Last week, an internet denizen going by the name “gm0ney” claimed that Blizzard had given him a 14 day suspension for using a third-party trainer in the single player component of the game. He claimed he had never played a StarCraft II multiplayer game.<\/p>\n
According to gm0ney, Blizzard sent him this notification explaining why his account was suspended:<\/em><\/p>\n “Offense: Terms of Use Violation – Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized cheat programs (‘hacks’).”<\/em><\/p>\n Furthermore, he claims that Blizzard stated that “while single-player games only appear to be you and a computer at first, your achievements and gamer score also carries weight and prestige for your online play.” <\/em>This seems like a fair enough explanation. But, what if you don’t care about “online prestige” or in-game achievements? Shouldn’t you be allowed to play the single player game as you please? Well, you can’t.<\/p>\n
