Why are we talking to Blizzard about StarDraft?
Shortly after we first were able to load patched files, Merlin, Moneran, and I realized that cheating might be possible if you modified some files contained in the MPQ archives. We therefore contacted Blizzard to ask them for file names and/or extensions that we should not allow modification of. We sought only to help keep Battle.net intact and the Ladder system from collapsing, not to limit per se what everyone could do. After extensive testing on Battle.net and in Single player games, we determined that Battle.net cheating will be limited to players playing with the same patched files, and in Single player games, the cheating possibility already exists through cheat codes.
