Call of Duty: Warzone cheat providers seem to be running for the hills after publisher Activision filed a lawsuit against EngineOwning<\/a> in the California District Court for statutory damages regarding the distribution of software they deem gives an unfair advantage to players.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit has seemingly triggered a domino effect, prompting other cheat providers to close up shop. While Activision has appropriated an aggressive response to cheating with the release of its new Ricochet anti-cheat<\/a> system, it did not initially spark much fear among cheat providers.<\/p>\n

For instance, following Ricochet’s release, EngineOwning<\/a> boasted its ability to easily bypass Ricochet, which, at least by now, they might come to regret. However, it seems Activision’s decision to “hit them where it hurts” (i.e., their wallets) might have been the correct course of action, after all.<\/p>\n

Major Call of Duty cheat providers are shutting down<\/h2>\n

According to a source, cheat provider Cynical Software said that they are “immediately stopping sales” of Call of Duty<\/a> related hacks and cheats, citing “they don’t want to get sued.”<\/p>\n
