No More PunkBuster for HL / CS
9/25/2001 13:10 PST | Community | by Jeh | 13 Comments
In quite shocking news, the brains behind PunkBuster, the widely used and popular anti-cheat program, are bowing out of the Half-Life / Counter-Strike community. Although their software will still be available in it's current form, PunkBuster.com's Tony Ray states that the software cannot be improved without the technology being directly integrated into the Half-Life client, and as a result of Valve's lack of direct support this cannot be accomplished. Here's the pertinent information from PunkBuster's website:
Next, PunkBuster is very close to moving into the realm of commercial software. A corporation has been formed, Even Balance, Inc., to handle all aspects of the PunkBuster project going forward. A U.S. patent has also been filed and accepted on the software technology integral to the workings of PunkBuster. We are currently in 'Patent Pending' status.
On a sad note to honest players of Counter-Strike and Half-Life mods, we have determined that the current version of PunkBuster cannot be appreciably improved without the direct support of VALVe. We have offered to do business with VALVe on multiple occasions in the way of integrating proven Anti-Cheat technology directly into their games. At this time, we are suspending development of the Half-Life version to focus on game platforms where the developer is willing to support the effort. We sincerely believe that we have had a positive impact on the Half-Life community and we truly appreciate the support of our hundreds of thousands of users. However, from the beginning we have said that we did not want to charge users directly for our product and we intend to abide by that decision. The remaining bugs, problems, issues, etc. with the Half-Life version cannot be addressed properly without direct integration with the game, and at this time, there is no hope of that even being a possibility.

Von www.tf-scene.de :
Erik Johnson von VALVe Software
gab folgendes Statement in Bezug auf PunkBuster und deren Vorhaben Half-Life nicht weiter zu unterstützen.
We're coming up on the third year of Half-Life development, and it's been a pretty fun first three years. We don't have any plans to stop supporting our existing customers, mod makers, or server admins. It's pretty obvious that much of Half-Life's success is due to third party development, and it's for that reason that we spend so much time supporting them.
We think it's great the Punkbuster team has championed the effort to combat cheating in Half-Life. Working together with the whole Half-Life community on any kind of cheat prevention software just seems like time well spent. The more people that take up the cause to combat cheating, and the more Valve can do to support those people, the better off all of our customers and server admins are.
With that in mind, rest assured that we've talked to the Punkbuster team and we're going to see if there is a way to move the Half-Life engine toward being more friendly to these kinds of third party anti-cheat applications.

Das muss so lauten:
"Wir kommen oben auf das dritte Jahr der Halbwertzeitentwicklung, und es wird ein hübscher Spaß erste drei Jahre gewesen. Wir haben keine Pläne zum Stoppen, unsere vorhandenen Kunden, MOD-Hersteller oder Server admins zu unterstützen. Es liegt recht auf der Hand, daß viel von Erfolg der Halbwertzeit an der Entwicklung des dritten Beteiligten liegt, und es ist aus diesem Grund, daß wir soviel die Zeit verbringen, die sie unterstützt. Wir denken, daß es das Team Punkbuster hat verfochten die Bemühung, das Betrügen in der Halbwertzeit zu bekämpfen groß ist. Das Arbeiten zusammen mit der vollständigen Halbwertzeitgemeinschaft auf irgendeiner Art Überbrückerverhinderungsoftware scheint gerade wie die gut verbrachte Zeit. Mehr Leute die Ursache aufnehmen, um das Betrügen zu bekämpfen und mehr das Ventil tun kann, um jene Leute zu unterstützen, das bessere weg von allen unsere von und von Server admins sind. Mit dem im Verstand, versicherte Rest, daß wir mit dem Team Punkbuster gesprochen haben und wir sehen werden, wenn es eine Weise gibt, die Halbwertzeitmaschine in Richtung zum Sein freundlicher auf diese Arten der Anti-Überbrückeranwendungen des dritten Beteiligten zu verschieben."
