Last Month, Blizzard Entertainment gave a warning to all StarCraft II players after a prominent amount of cheating in the Sci-Fi RTS game which read:
If a StarCraft II player is found to be cheating or using hacks or modifications in any form, then as outlined in our end user license agreement, that player can be permanently banned from the game. This means that the player will be permanently unable to log in to Battle.net to play StarCraft II with his or her account.
This was no empty threat from Blizzard it seems as the company have cracked down on over 5,000 accounts for violating the user license agreement on Battle.net. Blizzard made an announcement regarding the bans and cheating by saying:
In addition to undermining the spirit of fair competition that's essential to play on Battle.net, cheating and hacking can lead to stability and performance issues with the service. Maintaining a stable, safe, and secure online-gaming experience for legitimate players is a top priority for us, and we'll be continuing to keep watch on Battle.net and take action as needed.
If you are interested in more information regarding the bans, make sure to check Battle.net. Are you a StarCraft II player that has had many cheating issues? Leave your thoughts below.
