A dedicated gamer, b00lin, waged a 763-day legal battle against Activision to overturn an unwarranted Steam ban. Their remarkable journey, chronicled in a detailed blog post, highlights the lengths some will go to clear their name.
The ban stemmed from b00lin playing over 36 hours of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta in December 2023. Initially dismissed as a technical glitch, Activision's refusal to overturn the ban spurred b00lin into action.

Activision's staunch refusal to provide evidence of cheating, citing security protocols, even when faced with b00lin's request for seemingly innocuous details like the name of the flagged software, fueled the legal conflict.
The subsequent court case exposed Activision's lack of concrete evidence against b00lin, revealing a company prioritizing anti-cheat secrecy above all else. The court ultimately sided with b00lin, ordering Activision to cover legal costs and lift the ban, a victory finally achieved in early 2025.
