Battle.net Users Banned - Blizzard

In a massive crackdown on breaking one of the Battle.net cardinal rules: "Thall shalt not use third-party hacks", Blizzard has suspended some 350,000 StarCraft and Diablo 2 accounts.

As part of our continued effort to ensure a fair and fun online experience for all Battle.net players, we have expanded our efforts to remove cheaters from StarCraft and Diablo II.

As a reminder, we reserve the right to close the accounts and ban the CD keys of players who are caught cheating on Battle.net. Cheating ruins the game experience for legitimate players, and we will not tolerate it.

Blizzard also recently took a few WoW players behind closed doors to give them an equally stern talking to about cheating. Looks as though anyone not willing to accept that Blizzard arguably create the most balanced gameplay in the gaming universe is definitely going to cop it.

lol! Blizzard obviously needed more money, so they go and ban the cd keys of 350,000 players, then they just go out and spend like 40 bucks on a new CD key! Cha-Ching!
