Blizzard Entertainment has outlined its policy on cheating and hacks for the soon-to-launch shooter Overwatch. In a forum post, the developer said "Play nice, play fair" is a "core value" for Blizzard, and as such, there will be stiff penalties for cheaters.
"If a player is found to be cheating--or using hacks, bots, or third-party software that provides any sort of unfair advantage--that player will be permanently baed from the game. Full stop," the developer said.
Blizzard is taking such a hard line because it said it believes cheating "undermine[s] the spirit of play" and also impacts other players' enjoyment. The developer stressed that is has systems in place to monitor the game in search of "exploitative behavior" and will "take action as needed to preserve the integrity of game."

"We've always taken cheating in Blizzard games very seriously, and that stance is no different for Overwatch."
However, don't expect Blizzard to publicly aounce when cheaters are caught.
"We are unlikely to publicly acknowledge when accounts are closed as a result of cheating or using unauthorized programs," the developer said.
Blizzard also confirmed that Overwatch will have an in-game player-reporting feature that can be used to alert the developer to suspicious behavior. Additionally, you can send tips to Blizzard at [email protected]. You will not receive a response from Blizzard, but the company said it monitors the mail that is sent to the inbox. In fact, the company has already tweaked the game and kicked players out in the beta who were discovered to be cheating, Blizzard said.
Before you report a player, however, you may want to consider the following items (written by Blizzard):
