A Lithuanian mobile and social gaming company is suing seven unidentified gamers for writing and posting software cheats that modify the gameplay of its Guns of Boom multiplayer first-person-shooter game.
Perkins Coie attorneys are representing Vilnius, Lithuania-based UAB Game Insight in its suit over the John Does' cheats, which thousands of players have downloaded.
"Defendants develop, publish, and distribute cheat software that undermines this level playing field, threatens the integrity of the Guns of Boom player experience, and infringes on Game Insight's valuable intellectual property rights," wrote the Perkins Coie lawyers in a complaint filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
