Activision serves cease and desist to infamous Call of Duty cheat maker—and films the whole thing: ‘We will find you’
Activision has publicly served a cease-and-desist order on Elocarry, a maker of Call of Duty cheats, filming the delivery and posting it online. The move is intended both to halt alleged cheat sales and to warn other sellers that the publisher will pursue them legally and publicly as part of its anti-cheat campaign.
The exchange at Elocarry’s home in Ohio was brief and civil, although he later said he had temporarily paused sales while reviewing the matter. Activision said it has issued 80 cease-and-desist letters, disrupted 375 reseller operations and shut down 30 vendors; it also claimed that Modern Warfare 4’s recent beta had lower cheating rates, tougher-to-evade hardware bans and faster enforcement.
