You know, this seems to have been at the heart of the argument for these people being banned, but I have to wonder if it's necessarily true in all of the cases. I looked into what the hacks allow you to do and it seems as though it's more than what's included in the in game cheats from what I recall. How are we to say that the people using them weren't just using them so they could have more control over the game to screw around with it as they pleased? Now I'm not saying that some weren't out to achievement whore, but we can't necessarily say that was true of everyone. I mean, let's say for example that I had used some of these hacks to play around with the game a bit and got achievements as a byproduct. I can honestly say I wouldn't have been doing it for the achievements considering I have an undying hatred of them.
And let's keep in mind that Blizzard's policy isn't just limited to cheating either. They don't want people doing anything to modify the game, which presumably includes modding it. So how would Oblivion and Fallout 3 fans feel if Bethesda started lording over them in this manner? Actually, they'd probably feel like they bought the game on a console.![]()
