Supercell cracks down on hacks, bots and black markets in their games
|
| Clash Royale

Supercell games are massively popular. And just like a certain massively popular MMO, there are times when you need to take a stand against bots, hacks and other fun-ruining things.

Yesterday, in a newly published article, Supercell explains that it intends to combat these abuses by banning temporarily or definitely, the players using those kinds of tools. This should concern every game from Supercell including Clash Royale.

Furthermore, Gem sellers and buyers on black markets will also be targeted in order to ensure that the game's economy remains balanced.

Supercell seems committed to this approach and it's great. But it's been difficult for Blizzard to effectively combat second-hand markets of accounts and gold so I'm curious to see how they'll approach this.
