Charlie Intel reported that many of the cheaters apparently stemmed from the Microsoft Store version of Modern Warfare III. The site reported that PC players were able to appear as if they were on Xbox, and then used hacks to get an upper hand. Activision said its Ricochet system can detect the specific platform for all users, "despite how they may appear in-game."

Activision went on to encourage people to submit an in-game report if they suspect anyone in their lobby is cheating so its teams can investigate. "We remain committed to combating cheaters, shutting down cheat vendors, and providing our players a fair and fun experience," Activision said.

"We may not agree with the assertions made in these legal demands, but we are in no position to litigate with such a large company," the group said (via PC Gamer). "It brings us no pleasure to inform all of you that we will be closing our business starting today."

In May, Activision was awarded $14.5 million in a settlement with a big Call of Duty cheat-maker.

Fighting against cheaters is a never-ending job, Activision has said, because when the company addresses one vulnerability, people discover another.
