'Anyone found to be cheating will be permabanned from playing Marathon forever, no second chances': Bungie's doubling down on security following Arc Raiders' recent struggles

As we've learned from the likes of Arc Raiders as of late, cheating and exploits are absolutely game-breaking in an extraction shooter. The recent item duplication glitch forced Embark to dish out warnings and bans after it broke the in-game economy, though there have been fears over big-name content creators getting preferential treatment.

Bungie has evidently been taking notes in the background, as it has just released a hefty blog on how it will handle cheating and networking issues in Marathon.
