Activision rolled out bans for users of Call of Duty: Warzone’s EngineOwning cheats at the end of September, removing thousands of hackers from the game. Popular Call of Duty: Warzone streamer Wagnificent was one of the players caught in the wave of bans, but he has protested his innocence ever since the ban took place. It seems the rising Twitch star has had enough, as Wagnificent recently threatened to sue Activision over the ban.

Wagnificent said he never cheated or downloaded cheat software for the game, maintaining the idea that he is not one of Call of Duty: Warzone’s increasingly many hackers. In a Tweet that has now been deleted, Wagnifent said, “If [the ban] isn’t addressed then my lawyers will be in contact soon.” The Twitch streamer specifically said the unjust ban “is defamation of character,” and he goes on to say that the ban is “ruining my reputation.”

While gamers have been trying to avoid hackers in CoD: Warzone, Wagnificent has been waiting for his shadow ban to come to an end. With supposedly “another two weeks” left to go before the streamer can enter matches again, he has been noticeably upset on social media. According to Wagnifcent, the ban happened due to “suspicious activity from in-game reporting,” though others who have kept an eye on the situation believe this is unlikely.

Sources for both Vice and CharlieIntel reported that Wagnificent had used EngineOwning cheats despite his claims otherwise, which could be the reason his threat to sue Activision was taken down. Regardless, with even Twitch’s biggest streamers like Shroud frustrated by Call of Duty Warzone’s cheaters, the issue will likely persist for some time.

Players will not just have to watch out in Warzone matches, however, as Black Ops Cold War already has a cheating problem based on its beta. Hopefully, bans continue for Call of Duty: Warzone’s cheaters, even if streamers are caught in the crossfire.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
