Blizzard have decided to take several cheat authors to court, claiming that the three involved have violated the terms of Starcraft 2’s EULA and infringed on copyright by creating and distributing a cheat application. To fill you in, last week Blizzard banned 5000 people who had used this application. This move prompted outrage from the users who claimed that they had only used the application for the single player portions of the game. Blizzard maintains that the unauthorised hacks impact the multiplayer portion of the game

Blizzard, like their creation Arthas, are turning into an evil antagonist.

SA law (old part): Ban from servers permanently
SA law (new part): suspend for 10 years
US law: Sue for $10 million
I dont see the problem in why blizzard bans them. I dont however see why they are sueing them. They cant gain anything from it?

Re: Blizzard starts court action against SC2 hackers
They're sueing the people who made the actual hack, not those who used it.

Re: Blizzard starts court action against SC2 hackers
It does but when you use them achievements get disabled. These trainers bypass that bit and allow you to unlock all single player achievements, something Blizzard does not like they say you have to earn the right for those achievements not cheat for them.

Re: Blizzard starts court action against SC2 hackers
In that case its understandable unless all that blizzard does is mark those accounts as unable to partake in achievements and disable everything.Its almost like that story with the guy who made 2 battlefield accounts and simply shot himself over and over.
Or maybe this gives insentive to go back to non-global single player

It is pretty simple. you cheat, you die. I like to see cheaters get banned, and there is quite a few. Guess there is a lot of losers out there.

Re: Blizzard starts court action against SC2 hackers
They are sueing the hackers. What about those that hack and sell WoW gold? That's a bigger problem than Starcraft 2.
