Bungie and Riot are joint plaintiffs in the suit against GatorCheats, which is allegedly owned and operated primarily by Cameron Santos, a resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Through his website and social media channels, the suit claims Santos has sold his cheating software and made “hundreds of thousands” of dollars. The cheating software is the usual stuff: aimbots, wallhacks, and field of view manipulation.
GatorCheats have also offered cheats for other popular online games, and ran ‘undetected’ in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare until November 2020, according to a message from the creator that was posted to Reddit. GatorCheats had been sent a cease and desist order from Activision Blizzard attorneys back in May, which prompted Santos to stop selling new licenses to the software. However, GatorCheats offers monthly and lifetime subscriptions to its cheat software, and Santos continued supporting it until at least September, when another letter arrived that “made clear that stopping sales to new customers is not enough,” according to the message sent to subscribers.
