Bungie and Ubisoft Accuse Destiny 2 Cheatmakers of Copyright Infringement
Bungie and Ubisoft have filed a lawsuit against five individuals said to be behind Ring-1, the claimed creator and distributor of cheat software targeting Destiny and Rainbox Six Seige. Among other offenses the gaming companies allege copyright infringement and trafficking in circumvention devices, estimating damages in the millions of dollars.
Rather than test their skills on a level playing field, some gamers prefer to deploy third-party cheating software to gain a competitive advantage.
This is particularly prevalent in multiplayer games where being able to shoot through walls, automatically aim, run at advantageous speeds and retain ammo supplies naturally provides a competitive advantage.
