A determined gamer, b00lin, waged a 763-day legal battle against Activision, successfully overturning an unfair ban and clearing their Steam reputation. The saga began in December 2023 after b00lin played over 36 hours of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta. Initially dismissed as a technical glitch, Activision refused to lift the ban, prompting b00lin's protracted legal fight.

Activision's refusal to provide evidence of cheating, citing security concerns, even when faced with a request for seemingly innocuous data like the name of the flagged software, fueled the conflict. The case ultimately reached the courts, where Activision's lack of concrete proof of wrongdoing was exposed. The court's decision sided with b00lin, ordering Activision to pay legal fees and remove the ban, a victory finally achieved in early 2025. This case highlights Activision's stringent anti-cheat policies and their implications for players.
