Those are obviously infringing copyright.
Not talking about the software "Cheat Engine"
The solution is not "site gets taken entirely down" because of that. The solution is remove the offending files because other than that, there's nothing illegal about that section. I don't support the copyright infringing files at all.

I also think it's time to lock this thread.
There is no justification for their extraneous actions. I've never once, in this thread, said that they weren't right about demanding the infringing files be removed. That's not all they're demanding.
They demand that the site goes down, that Cheat Engine stops distribution, and because their Terms of Service say so, you can't discuss hacking on a website that hasn't even agreed to them.
