Call Of Duty Streamer Gets Outed As Cheater, Loses Twitch Channel

Call of Duty

Steamer: I didn’t do it!

It seems Call of Duty streamer MrGolds committed a classic blunder recently. Namely, he seems to have been caught cheating just as he was bragging about how good at the game he was. And he’s currently paying the price for that.

While waiting in a Call of Duty: Warzone lobby, he was telling his 1800-strong audience just how good at the game he was, when all of a sudden, the cheat engine he seemed to be using popped up on his desktop. the moment was clipped and shared to Twitter by Era7e, another Call of Duty streamer.

Pride comes before a fall.

You might notice that, as he’s going on about how great he is, he has his task manager open, and the window right beneath that is one for a cheat engine called EngineOwning. EngineOwning features cheats for a number of games, including Call of Duty: Warzone. And per their own description:

EngineOwning – High quality cheats

EngineOwning offers cheat software for different multiplayer games.
We believe that everyone should have the ability to win and enjoy online matches.

Remember kids, if you’re a basic bitch that can’t play, there’s always cheating!

MrGolds desperately tried to get ahead of this with an Instagram post denying the possibility he was cheating, and sometime after, even streamed with a camera on his background to prove it.

Unfortunately for him, Twitch saw it differently. Using cheats in an online game is against their ToS, and his channel is no more. As to whether this is a temporary ban or permanent is unclear. But it’s not terribly surprising either way when Infinity Ward had to ask people to stop cheating while playing their games.
