A dedicated gamer, b00lin, waged a 763-day legal battle against Activision to overturn an unwarranted Steam ban. Their arduous journey, meticulously documented in a blog post, highlights the lengths some players will go to clear their names.
The ban stemmed from b00lin's participation in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta in December 2023, where they played for over 36 hours. Initially believing it a technical error, b00lin's appeals to Activision were rejected. Undeterred, they pursued legal action.

Activision refused to provide evidence of cheating, citing security protocols, even when b00lin only requested seemingly innocuous details like the name of the flagged software.
The subsequent court case exposed Activision's lack of concrete evidence against b00lin. The court's decision, favoring b00lin and ordering Activision to cover legal costs and lift the ban, finally arrived in early 2025, underscoring the company's stringent, perhaps overly secretive, anti-cheat policies.
