After months of being warned that they will be banned from the game, some players chose to keep cheating in “Overwatch.” As a result, when Blizzard finally dropped the ban hammer recently, cheaters were dispelled from the game like flies. Now, they are complaining in droves on internet forums, with many even contemplating filing a lawsuit against Blizzard for banning them.
Blizzard has been telling cheaters since “Overwatch” first launched that they were going to get banned, with some cases being permanent if they didn’t stop. The company did just that recently, and as Kotaku reported, the whining has been magnificent. This is actually the most recent wave of bans that Blizzard has done. The first one was done back in June, with cheaters getting kicked off the game en masse.
This time, the players who were targeted were using cheats called “triggerbots” and “aimbots. The former allows cheaters to shoot as soon as the crosshairs land on the enemies while the latter allows for better accuracy. When combined, the bots result in performance that would have been impossible for normal humans to compete with.
As a result of the ban, cheaters took to Reddit to complain about what they perceived was unfair treatment, Gamesradar notes. The site included some snippets of the posts that cheaters made.
“I suppose it wouldn't hurt to form a union against Blizzard and sue them somehow?” one user writes. “How can they detect these cheats unless they are using some trojan, which is illegal.”
"I deserve another chance if I spent extra to buy the pre-order edition," another posted.
This is just the most recent example of Blizzard’s hardline position against cheating of any kind. In one instance, the company actually filed a lawsuit against a cheat engine seller that was based in Germany. This proves that the makers of Overwatch are not afraid of angering anyone, be they individual players or other companies when it comes to maintaining a fair and balanced gaming experience.
