Activision is shifting its anti-cheat strategy from digital detection to physical enforcement for Call of Duty. This move targets the real-world infrastructure that supports cheating, aiming to disrupt the supply chain rather than just banning accounts. Players who value fair matches may see a reduction in the availability of cheat software if these supply chains are effectively severed.
Activision targets cheat sellers directly in Ohio
The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team executed a physical takedown of a cheat maker known as Elocarry. This action took place in Ohio during the Closed Beta period of a recent Call of Duty title. The operation demonstrates a commitment to pursuing cheat sellers outside the digital realm.
Activision stated that cheat makers operate globally and that the company is taking direct action against them. The team traveled to Ohio to locate and dismantle the operation of Elocarry. This approach differs from typical remote account suspension practices.
The company emphasized that anti-cheat efforts do not end when a match concludes. By targeting the sellers directly, Activision intends to disrupt the business model of cheat providers. This approach highlights the ongoing battle between game developers and those who violate fair play policies.
