You know how every banned player has an excuse for how they were innocent? Well
apparently that sometimes turns out to be actually true, as
this post on Steam outlines plans to compensate players for being unfairly
banned from
PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS. Here's what's happening:
As you know, one of our highest priorities is working towards eliminating
hackers and cheaters from PUBG. We’ve made great strides in this area recently,
but unfortunately sometimes we get it wrong, which was the case recently when a
number of players were improperly banned and were unable to access the game for
a period of time.
While we will continually work to improve these cheat detection methods, we ask
for your patience on the hopefully few occasions where a false ban happens.
For those players who were affected, we will be granting a small compensation of
20,000 BP to your accounts. Compensation should already be showing up in
affected players accounts. Please check below for full details on which accounts
are eligible to receive this compensation. We apologize for anyone who missed
out on game time due to this error and hope that this compensation helps make up
for that lost time.
Bans will be removed and compensation will be provided for players that meet the
following conditions:
