The lawsuit was initiated by Activision in January 2022, and alleged that EngineOwning was profiting from the sale of cheating software that grants unfair advantages to players in Call of Duty games. According to Activision, such software not only disrupts the gaming experience for legitimate players but also tarnishes the reputation of the game itself. The company further claimed that the cheating software was intentionally designed to evade detection by Activision's anti-cheating technology.

EngineOwning, known for providing and selling cheats for various popular titles including Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Battlefield, and Titanfall, was at the center of the legal dispute.

Recently Bungie, the developer of Destiny, has been granted $63k in damages following a lawsuit against cheat selling company.The jury, in a unanimous decision, upheld Bungie's claims, recognizing the cheats as a violation of the company's intellectual property rights.
