In one clip, DarkZero Esports' Noyan Ozkose, known as "Genburten," notices a window pop up on his screen as he's playing the game. Suddenly, a message reading “Apex hacking global series by Destroyer2009 & R4ndom” starts spamming the chat repeatedly.

"Wait, what the fuck?" Genburten says, "I'm getting hacked."

"It's cheating…I can see everyone," he explains to his teammates, with the video showing how the game is displaying other players behind walls that he shouldn't be able to see.

Genburten promptly leaves the game.

In another video, TSM's Phillip Dosen, aka “ImperialHal," starts shooting at another player when he realizes that he's been hacked.

"I'm cheating, I'm cheating," he shouts once he realizes what's going on. "I have aimbot."

Aimbot is a cheating software that helps players accurately shoot in a game by automatically aiming at a target.

"Oh no…you've got to leave the game," his teammates responded.

As Engadgetnoted, EA has struggled with cheaters in its games, causing backlash from fans who feel like the company has prioritized the issue. In addition, EA laid offhundreds of employees just last month. The company also canceled a Star Wars first-person shooter that Respawn Entertainment was working on.
