One of the biggest problems for online players in a variety of games is cheaters: players who download programming that allows them to cheat in games in a variety of ways.
In shooting games for example, one of the popular cheats is Aim-Bot - a cheat that allows the players' weapon intent to automatically localize on the opponent without the need for precision on the part of the player.
It now appears that a group of cheaters, Elite Boss Tech, which is responsible for developing cheat programming, has given in to a lawsuit filed by Bungie (which is responsible for developing the game Destiny 2) and will have to pay about $ 13.5 million as part of a settlement agreement.
Bungie in response, will waive the statement of claim.

The story began last August when Bungie filed a lawsuit against Elite Boss Tech and its owner, Robert James Dothy, over the development, sale and distribution of cheat programming in Destiny 2. The lawsuit included clauses for copyright infringement of the game, extortion, fraud, And money laundering.
Bungie claimed that Destiny 2's gameplay and integrity experience was impaired as a result of the cheat programming developed by Elite Boss Tech, which caused them heavy financial damage.
The cheat company claimed that they had never distributed copies of Destiny 2 and therefore no distribution of the game was made, so in practice it did not infringe copyright.

It would seem that the two do not reach an agreement and the trial is about to take place, but this week it seems that Robert James Dothy has withdrawn his position, and agreed to a compromise in which he will pay about $ 13.5 million to Bungie, in addition to banning the development of cheat programming for other games. .
Game companies and developers continue to fight against those scammers who ruin the gaming experience for ordinary gamers.
Just this week Activision released another update to its RICCOCHET program designed to fight cheaters, noting that it has already shut down over 180,000 accounts identified as "infected" with voice-of-duty games.
