If you didn’t already get your banhammer schadenfreude<\/a> quota filled today (and let’s be honest, that’s simply not possible), here’s another story to warm the blackened bit of coal where your heart should be – Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley has publicly outed and banned a “scumbag” Planetside 2 cheater on Twitter, so everybody on the planet knows he’s a total lamer.<\/p>\n

“Haruhi at artificialaiming.com was just banned,” Smedley announced<\/a>. “All 3 of his accounts. Goodbye you scumbag. Find a new hobby or get good at the game.”<\/p>\n

Buuuuuuurn<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Haruhi is an admin at Artificial Aiming, a site that sells hacks for a number of online multiplayer games including Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Counter-Strike, making him not just a scumbag cheater but a scumbag businessman too. He’s not the only person cheating at Planetside 2, of course, but Sony’s team apparently is on the job.<\/p>\n

“Those of you using aimbots are being hunted down and banned,\u201d Smedley added. \u201cRemember to use \/report. People are being banned left and right.\u201d<\/p>\n

You’ve been warned, etc. Not that it ever stops anybody<\/a>, but, you know.<\/p>\n
