Blizzard recently went on a tirade of how they feel there was a misunderstanding when it came to banning players for sc2 single player. The big problem was based on a response one player had about his banning stating that he was banned on manipulating his single player game because it allowed him to get achievements he wouldnt have normally been able to do. Well blizzard in a nutshell made a post stating that they only banned players in single player games that where using hacks that where usable in multi players games as well. So if you where using a map hack that works on online games then it could of been detected and you would have been banned. Also blizzard stated that they give players the ability to use single player cheats already in the game.

| “Blizzard Entertainment is not banning StarCraft II players just for using single-player cheats. There’s been some confusion in the last couple of days about the suspensions and bans meted out to players caught cheating in StarCraft II. It’s important to point out first, that many of the 3rd-party hacks and cheats developed for StarCraft II contain both single- and multiplayer functionality. In order to protect the integrity of multiplayer competition, we are actively detecting cheat programs used in multiplayer modes whether there are human opponents or not.
That said, players who opt to use any type of 3rd party hacks do so at their own risk — there are already built-in cheat codes for StarCraft II single-player that can be used safely. Blizzard Entertainment has always taken cheating seriously and will continue to aggressively crackdown on players who cheat in our games.” |
