Bossland, a company that generates video game cheats, was sued by Overwatch developer Blizzard. This is because of the creation of a hacking software which interferes with Blizzard copyrights. As a result, this case might cost the company millions of dollars. Bossland is known for creating primary cheats for the Overwatch game and it is called Watchover Tyrant.
This cheat allows users to see both of their friends' and enemies' health and names. It provides a radar that show everything to help the player cheat. It also allows users to wall-hack, a technique that allows the players to see their opponents through walls.
In every PvP oriented game, hacks that are similar to this can bring an imbalance to the playing field. Most of the gamers strictly follow the rules of the game, especially Overwatch, in order to make the game better for all. Fair play can help the person notice how their skills can stack up as opposed to other players, and how their skills can be improved.
Hacks like Watchover Tyrant can disturb the game's meta, thus interfering the fun that everyone is having aside from the hacker. When those gamers who are honestly playing realize that they cannot compete anymore due to the lack of cheats, they will just transfer into the dark side and will also get hacks or just move into another session.
There were already numerous games that have failed, because its developers did not successfully addressed the cheating with the games, according to Inquisitr. There were a lot of gamers that have stopped playing even if they have excellent skills in terms of play and technical aspects, all because of their ruined experienced brought about by hackers.
Games that are being plagued by these cheating incidences have already cost developers millions. This is the reason why Overwatch is taking seriously preventing this kind of situation from happening.
