And who are they actually going to get with this? The botters will just move to some country which won't cooperate with the states and that's that.

Send threats and ban them if they don't come to the states for a vacation and get get sued on the side.

Go Twitch, rooting for ya.

True but it hurts the game. Quit playing Aion due to a subscriber cheat prog that Ncsoft europe and Gameforge wouldn't do a thing about. Love team fortress 2, but won't spend money on it, cause hacks...

Because suing people who live in china and the likes tends to not work for a company based in the states.
