'H1Z1' Cheaters Banned - Thousands of Gamers Kicked by Daybreak, YouTube Apology for Second Chance

After thousands of cheaters were banned from H1Z1 gameplay this week by Daybreak Games, the company's president, John Smedley took to Reddit to share an update on this situation. According to Smedley, the nearly 25,000 gamers have the opportunity to publicly apologize for cheating by sending in a public YouTube video to the company. So far, only three of the thousands apologizing have been unbanned, but Smedley is sharing these videos on Twitter, which is pretty entertaining.

He also took to Reddit to share videos and explain more about the apologies, according to PC Gamer.
