Ubisoft and Bungie join forces to sue this website that sold Rainbow Six Siege and Destiny cheats

Ring-1 faces accusations for selling hacks of its games and copyright infringement, among others.

Ubisoft and Bungie have filed a lawsuit against Ring-1 and the five individuals who manage this portal for the sale of cheats and hacks for well-known multiplayer games. The lawsuit, shared by TorrentFreak, alleges multiple offenses, including copyright infringement, and claims that the cheats distributed by this portal have caused millions of dollars in damages to video game companies. As you can understand from the demanding companies, the hacks on this portal affected games like Rainbow Six Siege and Destiny 2 .

But they also distributed cheats for battle royale titles like PUBG and for other popular multiplayer shooters. Ring-1 sells these traps under a subscription model in which, for between 25 and 30 euros a week , a player gets access to aimbots, HWID spoofing tools, infinite ammunition, tricks to modify the attributes of the weapons … a series of products that violate the rules of use of these games and involve a modification of their software, in addition to offering unfair advantages in multiplayer games.

Hacks can cause communities to abandon games, claims lawsuitIn doing so, Bungie and Ubisoft assert that Ring-1 “has caused and continues to cause massive and irreparable harm to the plaintiffs and their business interests.” Not surprisingly, the use of these cheats can alienate players and cause them to abandon their games for good out of frustration at the cheaters. “[The hacks] could affect the entire Rainbow Six Siege community and cause the game to wither and die,” they allege, using the Ubisoft shooter as an example. Likewise, they mention that cheats ” obtain illegally , and thereby devalue them, the in-game rewards that non-cheat players obtain legally.”

Although the lawsuit only mentions at first the 5 individuals who would manage Ring-1, Ubisoft and Bungie also mention the existence of up to 50 other individuals related to the portal whom they do not mention by name, or only have the names of their online accounts. But, of course, they promise to include all of them in the lawsuit once they are able to identify them, to tackle the problem of cheating in video games. A scourge that never goes away and that every month leaves us headlines like this one from when PUBG Mobile expelled 3.8 million players in a week .
