My question would be what are the actual laws that the cheat makers have broken, at best they violated the ToS of the game. The arguement would be similar then with lockpicking tools if a company created a lockpick that was specifically designed to use against the locks that are manufactured by the by some specific brand.

It's my understanding that they're being charged with laws that are same as hacking a company server. I'm sure Chinese law works different than Westerners are used to.

In the UK, the computer misuse act is extremely broad and in theory covers a huge amount of stuff. I’m not familiar with the equivalent rules in china.
