[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60014, member: 1"] Bandai Namco has issued a stark warning to Tekken 8 players, insisting they do not continue to play the recently-released closed network test. The latest Tekken 8 closed network test ran on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC over the weekend, and let players get hands-on with the upcoming fighting game ahead of launch. Predictably, this closed network test was cracked, and it didn’t take long for users to continue to play the build beyond the closed network test period. In a tweet, Bandai Namco said doing so breaches its terms of service, as well as the Tekken World Tour code of conduct. The unauthorized download or distribution of the game is “illegal”, Bandai Namco insisted, before threatening to ban anyone caught playing the CNT from its tournaments. “Your cooperation in preserving the fairness and competitive integrity of our competition is highly valued,” Bandai Namco said. Bandai Namco doesn’t want some players gaining an unfair advantage by playing Tekken 8's training mode indefinitely when others can’t or choose not to. A similar situation occurred ahead of the launch of Street Fighter 6, which saw some players continue to play a cracked version of an early beta after it officially ended. While Tekken 8’s closed network tests have proven popular with fans, they’ve caused Bandai Namco some headaches. Players used Cheat Engine to access the PS5-only test build that was live two weekends’ ago, and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-fans-use-cheat-engine-to-uncover-potential-unannounced-playable-characters']revealed mention of a number of unannounced characters[/URL].
