I was watching a YouTube video where a programmer created a cheat software, but instead of it helping the player cheat, it actually punishes the cheater instead. (I'll post the link below, if you're curious about watching it. Pretty entertaining if you play PUBG)
Someone in the comments said that they hope the programmer made the cheaters pay in order to obtain the software. Hypothetically if he did require the cheaters to have to buy the software to use it, under the pretense that it could help them cheat in the game, could the cheater technically have legal ground to sue the programmer for false advertisement / fraud?

more info needed.
however, anyone can sue for anything at any time.
the issue will be that a lawyer is not going to take a civil case like this on a contingency.
if you can get the police involved then they can investigate and the DA could prosecute.
