Activision-Blizzard Takes Legal Action Against Cheat Developers
July 25, 2025 - 19:37
"Call of Duty" publisher Activision-Blizzard is suing hacking developers worldwide over cheats designed for the popular first-person-shooter video game. The company has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Los Angeles, targeting several entities it describes as "parasitic" for creating and distributing cheats that undermine the integrity of the game.
These cheats not only disrupt the gaming experience for legitimate players but also pose a significant threat to the overall community and reputation of the franchise. Activision-Blizzard is seeking damages and an injunction to prevent these developers from continuing their operations. The lawsuit highlights the ongoing battle between game publishers and those who create cheats, which has become a growing concern in the gaming industry.
By taking this legal stance, Activision-Blizzard aims to protect its intellectual property and ensure a fair gaming environment for all players. This move underscores the company's commitment to maintaining the quality and integrity of its beloved titles.
