A lawsuit is looming at Paragon .
Paragon is suing a German player. According to Epic Games, he created a “hack” for their MOBA Paragon and demanded a monthly fee for it.
Epic is therefore demanding damages from Robin K. from Constance in Germany, as reported by the US magazine Polygon.
The hack was reportedly developed in March 2016. At that time, Paragon had been in development for three years and was briefly in Early Access.
According to Polygon, the hack was advertised on relevant sites as the “most powerful hack for Paragon in the world.” It was promoted with aimbot, triggerbot, 3D radar, and that it could be customized to make it harder to detect.
In early June, Epic issued two “takedown notices” for YouTube videos showing the hack. On June 8, K. demanded that these videos be republished. This led to the conclusion by Epic that the German opened the door for a lawsuit in California. Epic demands that this be resolved before a jury. They seek damages and that all copies of this software be destroyed.
Apparently, Germans are specialists in bots. Blizzard has been dealing with a bot maker from Zwickau for years.
