Content overview: “Wardogs Region Locking: Bulkhead Says It Targets Cheating, But Players in Asia and Cross-R”. Cross-region players, including those with friends in different parts of the world, have also criticized the change, saying it blocks them from joining their friends and fragments the player base. Region locking is a controversial but increasingly common tactic in online games, as developers weigh the need to curb cheating and improve connection quality against the desire for a global, unified player pool.
For Wardogs, the move could reduce the frequency of encounters with cheaters for players in regions with lower cheating rates, but it risks alienating honest players in affected regions and those who enjoy cross-region play. Bulkhead has not yet detailed how the region locks will be enforced or whether any exceptions will be made for parties with friends across regions.
