The giant technology conglomerate Tencent and the Chinese authorities collaborated to end what the police described as the “biggest” operation in the world dedicated to the sale of video game tricks.
Citing reports from local media, the BBC reported that the company was selling cheats for popular games like Overwatch and Call of Duty Mobile. Local officials said the group, called Chicken Drumstick, sold cheats to “hundreds of countries and regions” through a website. The police confiscated about $ 46 million in assets – including luxury cars – and arrested 10 people in connection with the gang. The operation reportedly sold subscriptions that cost up to $ 10 a day or $ 200 a month, with revenues of $ 76 million.
This is not the first time that Tencent has collaborated with the police to arrest the cheat. In 2018, the company began to crack down on people who betrayed PlayerUnknown’s battlegrounds.
The police described the organization as the “biggest” cheating operation in the world due to the large sums of money and games involved.
