I disagree with only banning a single cd key, and not the entire account.
Pretty much every Blizzard game. except WoW as far as I know, becomes overrun by hacks. D2 is fueled by hacks and bots, maphacking in War3 and SC:BW has always and will always be a problem. If people have universal accounts they actually care about, then it will actually deter them from hacking out of fear from "losing it all."
What happens when someone is currently banned in let's say d2? They spend $5 and get a new cd key and start botting again...
I think it should be like this:
First offense: 1 week ban from the game, warning issued.
Second offense: 1 month ban on all games, HACKER label applied to account for all to see
Third offense: You can no longer play games online, all stats are wiped. WoW account is removed. All your keys become voided for multiplayer and cannot be transferred.
I've never heard of someone getting banned for using a 3rd party program that wasn't specifically a hack aside from people in WoW using macros.

I've got a better system.

Second offense: A group of hairy burly men invade your home and rape you.
Third offense: Pictures of said rape are posted on the blizzard website in a weekly featurette.

There a few things in the new game management that are annoying imo..
First, you have to choose a language for the game, but later on you are fixed into the language you chose...
Second, some cool stuff isn't ready to download, like WC2 and D1, and the Linux version of SC... I mean, you can even download the Mac version, whats about with the Linux one?
Quite sad to me, but in the other hand they still build it up at the moment.
Is there even an official Linux version? I don't believe I've ever heard of that.
Diablo1 may never be downloadable (who knows though) because it didn't have a CD-Key, and neither did War2 from what I remember. Is War2BNE downloadable? I don't have a version to check.

When you add games there's a list of what's supported. I don't think War2BNE was in there.

I already like it better than Steam. Thank you Blizz!

ahhh.. to bad...
but we know they will go out 
|
I opted in for the beta, I hope they pick me. Just incase I added all my blizzard games I own (which is pretty much all of them). I hope it helps my odds in getting selected for the beta.
The one nice thing is now I can download SC again. My cat destroyed my Starcraft CD, True story! I had this big heavy glass jar full of change, cat knocked it over with my SC CD (and cats are suppose to not be clumsy), somehow my CD ended up on the bottom of this pile of broken glass and change with this nice crack in the CD  .

um what do you think makes the company more money?
1. Someone rebuying the game to play again with the new CD key and continuing to pay monthly wow payments.
or
2. Someone saying, "fuck blizzard! I can't play any of my games anymore, time to go play Halo or something."

People on the Bnet forums are freaking out over the beta keys. Apparently BlizzCon goers can now confirm their beta keys through e-mail. Can anyone here test this out?
