Call of Duty player successfully sued Activision to lift unfair in-game ban
A dedicated gamer, b00lin, waged a 763-day legal battle against Activision to overturn an unwarranted Steam ban. Their arduous journey, meticulously documented in a blog post, highlights the lengths some will go to clear their name.
The ban stemmed from b00lin's participation in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta, where they played for over 36 hours in December 2023. Initially dismissed as a technical glitch, Activision's refusal to lift the ban spurred b00lin into action. While most would have conceded defeat, b00lin chose to fight back.

Activision's staunch refusal to provide evidence of cheating, citing security protocols, proved a significant hurdle. Even a request for seemingly innocuous details—like the name of the flagged software—was denied.
The subsequent court case exposed Activision's lack of concrete evidence against b00lin, revealing a company prioritizing anti-cheat secrecy above all else. Ultimately, the court sided with b00lin, mandating Activision to cover legal fees and lift the ban, a victory finally achieved in early 2025.
