One of the largest cheat communities got a letter from Blizzard. The result? The shutdown of services.


Blizzard apparently took a cue from Riot, which, instead of improving its already good anti-cheat, is simply fixing the problem in other ways. Riot got rid of League of Legends cheats with letters and lawsuits for many millions.
