https://www.pcgamer.com/chinese-eve-online-cheaters-to-be-punished-with-virtual-menial-labour/ > There are indications that the Chinese version of EVE Online might be about to take an unusual approach to punishing players who cheat in the game. Rather than simply banning players who are discovered botting or otherwise illicitly playing the infamously challenging space-sim, rogue captains may find themselves breaking asteroids in space-prison. > Kotaku reported that data-miners from Holobreakers—a site dedicated to unearthing EVE Online changes on the game’s test server—discovered a bunch of new in-game dialogue strings, which revolve around cheating players being required to perform “menial labour” themed in-game tasks in order to regain the freedom of their avatar. In addition, the data miners also claimed to see a new type of ore mentioned that has no practical use, and exists purely for the sake of being mined. In other words, cheaters will be forced to mine a certain amount of pointless ore before being allowed to play the full game again.
