Udviklere der har aktive, populære online-spil arbejder naturligvis døgnet rundt på at mindske mængden af snydere i deres respektive titler. Blandt disse finder vi naturligvis PUBG Corps, der konstant opdaterer PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds så snydere har sværere ved at ødelægge online-oplevelsen.
Dog findes der andre virksomheder der trives med snyderiet, de gør det endda til en del af deres marketingskampagner. Netop dette har Dell gjort. I et nyt interview Power Play fortæller en repræsentant fra Dell nemlig at deres nye bærbare kan køre flere "plug-ins" i spillet, og her refereres der til snyde-software.
"She spoke of how Chinese gamers are the most innovative and dominant in the world by using "plugins" to, for example, run faster than other players, or blow up ten cars at a time, and that these top gamers can really use 8th-Gen power to "run more plugins to win more at Chicken Dinner", and that the top players run the most 'plugins' so that's where 8th-gen Dell power gives them the gamer's edge. Behind her a video proudly shows various cheats in PUBG in action (they really like the one with the massively oversized gun and show that a lot), with the new Dell gaming laptops shown every few seconds while Sally told us that gamers should buy a Dell because they're better at running many plugins."
