It's ego and they actually think they can win against cheat makers. But like it or not, there will always be cheats, for the same reason there will always be cracked copies of their games.

If it runs, it can be cracked. -An old 0day saying

PS - Just let us have our own dedicated servers again. Then we can just banhammer a bitch, instead of relying on a stupid lobby vote system and a report button.

If you could have your own server, you could keep playing the game after they decide it's time for you to pay $90 for the next one.

BF4 still very playable!

...because of private servers.

just picked it up for $4 and (after the annoying Punkbuster install) it holds up really well, especially for being 12yo. definitely scratches the Battlefield itch so I don't feel so tempted to buy BF6

Nice. There are some servers with only the premium maps but if they are cheap it's worth it, including Firestorm, which they are bringing back for BF6. Peak Battlefield.
