A Discord user with the username Panfyero has posted a message on behalf of the unnamed cheat provider they work with announcing that subscriptions to the provider's Battlefield 2042 cheat packages are being discontinued on their store. This decision might look like a victory for Electronic Arts at first, simply the reason for stopping the cheats is really pretty damning.

"The reason for this decision is the ongoing operation outcome of the game which affects cheat and that most people don't use their subscription anymore since the game is dying."

This announcement follows the news that Activision is suing EngineOwning over its Phone call of Duty cheats. EngineOwning also offers subscriptions to cheats for a range of Battlefield games, but those for Battleground 2042 are currently missing, so it seems probable that Panfyero is a representative of EngineOwning. Either that or more than one crook provider is abandoning Battlefield 2042.
