Overview
- On Friday, Aug. 28, Activision’s official Call of Duty account posted footage showing a representative hand a cease-and-desist notice at an Ohio residence and identified the target as Elocarry.
- Activision says the action is one of many in a wider RICOCHET Anti-Cheat campaign that it reports has disrupted more than 375 reseller operations, issued over 80 cease-and-desist demands, and shut down more than 30 vendors.
- The released clip shows the representative telling the door recipient the papers are from 'attorneys for Activision' and the company blurred the individual’s face in the public video.
- Activision reported that Modern Warfare 4 beta data showed lower cheat infection rates, hardware bans that were harder to evade, and faster time-to-action for enforcement.
- Elocarry appears to have removed Call of Duty offerings but remains online selling cheats for other games, underscoring that legal takedowns may deter some sellers while the cheat market adapts and continues to require both technical detection and legal pressure.
