Cheating at video games

While cheating at video games is not outright illegal under federal or state law, some naive players have learned the hard way that you can be sued for cheating at popular games like "Fortnite," "Overwatch" and "World of Warcraft." The makers of these popular games have successfully taken cheaters to court for violating the game's copyright and terms of use contract by buying, selling, using or distributing cheats.
