Way to go Blizzard.

If that's true, is awesome to see how fast blizzard is going downhill.

Just because of this i would love blizzard to go bankruptcy. I love diablo and also love to use linux. And have been playing diablo 2 on linux for long time. But this is f****d.

Ahem

"Playing the game on Linux, although not officially supported, will not get you banned – cheating will."

I think the OP of that thread is just using it as an excuse.

FAIL, FAIL, FAIL,

WINE is like cheat machine ?
I didn't know.

Couple of cheaters whine and try to put the blame on Blizzard.
(Other WINE users stated that they had no such problems whatsoever.)

lol

Someone posted in the thread, that the OP was the only one who claimed to have been banned. He used quotes and names from other people, but they haven't posted. So essentially we only know for sure that one person has been banned.
I'm willing to believe that Blizzard is being a dick about this, I'd just like to see more evidence before I condemn them out of hand. You know, like people claim they're doing to players.

As I know, you can't play any multi-player game with anti-cheat system using WINE.

Edit: Oh, I just read this

nope.avi

Then there is this.. OP of that thread cheated IMO.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

strokes his copy of tl2 waiting to be released

Haha, I run my Windows through a VM in Linux! Lets see them try to figure that out!

I don't use Linux.

LOL cheaters

Wait, wait, wait... So what that dude is saying is that Linux users got banned from D3 but he doesn't have an actual proof? Well, that means that another cheater is just trying to get through this and get rid of his ban. There are no information from any other player only from that one dude who "quoted" someones messages. That's just sad how one little cheater can whine about nothing...

Seems fair to me

never understood why people try to game in linux in the 1st place

Blizzard should really address this.

free OS, free software, mostly more advanced users.. lets call them cheaters! People try to play games in linux coz they dont wanna use crappy windows? Its obvious when ur using win or linux or w/e as ur main OS u'd wanna do everything in it.. It's like saying why would you use linux to watch porn?

Oh for gods sake people, can we seriously just hop off of the "Fuck Blizzard" bandwagon here?

You CAN run Diablo III through Wine, without it getting picked up as cheating. The reason that guy got picked up as cheating, WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE HE WAS CHEATING.

Okay, only a FEW members who use Linux, have been banned for cheating. THERE ARE PLENTY OTHERS, WHO USE WINE, WHO ARE NOT BANNED. They have had plenty of time to be banned in this, but they have not been. Whatever they picked up as cheating, it wasn't wine.

The headline may as well be Windows users permanently banned from Diablo III. Because y'know, I'm sure there are some people who were playing Diablo III on windows, and they were permanently banned, IT'S OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY WERE ON WINDOWS, RIGHT?!?!

I'm not even a fan of blizzard, but what I'm saying is, LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP, PEOPLE. I'm not the first one to be explaining this by far, so why are you people still posting that sorta shit? Quite a few people have already explained this, that it does not seem to be LINUX causing this, but the fact they are cheaters.

Why play games on Linux anyway's, I thought it was garbage for games.

bahahahahahaha. That's why you game on a PC, program on a linux, and if you're mentally ill use a Mac.
