Agreed. And what a strange discount. 10%, maybe. 25% probably. %30 or more, definitely.

You should understand that Steam, all Blizzard games, XBL, PSN and Origin are setup the same way. They have the right to ban you and block access to their "services" for violating their terms. You as a consumer are paying for the right to access those. You do not OWN them. While this may work for the first few people…

because they violated the TOS. Same with any other online service. And it is a service...all of their “games” are now services that you access. You can buy access to that service, but youre required to abide by their rules, or you risk losing access permanently. You have no right to access their service. You have a…

Its called warden. HWID plus IP, plus Battle.net account info. It monitors things running in RAM.

Or maybe you play the game by its rules or you lose your cash.

You think this is isolated to Overwatch? More and more companies are making their games a "service" for this reason.

In the TOS, it states Blizzard doesn’t have to refund a dime.

If its on the same machine/account...then yes. If they each bought their own copy, and are playing with separate accounts on separate devices, then there is a chance they could appeal the ban.

So why not remove their access to the game all together? They cheat, they are banned. Forever...because fuck those people.

No, but Apple, Android, etc can brick your phone for jailbreaking it. They can render it useless. Whether or not they WILL...is up to them.

For anyone whining about the EULA/TOS legality...

Exactly...the game is a service, which has a “wrapper” of a battle.net account around it. Buying the disc isn’t buying the game. Its buying a condition-based access to their service. PSN has the same rules, XBL has similar rules, etc. If you cheat and get banned, you’re done. They don’t have to refund anything (the…

sorry wrong reply-edited.

You can buy Overwatch at Gamestop, Target, Best Buy, and tons of other locations. Same with Diablo, StarCraft, etc. However, you're right, Battle.net has a tos that states you agree to their rules, even just by accessing their site and setting up an account, so whether or not you explicitly agree, you agree anyway by…

yeah I just skip those too. No exclusives for me, and I don’t care one bit.

Yep we certainly one of the top 10. And we have contractors that don’t count as employees that use the rest of the machines. And yes every machine is required to be on our network. We can see exactly how long it’s been since they have connected and if they don’t connect to our network once every 60 days their machine…

FYI we have over 329,000 employees. We have close to 500,000 desktops, laptops, and tablets. On the scan I did this am, just to be sure, we can see over 541,000 active systems in our over 10,000 locations world wide. And yes they agree to the TOS and have no leg to stand on. I’ve got a literal crate full of…

That's a bummer, for those types that find it hard to be alone. And no, people wouldn't come on demand but if they are a friend they visit.

The product sold is the installable version of Overwatch. If you’re banned you can’t play it and you can return it to a store if they offer refunds, it’s written plain as day. Plain as day and fully enforceable in the US, and completely legal. Keep arguing, but I’m blocking you because even though tons of people are…

Now, let’s look at the blizzard Eula/Tos.
