Out of the blue, Blizzard decided to posta not-so-friendly reminderthatDiablo IIIcheaters will be caught and banned, as the studio readies itself to purge the criminal element. That always-online requirement means they’re watching you, and they know all the dirty little things you did.
“If aDiablo IIIplayer is found to be cheating or using hacks, bots, or modifications in any form, then as outlined in theDiablo III end user license agreement, that player can be permanently banned from the game,” warned Blizzard. “This means that the player will be permanently unable to log in to Battle.net® to play Diablo III with his or her account.
“PlayingDiablo IIIlegitimately means playing with an unaltered game client. Doing otherwise violates our policies for Battle.net andDiablo III, and it goes against the spirit of fair play that all of our games are based on. We strongly recommend that you avoid using any hacks, cheats, bots, or exploits. Suspensions and bans of players that have used or start using cheats and hacks will begin in the near future.”
Someone sounds grumpy. It also sounds likeDiablo III‘s userbase is going to get a heck of a lot lighter in the near future. Let us prepare for the great ban rampage, and the torrent of rage that shall inevitably follow.
