocking
- Collusion with players on the opposing team
- Targeted harassment of streamers and content creators
Battlefield 6 uses new machine learning systems to detect these offenses by identifying repeated patterns of disruptive behavior.
Enforcement focuses on repeated and intentional behavior patterns rather than isolated incidents. Confirmed offenders can receive both Battlefield-specific punishments and VAC bans visible on their Steam profiles.
X user speaks out after UMG allegedly falsely filed a DMCA takedown over a post about Drake that contained no music — only opinions.
“So clearly, they're not just trying to sabotage Drake's new release. They are trying and using DMCA to take down any narrative that they do not like. This is a form of copyright abuse that a certain company that works with the Super Bowl has also used. If you have posted anything associated with Drake's music at all, you are subject to getting a DMCA claim.”
Build a Rocket Boy, the company behind the game MindsEye, has carried out a third round of job cuts that reportedly affected up to 170 people and left only a very small team.
These layoffs occurred just days after the studio released the Blacklisted DLC for the game.
MindsEye launched in 2025 to very bad reviews and is now seen as one of the worst-rated major games in recent years.
The company’s co-CEO, Mark Gerhard, says the problems stem from a smear campaign and corporate sabotage.
Reactions to the fact that Mark Gerhard wants to put those he alleges "sabotaged" MindsEye in a Hitman-like "spy mission" came from everywhere.
