Rockstar & Take-Two Get Warrant to Search Homes of GTA 5 Cheaters
Last year we saw the lengths Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive Software went to in attempt to Halt Game Modding, and most recently mainstream media sites including the BBC, Kotaku.com.au, PCGamer.com and TorrentFreak.com report that an Australian Federal court has granted a warrant (gtaorders-1.pdf) against alleged GTA 5 Cheat "Infamous" developers to have their homes searched and any assets pertaining to the case frozen or seized as evidence. 
This comes just before the official release of their highly anticipated sequel Red Dead Redemption 2 next week on October 26th, 2018 sending a clear message against video game cheaters.
According to reports, the Infamous cheat (demo video below) allowed players who paid around $40 to generate virtual currency and use a 'god mode' invincibility feature which consequently went offline about six months ago.
Infamous 2.3.165 Trailer
Under the court order five individuals who were named as Christopher Anderson, Cyrus Lesser, Sfinktah, Koroush Anderson and Koroush Jeddian are now prevented from creating or using game cheats and are allowed only to withdraw money for modest living expenses from their frozen accounts.
Are copyright holders and courts taking this issue too seriously, or are these legal actions necessary against cheaters who often sell and profit from their software while ruining the fun for legitimate players?

PlayStation Worldwide Studios Releases: Next Wave of PS4 Games
PlayStation's Worldwide Studios unveiled the next wave of PS4 games incoming, with updates on four anticipated WWS titles including Days Gone and Concrete Genie as detailed below.
Here's the scoop from Sony Marketing VP Asad Qizilbash via PlayStation Blog, to quote:
We wanted to give you a status check on the next wave of innovative experiences from our studios in Bend, OR; Tokyo; San Mateo, CA; London; and more. Each title is as varied as its hometown!
Deracine
As previously announced, Deracine from Sony Interactive Entertainment, SIE Japan Studio, and FromSoftware is scheduled for release exclusively for PlayStation VR* this November 6, 2018.
In an emotionally deep narrative, players will take the role of an unseen faerie who forges a personal bond with the children in a secluded boarding school. While moving around the boarding school in frozen time, players will collect and piece together various bits of information that serve to unfold an overarching mystery. Deracine is the VR debut from Bloodborne director Hidetaka Miyazaki, and FromSoftware.
Days Gone
Release date: April 26, 2019 (UPDATED)
We want to share a change in release date for this highly anticipated title from Bend Studio. We recently decided to move the release of Days Gone from the crowded February timeframe to April 26, 2019. While the studio is eager to see Days Gone in the hands of fans, Bend Studio will take the opportunity to further polish Days Gone.
As PlayStation fans already know, Days Gone is an open-world action game set in the high-desert of the Pacific Northwest. Traversing harsh landscapes on their drifter bike, players must fight for resources as they attempt to survive broken roads, unpredictable weather, attacks from other human factions, infected wildlife and roaming Freakers — a brutal, dynamic world that is dangerous both day and night.
Concrete Genie
Release timeframe: Spring 2019
Developed by the Pixelopus team at PlayStation, Concrete Genie follows a bullied teenager named Ash who escapes his troubles by painting spectacular living landscapes and mischievous creatures in the walls of his abandoned hometown of Denska. Using a magical paintbrush, Ash discovers his paintings can purify Denska’s polluted walls and bring life back to the town.
