They are too dumb to build good code, so they try to sue.
Even is they win this case, if there is money in it, then it's like dealing with pirates: you kill one and three other ones open up in its place -> no impact whatsoever.
You should write proper code that can't be hacked by wannabes and weekend warriors. Pros, you will never deal with.

Please update us on how it goes.
I am very curious about how the built-in cheats argument - amongst other things - works out. Like what rights exactly do they violate.

The name Activision used to mean something good. Seems they are determined to join EA in killing gaming.

Go to Germany then sue them. Laws are not the same. No one cares about your "EULA".
But you are going to try and drag the people from Europe to USA to court because USA is the Empire of The World, we should all kneel before US and their courts.

lol
worst of luck

Yes, the EULA is completely meaningless in the EU.

I wonder if they know there is no precedence law in the EU... in a few countries yes, but not everywhere.
They'll have to sue each and every one of these separately, lol

But they, as every US company, expect to sit at home and have people delivered to them from abroad. The thing is - with no US government actively pushing pressure with threats - it's not going to happen.

I suppose when TPM becomes the norm to play games, that’ll be the end of cheats - unless they are rich shits that can afford hardware weekly Razz

Regards online MP. Gave up with that years ago when generation unsupervised came online and you were dealing with anything in nappies to fuckwits that didn’t know what a computer was and used the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder…

You don't need TPM.
They've been using HWID in the past to ban people - so be vary of used motherboards.
Mind you, that did not stop shit, either.
So, again, I am confident this achieves nothing.
Only proper coding would.
