[s]battlenet[/s]Blizzard have today confirmed the removal of another 200,000 Starcraft accounts. Why? Blizzard say that they are "keeping with our aggressive stance against hacks and cheats". This is the 2nd time such a high number of accounts have been closed in recent months. Last time, on September 30th 2003, 276,000 accounts were closed due to maphack and third party programs. If any account is closed multiple times on a certain CD-Key, this action "will result in the permanent removal of the respective copy of StarCraft" (The Battle.net Team). Also, 7,000 Warcraft 3 accounts were closed during the day for similiar reasons.
