[Cinemablend] Blizzard Still Auto-Banning Linux Users In Diablo 3

After taking a gulp of some patented Diablo III Haterade™, it was time to hit the ax-grinding button and grind some grief against Blizzard, old-school style.

Good one, Blizzard.

I was thinking the same thing. I miss the company that put out The Lost Viking's. I don't know what they are thinking with this kung-fu Panda Pokemon crap they have going on now... I haven't touched a blizzard title in ages.

Not at all.

Maxis is falling out of my favor as well.

I don't understand why they are hating on Linux users, or most game developers for that matter. The only reason I don't use a Linux distro as my main OS is because its a pain in the ass to set games up through wine (from my experience, only got WoW to work without sound =\). Windows and iOS is terrible in comparison to the various Linux setups. I understand that it is open source, but they should be able to figure something out so that everyone is happy.

I definitely agree with a lot of people who say Blizzard is way past its prime. Diablo II was their last truly amazing title in my book.

I am not sure what to believe here because Blizzard had said that they were NOT banning anyone just for using WINE and that all the Linux users banned were actually doing ban worthy things.

So does anyone have definitive proof? Because one thing I have learned is that you can never trust that a banned person "got banned for nothing, I didn't do anything!"

Well that was not made by the Blizzard that exists today. Those people are gone and the team that worked on Diablo III is a different team.

The Diablo II guys are mostly at Runic now and if you want a great ARPG made by people who understand the genre and are not looking to cash out with a RMAH then you should check out Torchlight 2.

The Pandaren race has been in Warcraft lore since Warcraft 3. LONG before Kung-Fu Panda. Don't know where you're getting Pokemon from.
