Matt said they're about to unban a major part of players banned by FairFight, sooner or later.
Well, while i'm not happy about it, i think it's not a critical move. Now that they're about to start using BattleEye, players that were banned in the past and complained about a faulty "punkbuster / fairfight anticheats", will now get a second chance to play fair.
So, their deal will be: Either play fair, with no cheats. OR, cheat again and as soon as BattleEye catches them, they will have no chance to give sorryazz excuses as "i was wrongfully banned, i'm legit plis gib unban sir".
For me, it's a win-win situation. They either get a second chance, or they legit ruin it with no other chances for no more lame excuses. "Russians hacked me, ermagherd ..."
