The publisher Activision has now sued one of the most well-known cheat websites for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone. This has stopped the sale of CoD hacks and apologizes to the players.
What is the lawsuit about? Cheaters and hackers are a annoying problem in CoD: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone – even in Season 5. And Activision and Infinity Ward have been fighting hard against this problem for some time now.
Now, however, they seem to be addressing the cheat problem directly at the root. According to reports, the publisher has now sued CxCheats, one of the most well-known cheat provider websites for MW and Warzone.
Where does the information come from? It does not come from Activision itself, but from a statement by CxCheats that the cheat provider recently published on its Discord server. However, this has since been taken offline along with the statement – apparently as part of the proceedings. But some users managed to take screenshots of it. Activision itself has not yet commented on the lawsuit.
How does the cheat provider react? They published the aforementioned statement to the customers, which highlights the first consequences for the cheat developers and their clientele. It states, among other things:
In the end, CxCheats also apologized with the words: “We apologize for any pain (trouble) we have caused ‘Call of Duty’ players”
After the CoD products were removed, the site continued to offer cheats for other games such as Apex Legends or PUBG. However, the CxCheats website has apparently been completely taken offline and is no longer accessible at the time of this article.
What do the players say? The vast majority of commenting users on reddit celebrate this step in the fight against cheaters. Especially over their hypocritical apology, some people are making fun.
In the forum of CxCheats, angry customers voiced their frustration. After all, they had paid for cheats that no longer work. Some hope for a refund.
