Is Blizzard Banning Starcraft II Players For Cheating In Singleplayer?

No, it's 100% Blizzard's fault. RTS games should all have developer installed cheat codes. If Warcraft I had a feature, all RTS should have said feature and there is no excuse not to. Fact is, some people enjoy having unlimited minerals, but putting the AI on a harder difficulty setting, and that MUST be supported. Blizzard should have an easily accesible cheat mode for single player, which while activated, prevents the earning of achievements and gamerscore

I agree that having cheat codes included via developer console can be fun but they didn't include those and that was their decision.  They didn't include them because they didn't want people using them for whatever reason.

Using the trainer that the story talks about alters the game.  Now if you use that and play offline, no harm.  If Blizzard banned them for that and invalidated their Cd key, that would be fishy.  As it stands, the guy went online, uses a 3rd party program to alter the game, unfairly got achievements, and he was banned.
