Call of Duty Cheat maker EngineOwning has found that cheating on the first-person shooter is expensive, but $14.5 million isn't enough to stop the site from cheating.
It has been detected IGNEngineOwning promises to stay on Call of Duty defrauding businesses after U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald ordered several defendants, including EngineOwning, to pay Activision $14,465,600 in statutory damages and $292,912 in attorneys' fees for manufacturing and distribution COD crooks.
The judge also ordered EngineOwning to surrender its domain name, http://www.EngineOwning. at Activision.
Despite the decision, EngineOwning has a defiant tone and rejects the court's decision. He vows not to pay Activision and will not hand over the site to the video game company. He even goes so far as to say that a new cheat will be released for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.
Per IGN:
EngineOwning insisted that the people targeted by Activision's lawsuit “are inactive and have been for a long time” and that the cheat maker was handed over to a new owner “years ago.” It has also created backup domains in an attempt to block Activision's claim to the site.
“We hope and trust that our domain registrar will not be swayed by this false claim, which would not have been approved by any clear-minded judge with basic democratic values in an appropriate jurisdiction,” EngineOwning said.
EngineOwning insisted it had paused Modern Warfare 3 cheat only to work to beat Activision's latest anti-cheat technology, but threatened to release it again later. He even threatened to release a free version of his cheat once the paid version goes live.
The audacity.
Activision hasn't responded yet, but consider us interested in seeing how this plays out.
