> Now you'll get banned for life Generally speaking, if you are a suspected cheater, I can see why you would be barred from online-play. There's always going to be false-positives though. How often that happens and what means of recourse one has (or should have) is IMO another discussion. And in this particular case, it seems Activision is doing pretty much all the wrong things(tm) though. > even banned from the single player mode. The fact that an account (and a server) is required to play a game you've bought in single-player mode is on another level outragious. That itself should be illegal. > Sorry, no refunds! Again. Clearly this needs to be illegal. If you take away a product you've allowed someone to "buy", then you've broken your end of the bargain.

Obviously doing it for no valid reason is a breach of contract, but I'm sure the legalese is pretty thick. No one "buys" anything obviously and the license agreement will clearly say you forfeit your license if you cheat. And here I'm pretty sure the legalese would say "Whether or not you actually cheated is up to us to decide so we define it as when our tools say you did". So basically: you have a license, and that license is valid until their tools say it isn't. Now, will such a license agreement hold up if tested legally? Maybe not. But it's likely what I clicked "Accept" on.
