I'm banning Blizzard for life!

[captmorgan72]

I bought StarCraft 2 when it was first released and played it. I recently decided to play it again and was going to get around to getting Heart of the Swarm. I discovered however that I couldn't login to my account. The login info was not working. I contacted chat support and they told me that none of my login info matched up with the account. I gave them my cd key and that wasn't good enough for them. They asked me the security question and they told me I had the wrong answer. The support agent told me that they couldn't help me. I asked for their supervisor and 15 minutes later, they told me the same thing. So my game is completely useless now. It looks like someone hacked my account and Blizzard wouldn't believe me that the account is mine. I'm completely done with anything associated with that company for now on.

Wow, that's ridiculously awful!  I'm sorry CM.  That's one of the essential problems with the digital rental model games are moving towards.  You don't actually own your property.

I've never been hacked in my life... EXCEPT my blizzard accounts. I set up an account to try WOW and after I got bored it got hacked and I got email for years about the account being suspended. Whatever, who cares... then I used my Gmail to try the demo of Diablo 3 and eventually got bored... now I got email about that account being suspended.

It is kind of pathetic but I use the Microsoft analogy... since they have a huge market share, they get all the hackers. But unlike Sony Online for example, they dont seem to care.

The emails about the account being suspended are usually fake.  They are attempts to get you to log into a fake version of Blizzard site out of fear of being hacked in order for them to hack you.  Basically, in order to steal your account, they make you think it's already been stolen.  I was getting those emails long before I had an account with them.

Yeah, the only time I have ever had an account stolen is through Blizzard.

Kind of stinks that you have to pay for your account to be "hack-proof."

I waited years and years for SC2 and when i played through the demo I wanted more...but the always online feature really turned me off so I never purchased the game.  SC1 was awesome in that you could have private lan parties all night on a closed network and to worry about accounts and login...
