  "account": "Embark, the developer of Arc Raiders, is cracking down on cheaters with permanent bans becoming the new standard. Executive producer Aleksander Grøndal stated that cheating ruins the game's challenging and enjoyable aspects, disrupting the experience for fair players. The company spends substantial resources on anti-cheat efforts, as the cheat market constantly evolves. Now, embarking upon permanent bans for all known cheat programs, they are determined to make cheating as difficult, costly, and short-lived as possible. No warnings, no second chances will be given to accounts linked to banned players. Embark is also developing more effective in-house cheat detection models and exploring new technologies, including Elytra, used in The Finals.",
