    Good riddance by Blizzard, cheaters shouldn't be allowed in the game especially someone who built something as big as this. Hopefully they'll get rid of the rest of the hackers as well.

    What types of cheats were being used in Overwatch? When I first began MMOs, I thought any type of cheat was reprehensible. Cheats don't really violate my sense of morality anymore. They can be frustrating for legitimate players, but is there really any harm done?

    This isn't news, and it isn't a cheat, it is a bot. Blizzard has been taking this particular bot developer to court for years now and losing. I'm actually kind of tired of hearing about it.

    I think for multiplayer games this can be a big problem so I don't blame them for taking action. It's different from single player games where the only one affected is the player doing the cheats but when others are affected by it then it needs to be taken out immediately.

    It is irritating to see old news reported without all the facts. The fact that Blizzard has brought cases against Bossland for other games and lost big was left out. This clearly just an opinion piece because there is a clear bias.

    The step of bringing litigation against a bot creator looks as if it has been welcome news for it's fanbase. Maybe this step is just to appease a majority of their subscribers. If they have repeatedly lost prior actions against bot creators, Blizzard is either genuinely struggling for a victory, or its a public relations move.

    They continue to lose because they try to justify unlawful actions in defense against cheating. They also exaggerate claims in court along with making accusations for things that have nothing to do with botting.
