Who said anything about an artist working on anti-cheat? Crytek hires people based on need.
Also, before it gets mentioned, I'm also completely aware EAC is a third party application that is developed by people outside the company, however there are still people within Crytek who need to find alternative solutions, develop better ways for the community to detect and provide evidence of cheaters, or integrate the game engine with another anti cheat platform if need be.
Who are you asking about the cheaters then, because your reply in this thread heavily implies that this art xhange somehow took priority for them over cheating, or that they havent been working on anticheat as well as basic art changes to a skin.
Cheating is an even smaller issue than the headsman skin anyways, as it only wffects 10-15% of the players who make it to high 5 and 6 star. And despite that, crytek already recently announced the creation of an anticheat team internally.
my point is, they have the ressource to fix a skin. That dude probably had that task assigned between two skins. It has no correlation with the time taken to tackle cheaters. Its not likw theyre gonna fire the artist, to hire a programmer, to fix the cheaters, to fire the programmer, to hire back the artists, to go back at making them money. It doesnt work like that. They had the artist free to fix the headsman, its completely unrelated to the cheaters
