Call of Duty Ban Lifted After Activision Lawsuit

by Carter Feb 19,2025

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

Activision's staunch refusal to provide evidence of cheating, citing security protocols, even when faced with b00lin's request for seemingly innocuous details like the name of the flagged software, proved pivotal.

The subsequent court case exposed Activision's lack of concrete evidence against b00lin, highlighting the company's stringent anti-cheat secrecy. The court ultimately sided with b00lin, ordering Activision to cover legal costs and lift the ban, a victory finally achieved in early 2025.
