Activision Wins $14.45M Judgment and $292,900 Legal Fees Against Call of Duty Cheat Maker

May 29, 2024, 03:18 PM

Activision has secured a significant legal victory against the cheat provider EngineOwning. A US federal court has awarded Activision $14.45 million in damages and $292,900 in legal fees. The court has also ordered EngineOwning to transfer its website domain to Activision. This judgment is part of an ongoing lawsuit that began in 2022, where Activision accused EngineOwning of DMCA violations by selling cheat software for Call of Duty. EngineOwning has responded by claiming that the site now has new owners who are not listed in the lawsuit and is creating backup URLs following the court's decision. This marks Activision's second victory in the ongoing legal battle.
