Yesterday, a Twitter account named “Anti-Cheat Police Department” claimed Ricochet had been leaked, attaching an image of a forum post that shows alleged techy details about the anti-cheat. In the thread, some folks speculate that this is a fake leak designed to trick cheat-makers into working on the wrong thing, or potentially test the software against schemers. Do bear in mind this is just a reported leak though, so take all of this with a pinch of salt. I’ve reached out to Activision to try to find out more, and will update this post if I receive a response. As ever, it’s worth remembering that Activision Blizzard are still in the middle of a number of legal battles after an investigation brought to light allegations of sexual harrassment and discrimination at the company. Most recently, a union objected to a proposed settlement for one of these lawsuits, claiming it has “a number of serious deficiencies”.
