For anyone interested here is why: BBC News - Blizzard sues Starcraft II cheat hackers
The gist of it is game companies are losing the fight vs cheats/hacks. Since it is technically hard to detect hacks that only read the games memory. Blizzard seems to be taking the "bury the problem in money" route here
what was the latest release ? Iam still on version 14.5.14.2
Completely stupid reason to stop the project. If he was going to get sued, they would have done it a long time ago. Blizz knows full well that TurboHud is used by a ton of players, and almost all the top streamers that promote their game. TurboHud makes absolutely no money other than donations. He will never get sued. This is incredibly lame and im not sure ill touch d3 again once TH stops working. **** this.
You would risk your family, business and way of life just to continue making a hack. The EXACT same kind of hack that blizzard just filed a suit against another company for? It is a very legitimate reason to stop development... You don't have to make money to infringe copyright. Blizzard can collect up to $150,000 per infringement if they win suit against you even if you never made profits
Also, look at demonbuddy if you want any more proof blizz isnt going to do anything. If they cant successfully sue them, they sure as **** are not going after TurboHud. Grow a pair John.
There is NO comparison between the two. None whatsoever. "The publisher says the software undermines online multiplayer battles and could cause players to lose interest in the title." Sounds exactly the OPPOSITE of what turbohud does. SC2 is an E-sport. D3 is not. They do not give a shit about TurboHud, and I guarantee they secretly love that is exists.

and on ps3 u can do whatever u want ....
Killerjohn are you willing to give this project to someone who wants to coninue this ?
Even though this is the reason given for the lawsuit this is not what Blizzard is accusing them of doing. What the lawsuit is over is 1, copyright infringment, VC uses SC2 material to market its software. KJ is guilty of this as well because D3 material is used to market turbo hut. 2. breaking their contract with blizzard, this the legal document that pops up from time to time after updates and after you've first installed that says that you have to agree too to keep the software installed on your computer and to play the game. Both VC and turbohud clearly violate this by reverse engineering as well as other things. 3. the issue of profit, VC charges to use their software, but KJ also profited due to his use of a donate button. The second someone donated him a beer he profited.
What it breaks down too is that you could easily just replace ValiantChaos with Killer John, ValiantChaos MapHack with TurboHUD, and StarCraft II with Diablo 3 and the lawsuit would be completely valid but targeting KJ instead.
