On 4th January, Call of Duty<\/a> (COD) game series publisher Activision filed a lawsuit against popular cheat provider EngineOwning<\/a> in the U.S. Central District of California, alleging “trafficking in circumvention devices; intentional interference with contractual relations; [and] unfair competition.”<\/p>\n

According to the preliminary statement, Activision “seeks to put a stop to unlawful conduct” to EngineOwning’s operations, which the publisher claims distributes and sells “malicious software products designed to enable members of the public to gain unfair competitive advantages” across a number of its game titles.<\/p>\n

Activision claims that the ongoing activities of EngineOwning damage its games, overall business and experience of the community of players.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, Activision is seeking actual or maximum compensation for statutory damages under the “anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA” of $ 2500 for each violation of the law and other equitable relief.<\/p>\n

Beyond this, Activision also claims to have evidence that EngineOwning is attempting to create cheats for its other intellectual property, Overwatch.<\/p>\n

This is also not the first time Activision has targeted a cheat provider.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Activision won a lawsuit for $ 8.6 million against cheat provider Bossland after the provider ignored requests to cease distribution of World of Warcraft manipulation software.<\/p>\n
