Oh good, another reason for the laundry list why I don't feel bad about not picking this game up.

Am I the only one that doesn't see this as a bad thing?
Sorry, I can't hear you from my FLYING METAL BOX!

Blizzard's now suing the guys who made the cheat mods in the first place.

Laws need to be passed to prevent this kind of thing. Software companies have no right to hold people's property hostage like this.

^^^What people do alone with their games shouldn't be anybody's business.
As much as I think it's legitimate to ban multiplayer cheaters, this is just going too far.

I think this relates to an increasingly infuriating gap between consumers and developers over what "ownership" means. Consumers want to "own" a game the same way they "own" a book or a movie—to have it to do whatever they want with it. Developers want them to "own" the limited right to use of a game. (In fact, if the Kindle and Netflix are any indication, business wants consumers to own books and movies the same way they own games.)
