Blizzard banning people for cheating in SC2 campaign

[Vyk]

Going to extremes always makes a good example and completely supports and defends your argument in the event that you, yourself, cannot do so. If a company is known for banning people who cheat, setting aside the right versus wrong argument, why would you tempt fate and do it anyway? I have absolutely no sympathy for the person the article is about because, in his own words, he was prepared for it to happen and did it anyway.

Blizzard can do whatever they want with their own game. They are not forcing you to buy it, play it, or cheat while doing either of them. All of these are personal choices. If they want to hurt their public image, they can go ahead and do that. Clearly they are not hurting financially from decisions like these.

PS: Car companies cannot take back the cars you purchase because they have no way to physically monitor it, in the same vein as Blizzard can with their respective franchises. They also cannot ban or sue you for scratching a disc for the same exact reason. Stop using silly and ignorant examples an in attempt to support your already poor argument.

No, I totally agree. But the caricature of the argument is quite amusing. As I said, I don't even buy Blizzard games. So their position on altering them really doesn't affect them. But I agree that people should be able to do what they want with a game once its purchased, as long as it doesn't impede on other's rights to enjoy the game themselves. Embellishing a point is merely for humorous/dramatic emphasis. I'm not trying to win any debate
