- THUMP publicized images of the ban messages, and a player who intercepted Symfuhny in-game claimed several prolific cheaters were removed.
- Embark previously leaned on 30-day suspensions and hardware ID restrictions, a strategy widely criticized as ineffective against repeat offenders.
- Embark’s community manager earlier pledged new rules and detection tools, but the studio has not yet outlined the scope of any permanent-ban policy.
