Blizzard Entertainment is once again suing German company Bossland GMBH, best known for creating the "Watchover Tyrant" cheat tool being used in Overwatch, for copyright infringement and unfair competition.

In a lawsuit filed Friday in a federal court in California, Blizzard said that the different cheating tools Bossland has released, including the Watchover Tyrant, has caused "irreparable damage" for the company. The video game publisher said its games survive and thrive on "being enjoyable and fair for players of all skill levels, and Blizzard expends an enormous amount of time and money to ensure that this is the case."
On top of the tool leading to a loss of revenue for Blizzard, the publisher claims Watchover Tyrant leads to unfair competition and violates the DMCA's anti-circumvention provision. Essentially, Blizzard is claiming that Bossland's tool is leading to Overwatch being used in a way the publisher never intended it to be used and, more importantly, in a manner that Blizzard doesn't want to allow. Just last month, Blizzard said it would be taking cheating in Overwatch very seriously, banning thousands of accounts just one week after the game's release. Players in the game's forum also called out Blizzard's strict no-cheating policy, noting that the publisher was being aggressive with banning cheaters from playing.
