European Court of Justice rules against Sony in lawsuit over Action Replay cheats
- But legal experts say this is not necessarily a major win for cheat providers
- In a case that dates back to 2012, Sony sued Datel in German courts of its Action Replay for PlayStation Portable, using examples of the cheats this product provides for titles such as MotorStorm: Arctic Edge (for instance, infinite boosts).
- "For procedural reasons, the Court only ruled on one single ground: whether merely changing variables of a computer program qualified as an unauthorized modification. When publishers of multiplayer games act against providers of cheat software today, they typically rely on other legal instruments which are not affected by this decision, e.g. breach of EULAs and unfair competition."
