In an act I wholeheartely applaud, Blizzard has decided to outright commit genocide on massive cheaters throughout the PC gaming community.
282,000 accounts, all of which used either cheats or hacks for their accounts on Battle.net. The majority (263,000) were for Starcraft, with the remaining accounts being deleted from the Warcraft servers.
Talk about the biggest offensive against online cheaters yet, huh? But wait! There's more!
Blizzard also banned 1,100 CD Keys for Warcraft 3, and suspended 8,000 accounts from Ladder Play for a month.
Blizzard also stated they will be monitoring things on Battle.Net as carefully as if they were in an Orwellian Society. Those who start or continue to offend will be banned as well.
So not to all you who can't play a game without being a powertripping Gygaxian Munchkin, don't go to Battle.net because they don't want your kind there!
