Blizzard sues Starcraft 2 cheat-makers.

It's probably been shut down. Single player campaign is not effected by the anti-cheat rules, just online play. If you are caught hacking or cheating the system in any way in Blizzard's games, you will get banned and can face legal implications.

Serves them right. They want to ruin games for everyone else, they can pay the price. If Nintendo's online system was better, they could do this for cheaters in all of their games. Nintendo WFC games are full of cheaters, and it's annoying to play those games, since you usually always find hackers.

Agreed, why play the game if your going to cheat to make it easier.

SC2 uses a rated battle system online, you start out at the bottom and work your way up through each league as you win games, the higher you are rated, the more likely you are to get selected for tournaments and international competition. Don't like the fact that you are losing? Just cheat and destroy the opponents with ease.

If it did in fact exist, you're likely to be right. However, wouldn't there be some trace? A dead link, or even an external forum topic on the subject with aforementioned dead links? For example, there are many links to RAR parts of pornography videos in other forums. The links are likely to be dead, but their existence could testify to the likelihood that it once operated. It's odd that no such site has been referenced by the corporate gaming press, or those sycophantic blogs like Kotaku.

That is hardly the point here. We should be interested solely in the fact that Blizzard is presently walking on (forgive the pun) thin ice. If no proof of material profit can be established, their case is moot. And who are you to say that using cheat-codes in a game doesn't prove anything? Endless Youtube videos of speed-runs, the possible fun of playing Super Mario Bros. with a moon jump hack; these are just a few of the contradictions in your argument. Can you prove a case in which somebody using cheat-codes has "serious issues"? Before you make such a cavalier blanket statement, at least take the trouble to provide an example to back up your claim, even if it is illusory. In that case, tearing you down will become intellectually stimulating and fun, just like Scrabble.

MEGAMANTROTSKY, they obviously meant in online multiplayer in order to gain an unfair advantage over somebody else.

You know, considering that's the entire damn topic of this news posting.

If he really meant online multiplayer, I apologize. I hung myself upon the words "any video game" and thought it was an attack on cheat-codes in general.
