Tecmo is suing a game site for creating programs that help hack a slew of Xbox games including Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive. The suit names the site administrators and hints at more individuals being named down the line. The actual hacks are apparently changes to the graphics and play in the game, something that Tecmo has never found amusing.

We are known for being a technological leader in the video game industry, and we clearly support and respect the innovations which push the boundaries of gaming. However, we believe it is our duty to uphold the integrity of our work. Hacking of this kind will not be tolerated and we intend to take all necessary measures to protect our intellectual property.

They won t share the name of the site, in their press release at least, because they don t want to glorify these guys.
