Poll: It's really time to stop supporting Blizzard

[jef91]

It's iaw the EULA, therefore everyone at Blizzard except their legal department shouldn't be blamed.

 

[TheTim]

because of warcraft 3, i will never ever turn my back on blizzard.

 

[Ertol]

Ok I agree maybe they shouldn't have banned them, but they had full legal right to do so. If Blizz dosen't want people using third party add-ons in single player for SC2, I'm pretty sure you signed a contract user agreement saying you wouldn't.

Besides, Blizz built in a lot of cheats into the game. I'm not exactly sure what the third party ones accomplish, but the ones blizz already has are pretty cool. If I want to cheat I do it because its a lot of fun to get a billion marines and crush some poor zerg camp...why use cheats from a third party when there are already cheats there? (That's a questions, not sure why people did it)

Besides OP, overreact much? It's not like they banned everyone from SC2 and shut it down forever for this...seriously.

One of the comments in that article brings up a good point.

"this is really very sad. its like corporate paranoia. when we use cheats and trainers playing single player campaign against ai...that's our business. it helps enhance our gaming experience and we r not doing anything illegal. we pay good money for what should rightfully be ours...our gaming experience and we should be free to enhance that experience in any way we choose provided its not online-multiplayer and not illegal and isn't copyright infringement. i support CH in this whole-heartedly."

If you're cheating in an off-line match against AI bots with no damage to human players, than banning you for this is downright bogus.

The person who believes it is his own business willingly signed an EULA giving Blizzard the right to ban him.

 

[JWAN]

well cheating in single player can be a way to test your cheating abilities in multiplayer. Thats a bit of a stretch though...

 

[Worgen]

Ill get behind it but I was already refusing to give them money for anything after they fucked with me over a job

Uhm, it's not blizzard's fault noone read the fucking user agreement forum. Tough luck. their fault, move on

Oh please, everyone knows user agreements are just there to make everything LOOK professional.

I'm gonna guess that you are someone who skips down to the bottom (if you even have to) and clicks accept

 

[Apocalypse Tank]

Nobody reads the damn thing before clicking "I Agree"
Plus, name one bad Blizzard game since 2000 or one that didn't sell millions of copies.
(Hell, even the Lost Vikings were great)

Seriously, if that's all the bad Blizzard has done so far, they are probably one of the best companies around.

 

[Flunk]

Really? I find this story hilarious, cheater gets banned and then whines about it. This has happened many times in the past on Xbox Live. This is not unique or really even interesting. It's in the terms of use for the software so it's completely legal.

P.S. I predict that anyone who posts here claiming they will boycott Blizzard will be the first to buy the next Starcraft 2 episode. Just like the Left 4 Dead posers.

 

[SkyKitty]

I'm a little mixed on this.

Were they banned from using the cheats PUT in the game?

Or banned for using cheats blizzard didn't make?

 

[Flight]

Eh, I'll pass. I don't like some of the maneuvers they've pulled, but this isn't something worthy of a boycott, in my opinion. Besides, why even bother cheating? Isn't it more satisfying to beat the game on your own? (Genuine question, by the way; I'm not being sarcastic.)

Umm, it was a joke.

 

[Kwaren]

Well, I'm buying WoW expansions until they stop coming out no matter what Blizz does. WoW is to good to boycott.

Somewhere in the world, an angry Starcraft fan is shoving a remote control up his ass.

I'm sure you all have seen this by now but for those of you who haven't get a look at what those bastards are trying to get away with now. I'm calling for an escapist wide boycott on everything Blizzard.

Now, WHO'S WITH ME!!!

If the players NEED to cheat, use the ingame ones. They're unbalancing the game using third party software to get a bunch of achievements that affect the multi-player portion. Which ANNOYS PEOPLE TO SHIT.

Sorry, but Blizzard still has my dollar.

i'm sorry if i can read your text sarcasm

 

[pyrosaw]

Why the hell not. I hate WoW, and pretty much every other off there games. I'll make it official.

Third party software. Blizzard aren't THAT thick. Thus, they were unbalancing the game by unlocking a bunch of achievements, which affects multiplayer.
