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

Mar 04,25

A dedicated gamer, b00lin, successfully challenged a wrongful ban imposed by Activision, culminating in a legal victory after a protracted 763-day battle. The entire ordeal is meticulously documented in a recent blog post.

The initial ban stemmed from b00lin's participation in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta, exceeding 36 hours of gameplay in December 2023. While initially attributed to beta testing glitches, Activision's refusal to overturn the ban prompted b00lin's legal action.

Activision's defense, citing security concerns, failed to provide concrete evidence of cheating, even when faced with b00lin's request for seemingly innocuous details such as the name of the flagged software.

The subsequent court proceedings exposed the lack of substantial evidence supporting Activision's claims, highlighting the company's stringent approach to anti-cheat information. The court ultimately sided with b00lin, mandating Activision to cover legal costs and lift the ban, a resolution achieved in early 2025.
