Blizzard Bans, Sues Hackers
It seems that Blizzard doesn’t take kindly to cheaters. The developer of StarCraft II and World of WarCraft recently banned 5000 users for using hacks, and now theyare targeting the developers of these cheating tools. The three individuals targeted were not named in the suit, but two are apparently of Canadian origin and one lives in Peru.
In its suit, Blizzard states: “Just days after the release of Starcraft II, Defendants already had developed, marketed, and distributed to the public a variety of hacks and cheats designed to modify (and in fact destroy) the Starcraft II online game experience. In fact, on the very day that Starcraft II was released, representatives of the hacks Web site advised members of the public that our staff is already planning new releases for this game.”
Exactly what will happen to these individuals should a court find them guilty is unclear, but Blizzard is definitely taking the matter very seriously.
