Blizzard Bans 350,000 Dirty, Cheating Battle.netters

Kotaku writes: "Microsoft isn't the only one swinging the account crushing banhammer just before the holiday rush. Blizzard has suspended an impressive 350,000 Battle.net accounts identified as using "third-party hacks" in both StarCraft and Diablo II."

Good. I hate PC online play because it seems everyone knows how to cheat.

Endorphin6059d ago

This was the reason why I completely stop playing Starcraft a few months ago, hacking seemed like a regular thing for everyone. i just couldn't stand it anymore, you're working hard trying to do good and the weakling on the other side is hacking his way to victory. I hope that they carry this on to SC 2.

isnt this like 10 years too late?

kooplar6059d ago

10 years and going of service to the community

About time they did something, its a shame when you have to cheat at a game it takes the fun out of it.

L Ronald Hubbard6059d ago

Too bad, banning these idiots won't stop the hacking.

I remember the days when PenguinPlug owned everyone that hacked. Those were the days.

FrankDaTank6059d ago

This just in. Blizzard bans all remaining supporters of Diablo and Starcraft after they are found to be bots.

I need another beer.

Finally some love for diablo 3, I completely agree with its placing! Very nice coop on the ps3 back in the day, but solo was a good grind as well, very enjoyable.

The only thing that irked me was buying the complete or ultimate edition or whatever and suddenly introducing a dlc that's not included.

Trash article. No way you should be listing the original as third beat.

Also Immortal should have been left off. It's a whale machine not a game.

Pergele68d ago

Diablo 3 > Diablo 2. I tried D2 after playing D3 many times and didn't like that nearly as much as 3.

anast68d ago

Diablo 2
Diablo 1

After this Diablo died.

Was aware the iconic Starcaft IP was jumping to South Korea ....

jznrpg76d ago

Weird MS is letting go of a good IP. I don’t mind it but hopefully the best dev wins and I’m not sure who that is outbid those.

Sonyslave376d ago (Edited 76d ago )

What they are bidding for are exclusive rights to develop the IP. Microsoft/blizzard is essentially licensing it out to the highest bidder, not selling the IP.

I wonder if we'll see Starcraft Ghost come out of this. And if we do, I wonder if it'll be a free-to-play gacha game.

goken76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Given the potential developers, looks inevitable there will be free to play gacha versions. But given south korea’s love for starcraft there would be one that is inline with starcraft 1&2.
Might want to expect some sort of backdoor cheat that only south koreans know of lol 🤣

Profchaos76d ago

Nah that's long since dead and gone it's only good is a leaked Dev build
