Video game companies sue US man over cheating software


The lawsuit says cheating software sold by GatorCheats allows users to manipulate ‘Valorant’ (pic) and ‘Destiny 2’ by automatically aiming weapons, revealing the location of opponents and providing other advantages normally unavailable to players. — Riot Games/TNS

Two major video game publishers have filed a lawsuit against an Albuquerque resident who they believe made as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars from selling cheating software for two popular online games.

On Jan 8, Riot Games and Bungie filed a lawsuit in US District Court in California against Cameron Santos and Santos’ company, GatorCheats, for creating and selling software that gives users unfair advantages in online shooting games Valorant and Destiny 2.
