The best thing that anyone can do is vote with their wallet. I had the Diablo III Collector's Edition on pre-order from GameStop. When I found out that people had to be connected to the internet to play the single player I canceled my pre-order. Sure. it may not effect Blizzard all that much that they didn't receive my money but I can take pleasure in the fact that I didn't spend my money on something that I disagree with.
I agree, only recourse you have is to vote with your wallet. The next installment comes out soon. Just don't buy it.
I tried cheating during campaign too - they banned me.
I tried contacting their support and they said that they won't unban my account.
When I told them that they are propagating piracy this way - they answered that it does not matter to them and the only thing that matters is that they can ban whoever is cheating.
Also they proposed me to buy another copy of the game.
This is their way of business - stupid one I think.

I seriously doubt a Blizz employ turned round and replied in that manner.
You have all been warned in the past, playing while connected to Blizz servers will get you banned, but people still do it. And here is the result.
Ok most people will cry because they can't cheat, but it is their system and you all agreed to their TOS when installing and subsequent patches installed.
You say we have been warned. warned how? I never seen any warning. I just reread their legal agreement. I am not a lawyer and don't usually pay these much attention. Now that I am banned I did a little digging by reading forums and the legal agreement. The legal agreement says nothing specifically about single player games. To me it sounds like they are talking about multiplayer games. So If we don't spend our days reading forums. How have we been warned?
