Every time Blizzard does this I smile.
I suspect secondary intentions with all these account closings and bans, but as a fog of war worshiper, I am celebrating. Notice that the vast majority are from Starcraft.

More details at my favorite site ~

closing accounts ain't gonna do shit though, except give us knowledge of who is hacking i suppose. what they need to do is ban their cd-keys or something.

I was so happy when i saw that after that thread where guys was complaining about his account getting reseted for nothing... feels like squashing those kitchen bugs.

And man when will they take some more agressive action? its like third time they close quater a mil accounts and yet no cdkey bans, only for war3... i mean if people who are that obsessed with game that they hack sure will buy another copy, averaging $10 for 1 thats at least four times of revenue than the war3 suckers who got their cdkeys banned.

NoNameLoser ~ they are afraid of public reaction ~ nothing scarier than hordes of angry 13 year olds ~ PHEAR!

I wonder how they "tie accounts and cd keys to the use of a hack or cheat program" and if this isn't just some kind of scam to scare hackers.

sure its a scam, after retarting down brood war battle net and its still more popular that warcraft, blizzard has no other choice but to ban everyone under hack accusations untill they switch to more expensive, shitty game. The account selection is done strating from people who have names that have meaning to a monkey picking small papers with account names from a huge dark jar, and doing it 200,000 times a month for five bananas a day. They though about moving to the account lottery to China to save even more on spendings, look at their wages for hells sake, but soon found out that koalas are not as efficient as monkeys; so you better respect your predecessors or you might be next.

291,000 probably includes bots
and its not ridiculous because hackers probably have tons of accounts
theyre also not banning cd-keys in starcraft like they are doing for war3
so that means the hackers can make new accounts every time

Still fun to see who has their account purged. And the excuses they make. My fav so far: "I sold my account on ebay."

closing accounts does jack. It takes 5 seconds to make a new one. Most people have 10, or make a new one everyday anyway.

Blizzard needs to start blocking keys, tons of keys
