Call of Duty player successfully sued Activision to lift unfair in-game ban

A determined gamer, b00lin, waged a 763-day legal battle against Activision, successfully overturning an unfair in-game ban and clearing their Steam reputation. The saga, detailed in a recent blog post, began with a ban after playing over 36 hours of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta in December 2023. Initially dismissed as a testing error, Activision's refusal to lift the ban spurred b00lin's protracted fight.

Activision's staunch refusal to provide evidence of cheating, citing security concerns, even when faced with b00lin's request for seemingly innocuous information (the name of the flagged software), ultimately backfired. The case reached the courts, revealing a lack of concrete evidence against b00lin on Activision's part, highlighting the company's extreme secrecy surrounding its anti-cheat measures. The court ruled in b00lin's favor, ordering Activision to pay legal fees and lift the ban, a victory finally achieved in early 2025.
