Call of Duty is against all cheating inside of its games, so recently a cheat provider called Interwebz received legal papers and have decided to shut down their services. They released an announcement on Twitter that they wouldn’t be continuing business and while some players might be “sad” because they came to trust them, that this would be the best option for them.
CharlieINTEL which is a popular member of the Call of Duty community released their own tweet about the situation, saying “good riddance” to the cheating provider.

The cheating provider goes on to state that the legal notice they received apparently asked them to stop their production of their products and that they “complied” with the notice and that they “don’t have many other options available.”
Instead of being sad, it seems more of the community was happy to learn that the cheat provider was shutdown since it is a serious problem in Call of Duty. When someone cheats, it unbalances online matches and will make everyone’s hard trying in vain.
While this is good improvement, there are still many other cheating providers on the internet for Call of Duty that we all hope will be shut down in the near future. But for now, at least one more bites the dust, as players excitedly await Call of Duty mobile to release.
Call of Duty is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

We knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye. Nintendo shut down the online servers for both the Wii U and 3DS today. This means the end of online multiplayer gaming for both consoles, turning Mario Kart 7 for 3DS and the original Splatoon for the Wii U into single player or couch co-op experiences. The first Super Mario Maker is also effectively dead, as there’s no way to browse for and download player-created levels.
Nintendo will be shutting down online play for 3DS and Wii U early next week.
Ubisoft racing game The Crew shut down on March 31st, rendering the game unplayable for everyone who bought it since its release ten years ago.
This is just a quick reminder that Nintendo 3DS and Wii U online services will be discontinued next Monday, 8th April.
The Pokemon Company has officially shut down its Pokemon TV app, sunsetting the anime streaming app available for fans on Switch. Since its debut in the late 1990s, the Pokemon anime has been one of the most popular facets of the massively popular monster-catching franchise, airing consistently for more than 25 years. The franchise has typically debuted a new series of the anime to coincide with each of its new game releases, featuring the most recent games' new region and Pokemon. Now, however, one popular way of watching the anime has now been shut down.
Activision, in a strange turn, has now been forced to work with cheat providers for Call of Duty. The reasons, however, are justified and quite serious. Hackers are attacking Call of Duty players.
