Diablo III Bans

The Diablo III Website announces Blizzard has recently handed out a bunch of bans to Diablo III players for violating the terms of service for Blizzard's action/RPG sequel. They don't specify how many accounts are barred due to this, but they do offer more details on why: "In each of these cases players used a hack program for exploitive purposes, for example to zoom out their game view and kill monsters that were beyond the normal range at which AI is triggered. As we do with all Blizzard games, we will continue to monitor Diablo III for cheating and take action as needed." They outline various actions that could trigger such discipline so players can make sure they are keeping their noses clean. On a related note, Blend Games continues their criticism of the game by rounding up reports of Linux users who claim they have been banned after playing the game through WINE, unmoved by Blizzard's comments that they cannot guarantee that users of an unsupported operating system may be incorrectly tagged as hackers.

it is so easy to dual boot a system, why in the world would anyone try to play Diablo III through vine. Stupid is as stupid does.
Dual boot into what? The OS I don't own? Pot, kettle.

(Linux is the only OS on my machine at home. I only buy games that are known to run well in WINE (eg Guild Wars 2, Drox Operative, Borderlands) and accept the risk that they may occasionally stop working due to publisher decisions (eg Borderlands DLC) or technical issues (GW2 without the -dx9single flag). The fact of the matter is there are enough good games that I have the luxury to choose those that don't incur the one-time OS tax.)

(full disclosure: I haven't played nor will I probably ever play Diablo III)
