A determined gamer, b00lin, waged a 763-day legal battle against Activision to overturn an unjust Steam ban. Their arduous journey, meticulously documented in a blog post, began after a 36+ hour Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta session in December 2023 resulted in a permanent ban. Initially believing it a technical error, b00lin's appeals were rejected by Activision. Undeterred, they pursued legal action.

Activision, citing security concerns, refused to provide evidence of any alleged cheating, even when b00lin only requested seemingly innocuous details like the name of the flagged software. The subsequent court case revealed Activision's lawyers lacked concrete proof of wrongdoing, highlighting the company's stringent anti-cheat secrecy policies. Ultimately, the court sided with b00lin, ordering Activision to lift the ban and compensate for legal fees. Victory finally arrived in early 2025.
