But the question is why the proper legal route isn't the civil system instead of getting law enforcement involved to arrest them.

In the US, I think a company's only route would be a lawsuit, if the only thing going on was game cheating and ToS violation. Though I could be wrong.



Say it went the route you're suggesting, what should the next step be, if the people in question ignore the court's verdict? It the follows the question: how do you know it didn't already go this route?


This already is taken into consideration in the normal US legal process. If you totally ignore it, the judge issues a warrant for asset seizure and/or arrest.

There's no indication in the article that anything like this happened here. But that's not surprising or interesting, because there's no real rule of law or due process in China. The government and anyone in their favor just completely annihilates anyone they deem undesirable.


IANAL but if they previously did bring a lawsuit and the cheaters continued in violation of court orders, the police could be brought in for that.
