Background
During the launch window of the tactical first-person shooter Wardogs, popular streamer Summit1g and his group were playing matches and frequently encountering an opponent they suspected of using wall-hacks and other cheats to track and eliminate them across the map [1].
Simultaneously, the game's developer studio, Bulkhead, was hosting its first-ever Twitch livestreams to promote the title, which sits at a high position on Steam's wishlists ahead of its scheduled release [1, 2].
