PSA: Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition Is Back, Forever

The Rainbow Six Siege Starter Pack is available once again in the Ubisoft store, but unlike last time it won’t be around for a limited time. Up for $15, the starter pack gives you access to the entire game with one caveat: The price to unlock operators is significantly higher, we’re talking 5-6 times the price.
Alternately, you can just pick up the full game on sale for $24.99. If you do go the cheap route and decide to upgrade later on, you can do that as well.

Rainbow Six Siege: Ubisoft Now Bans On First Offense

Ubisoft is following in the line of Blizzard and taking a hard line stance against cheating in Rainbow Six Siege. In a code of conduct update, players have been warned that cheating is now a permanent ban on the first offense. In addition, the team is considering use of third party anti-cheat options like Fairfight that will be implemented at some point in the near future.
“The presence of cheating in the game is something we take very seriously, and is a priority on the development team. This update is one step among many that we are working on to better engage with the community on this issue.”
Not all instances of cheating will result in permanent bans, although the FAQ does not specify exactly where the two divide. The move follows recent revelations that Blizzard is banning cheaters in Overwatch across multiple accounts, and after The Division launched to heavy criticism over cheaters running rampant.
