As reported by Torrentfreak, a German hack maker Bossland who created a hack/cheat for Overwatch has just been ordered to pay a fine of $8.6 million to Blizzard for “Copyright infringement,unfair competition and violation of the DMCA’s anti-circumvention provision”.
This order was official by a Californian court and it seems it is legally binding. Bossland is accused and proven of reverse engineering the game and altering it, and has over 4,000 cases of copyright infringement.
While hack creators and cheaters in Overwatch are a nonsense to the gaming industry itself, this instance Bossland had to legally fight the law, and the law won.
