Ubisoft and Bungie Merciless to Cheatmakers; Demand Over $2M in Compensation

Bungie and Ubisoft's lawsuit against cheat-making group Ring-1 has entered a new phase.

1. Lawyers representing the two companies have petitioned the court to award their clients $2.3 million in damages and an additional $120,000 in litigation costs.
2. The companies want the court to award these sums without a trial in case the defendant party fails to appear at the hearing.
3. The lawsuit included interesting information regarding the scale of the problem. Bungie claims that it banned 2295 accounts using Ring-1's cheats in Destiny 2. The studio stresses that not all cheaters can be detected and estimates that at least 4,000 players are actually using the group's software.
4. Ubisoft, on the other hand, has banned 1,823 cheaters using Ring-1's applications in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege. The company believes that this is only a small fraction of all players using these cheats.
5. Such numbers may not seem high, but it should be remembered that Ring-1's cheats are paid products. In the case of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege one has to pay $50 per month, and those wishing to cheat with these programs in Destiny 2 must expect to spend as much as $120 per month.

It is worth mentioning that Bungie in particular has been very active recently in the fight against cheats. Some time ago, the studio sued the cheat-making company Elite Boss Tech - this case ended in a settlement, in which the studio will receive $13.5 million in damages. The team also brought a lawsuit against streamer named Luca Leone, who allegedly cheated when playing Destiny 2 and threatend company employees.
