In this particular case, we're talking about people being banned sometimes before ever even playing their first multiplayer game because of an anti-cheat system with a kernel-level driver and ML-assisted autobans producing a lot of false positives.

But yes, people who are actually using cheats are manipulating/attacking the service they're using and deserve nothing from the companies who are trying to defend against it.

If they were cheating. Otherwise it's called stealing.

That’s fine if they’re banned from the multiplayer component. Not fine if they ban you from singleplayer.
