Embark says cheating spiked from December and pulled them off content work They also explain why they can't just hire more people

Can’t hire more people after making all that money? Sounds like bullshit if you ask me.

So a year later we have answers. Cheaters are the biggest reason Arc Raiders didn’t succeed to its potential.

You mean when they were off work for 2 months lol

Yea man you guys only made a hundred mill off this game and no yall don’t give a shit easy just say that

Bullshit. It’s better to slowly hire more help now instead of waiting later on when you desperately need it.

THEN OUTSOURCE!!!! Find a company or team, do a deal, and leave it to them. ORRRR hire more people. Talking about it doesn't work like that....yes tf it does! People just be lying. If you do want to allocate your funding to cheats which is the primary negative of the game then you guy's priorities are in the wrong place. Your October update won't protect you from what's about to happen. Fix the cheating or your game is about to get EVEN WORST.

What work did they do on cheaters that pulled them away from content???

Yeah im not buying that. My opinion is that they were not particularily ambitious with this game, and they still aren’t.

Bruh we have AI models combing 3-4 games in minutes. Assign an agent to those tasks lol I wonder if they’ve even attempted it

Basically nah we dont hire more people we are money grabbers 😂

Pulled them off and they did nothing about it 😆😆😆 this company is full of excuses. Just excuses. Billion dollar bag and still broke people excuses.

Lmao they released the most profitable shooter of 2025 how can they NOT hire more folks?

It’s a small team and these failures show it.

Maybe take some ppl off making all those microtransactions

Wish they had took care of the cheating in early 2026, if they did we’d probably still see @Ninja streaming Arc. Those were my favorite streams to watch (it’s a long shot ik) but hopefully he returns for this new update

Finding new people shouldn't be a timely endeavor when you got people being laid off nearly every month. Competent devs no less

No. It isn't "glitches, exploits and bugs". MFs are running cheats. Walls. ESP. Aimbot. Black market. Zen. etc etc This shows how stupid or naive these devs are. Cheating is a massive industry now that honestly I think gaming companies are in business with.

Might have been worth scaling up within reason when your player base was 350k rather than explaining why it isn't viable to do so now the current player base is 20k?

They could have easily banned the consistent stream snipers that snipe the big streamers everyday. Wardogs did it, they even accidentally banned summit and reverted the changed asap and made video about it

AI to develop humans to combat cheaters.

All I hear is pathetic excuses. This is your last chance to save this game. Yall remind me of a bunch of fat ass lazy devs

Tech companies put up big $ for people that can solve very specific problems. With the revenue from Arc, they could fix the issues by get talented developers who are paid and happy.. I understand their pov but it’s just frustrating how they don’t see their loss in this long term

Scoffs at “lead times are long for that”. It’s October n cheaters are still running rampant. They could’ve been up to speed by now. They put out BS stats “1 in 100 games has a cheater”.. yeah bc they’re all in pvp lobbies and pvpers left so it’s just majority friendly lobbies.

Not sure where to split your focus? Fix the bugs, dupe exploits, and other hacks before anything else. It ruins the gameplay of what you already have and then you lose players. All the new content you made is wasted when there is no one left to play it.

@HutchMF gotta post a reaction of the full video

Trust me they are bad engineers

Embark is trash.

Splitting up teams to push content can be very challenging. I’d love to know what group they assembled to pull of the masterclass that was a fucking duck deaign contest. That was the only thing they did for like a 2 month period. Bs is one thing but these are lame excuses.

Are you kidding me? Hiring more people takes time? That's why you should of done that along time ago. Every game has same problems with cheating and glitches and content. They should of seen this coming, doesn't take a rocket scientist to see these issues.
