    Streamer Bobbypoff threatens to sue Activision for fake Call of Duty ban

    Online Niel Posted on

    Twitch streamer Bobbypoff says he may sue Activision for falsely banning him in Call of Duty and Warzone.

    In October, Bobbypoff was permanently banned from CoD due to the game’s Ricochet anti-cheat program.

    Bobby denied cheating, even going so far as to have a third party computer checker look at his computer to determine that it had no software installed to give it a competitive advantage.

    A few days later, it was revealed that year exploit had been discovered which allowed unhappy users to permanently ban CoD players even if they weren’t in their lobby.

    Although Activision said only a small number of players were affected, an anti-cheat watchdog warned that the situation is much worse.

    In any case, Bobbypoff is still not happy with how he was banned and is threatening Activision with legal action.

    “To be completely honest, if I’m going to sue these guys, I’ve talked to lawyers, lawyers, lawyers, I’ve talked to all kinds of bloody people. I just want to play CoD,” he said.

    “At this point, I just want to apologize profusely. I don’t even know what I’m doing. I need to take a break.”

    It’s unclear if Bobby’s lawsuit will get off the ground, or even if he’ll be successful in taking Activision to court, but he’s far from the only one to report issues with the Call of Duty ban.

    As reported by Dexerto, Multiple Black Ops 6 players have reported being hit with shadow bans despite not using any cheats and claiming that Ricochet can’t tell who is actually cheating.

    This news comes from a publication study this resulted in Ricochet being on the lower end of cheater stopping effectiveness. The same study found that it cheats developers make a fortune and achieve combined revenues between $12.8 million and $73.2 million annually.
