Plus, name one bad Blizzard game since 2000 or one that didn't sell millions of copies.
(Hell, even the Lost Vikings were great)
Seriously, if that's all the bad Blizzard has done so far, they are probably one of the best companies around.

Really? I find this story hilarious, cheater gets banned and then whines about it. This has happened many times in the past on Xbox Live. This is not unique or really even interesting. It's in the terms of use for the software so it's completely legal.
P.S. I predict that anyone who posts here claiming they will boycott Blizzard will be the first to buy the next Starcraft 2 episode. Just like the Left 4 Dead posers.

Eh, I'll pass. I don't like some of the maneuvers they've pulled, but this isn't something worthy of a boycott, in my opinion. Besides, why even bother cheating? Isn't it more satisfying to beat the game on your own? (Genuine question, by the way; I'm not being sarcastic.)
If the players NEED to cheat, use the ingame ones. They're unbalancing the game using third party software to get a bunch of achievements that affect the multi-player portion. Which ANNOYS PEOPLE TO SHIT.astrav1 said:
Sorry, but Blizzard still has my dollar.
Third party software. Blizzard aren't THAT thick. Thus, they were unbalancing the game by unlocking a bunch of achievements, which affects multiplayer.NaziKitty said:

Whether you agree with it or not is not what matters here. It's the fact that they clearly stated that cheating of any kind would get you banned, so people who got caught have no right to complain, it was their own fault.Fr said:
It's not the rule they hate, it's the fact they got caught and are now paying for it. If Blizzard had put that rule in the user agreement, but didn't enforce it, these same cheaters wouldn't be saying anything.
We've been over this in another thread before.
1.) They were trying to cheat the singleplayer game in order to get multiplayer prestige, i.e. achievements and the rare character portraits.
2.) Blizzard banned them from accessing the multiplayer portion of the game (as it has every right to do) as well as from getting any of those portraits, etc.
3.) They still have access to the full single-player game while playing as guest, they just can't play the multiplayer, which they were trying to game anyway.
Of all the things to get angry about, you're getting angry about people cheating? Really?
By all means, feel free to support - or refuse to support - any company you choose. But this is such a silly little thing to get angry over.

Oh, then I have no problem with what they're doing.lacktheknack said:
Sure, achievements don't mean that much, but people are still messing with their creation.
Besides, you have an invulnerability cheat and a bunch of others...Why would you need any more?
Yes, IF that is what they were being banned for.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
But it's not.
Please people, can we actually learn the details before we start complaining? Is it really too much to ask that of everybody here?
I think this is a good argument for keeping single-player games offline and keeping the single- and mult-player components of a game properly firewalled from one another, and we should probably strongly urge all game companies to do so.
It's not a good reason to boycott Blizzard. If, as stated, the single-player game has an effect on how the player is presented to the multiplayer community, Blizzard has an interest in maintaining the integrity of that presentation.
Though that should probably have been more explicitly stated from the outset, rather than in some dark corner of the EULA, I'll grant.
