"Lomps Court Case #1" is now cited in three subsequent lawsuits involving cheat developers in fighting games and FPS titles. The key takeaways for lawyers and developers:
Legal scholars compare it to the famous MDY Industries v. Blizzard (2008) but with sharper teeth. Unlike MDY (which involved farming bots), Lomps’ case directly impacted real-time competitive integrity.
The verdict was a win for Lomps, but he didn't get his money. Elite Pain vanished, rebranded to “Phantom Ache” within 72 hours. The judgment was a piece of paper. Lomps needed a technical solution.
This is the “mega patched” component.
Immediately following the trial, the original game developer (which had remained neutral during the lawsuit) stepped in. Seeing the legal chaos, they decided to exploit the court’s findings. Using Lomps’ testimony as a roadmap of exploits, the developer released Update 5.29.1 – colloquially known as “The Mega Patch.” lomps court case 1 elite pain mega patched
The Mega Patch did five unprecedented things:
The community erupted. Legitimate modders were furious. Lomps himself was collateral damage—his mod no longer worked. He had won the war but lost his hobby.
After the Mega Patch ruling, Lomps vanished from public gaming spaces. His Twitch channel was deleted. His Patreon was shut down. However, in March 2026, a brief LinkedIn update showed Lomps working as a “legacy code analyst” for an unnamed cybersecurity firm—provided he does not touch game code.

Elite Pain’s legal team (backed by a shadowy offshore holding company) argued that Lomps had no standing. Their motion to dismiss stated: “Modifying a video game client is itself a violation of the End User License Agreement (EULA). Plaintiff Lomps is an outlaw seeking the court’s protection for his own crimes.”
Judge Darrow rejected this in a blistering Memorandum Opinion on March 2, 2023. She wrote:
“One does not forfeit legal protection against theft and malicious code injection simply because they have previously violated a EULA. The defendants are accused of causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in hardware damage via forced over-voltage states during desync crashes. This is not a petty squabble; it is cyber-vandalism.”
