Last Oasis could be another victim of its players

Cheating is serious problem for many online games, but equally serious is the lack of ways to get rid of the players that do not follow the rules. Unless you do something radical, like Last Oasis recently did.
Last Oasis is a massive multiplayer online survival game, in which players try to survive in the world that lacks resources and every bit of them is priceless. Even though the game premiered on Steam in March 2020 already it is struggling with the weakest part of every multiplayer game - the players.
Recently Donkey Crew, company behind Last Oasis, took a hard stand against cheaters that abuse their product and literally banned hundreds of players stating:
"We haven’t publicly addressed the issue until confirming that our efforts are starting to be successful, but we’ve been hard at work to eradicate the players who are so bad at the game they need cheats. So far, we’ve banned a triple-digit number of cheaters and continue to improve the tools against them. We want you to know that we take this issue extremely seriously and will not stop until the game is free from cheats."
While it sounds serious and the statement on Twitter also warned that they will not allow any way of appeal against the ban. However, later Donkey Crew reconsidered their decision and opened a channel for banned users to appeal, although they are sure their decisions were 100% valid in every case.
But cheating does not seem to be the only problem within Last Oasis - many users are losing interest in the game because of... the game concept itself. While the game allows users to form clans there are already "mega-clans" formed within the game, capable of overpowering any of the new settlers, so... It looks like Last Oasis could be another victim of their own players, who do not follow the rules or follow the rules and discourage new players from joining in.

Do you know what is the laziest trite in writing a story? To finish it with "it was all just a dream". Unfortunately, some people don’t know that, and so we have another episode of KSI’s meltdown saga.

Blink and you will miss it, a short story of AAAA game
A long, long time ago, in an evil corporation on the other side of the world, some manager desperate to keep his job came up with the Holy Grail of gaming - he will publish a game so good that no other game could come close to it. And that is how Skull and Bones was born.
