Blizzard has announced that a new round of account suspensions and bans to StarCraft II players has taken place, affecting those in violation of Battle.net Terms of Use for cheating and/or using hack programs while playing.
A statement on the StarCraft II blog 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.”
Earlier this year Blizzard’s decision to ban or suspend those found to be cheating or using hacks caused a minor player outcry.
While the decision to ban the use of third-party modifications remains slightly controversial, those who have tried their luck and been caught out should by now be fully aware of Blizzard’s zero tolerance on the matter.
