Ubisoft is taking a step forward to protecting its games from cheaters with its newest acquisition. The company's i3D.net subsidiary has purchased GameBlocks, the company behind the server-side anti-cheat tool FairFight. Ubisoft has already closed the deal but won't disclose how much it spent.

i3D plans to integrate FairFight into the ONE Gaming Hosting Platform that AAA publishers use and expand its cheat detection system's capabilities. The company also intends to support GameBlocks' existing customers.
