StarCraft II Cheaters Banned by Blizzard Once More

StarCraft II cheaters have been targeted by Blizzard once more, after the company banned and suspended the accounts for many gamers that used cheats or cheating programs, either in the single-player or the multiplayer modes of the real time strategy title.

Blizzard enforced a pretty severe policy for StarCraft II, in order to keep people from cheating or breaking the game and its online component, Battle.net, with unauthorized programs.

This resulted in a massive series of bans and suspensions a few months ago, and now Blizzard is at it again, as it seems that players still haven't learned their lesson.

"We recently issued a new round of account suspensions and bans to StarCraft II players who were in violation of the Battle.net Terms of Use for cheating and/or using hack programs while playing", a statement from Blizzard reads.

"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. As always, 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."

As usual, Blizzard recommends players from not using programs like game trainers in order to hack the single-player portion of the game, and, if it wasn't obvious, to stop using exploits or other hacking programs to gain an unfair advantage in the multiplayer modes of StarCraft II.

If you really want to have fun in the single-player by using some cheats, just use the ones incorporated in the game by Blizzard, and don't resort to illegal programs, which, as you can see by the actions taken by the game developer, result in bans or suspensions.

Expect more such actions from Blizzard in the future, if StarCraft II players won't stop from trying to hack the game.
