Ah you have to love this PC gaming platform. Put thousands into a PC only to play online games with cheaters all over the place. Ah well be happy that a few companies actually give a shit and ban people.

It depends on what they mean by cheating.

Cheating when playing against another player, then yes, ban them, but if they are just playing single player, i don't see an issue with it.

Personally i have played it, got bored of the constant rushing and moved on to other games, but i do understand multiplayer cheating being unacceptable, but blizzard is just going overboard banning players cheating in single player only.

Ban from the game?

wake up people that is not the solution. If they can monitor who is cheating then they can stop a game from progressing. They can also stop the cheats from working if they are that concerned(they are not). Banning them from the entire game is just an insidious
way of profiting out of those who buy the game again. Its also cheating those who cheat.. two wrongs don't make right at all.

The only good thing this will do is hopefully get those who cheated even if just to see what it was like a lesson in not buying shit from scumbag companies like blizztard ever again.

"but blizzard is just going overboard banning players cheating in single player only."

WAY beyond overboard, this is problem when you fund games that suddenly live as client on your machine and don't really belong to you at all, you belong to them! As they get away with checking your machine and monitoring you as you agreed to their stupid licenses and fail game design.

Oh Koogle.. yes it's all a conspiracy. Life is a conspiracy.. come on man, get it together and get out of the closet once in a while man. Get a tan, work it with your other hand or just do something man...

Blizzard should only get compliments for banning. PC has been and always will be filled with idiots. Banning left and right can only be good for the PC crowd and even if you are right Koogle about having to go out and buy another PC copy.. well that adds to units sold and makes PC look better, no?? so why are you moaning..? I think you just like to moan..

probably because koogle expects every game to be free, bug free, and totally awesomely fun....but you know, if you like a game that he doesn't, that means the game sucks!

Koogle just pirates all his stuff, and from the sounds of it, probably is going to have his sc2 account banned, the one game he actually had to buy because he couldn't hack it.
