Activision refused to provide any evidence of the alleged cheating, citing security concerns. b00lin only requested "harmless" information, such as the name of the software being flagged, but the company remained steadfast in their decision. The case eventually went to court, where it was revealed that Activision's lawyers had no concrete proof of wrongdoing. It became clear that the company takes anti-cheat secrecy very seriously.

In a landmark ruling, the court sided with b00lin, ordering Activision to cover their legal fees and lift the ban. This victory was finally achieved in early 2025, marking a significant moment for gamers everywhere who seek justice against unfair bans.
