Does that mean it was completely made up, or they just did a quick 180? I'd actually guess the former, since all the times I've seen companies implement ridiculous DRM schemes that generated a ton of backlash, they weren't smart enough to change their minds in response.

I thought this would be something really crystal clear.

Considering how competitive SC is, it makes perfect sense they want to keep all hacks and modifications restricted and cutting them at the roots. If hacks are developed on single player, eventually they can be adapted for use on multiplayer.

It's not that bad when you think of it. The client keeps a log of what changes are being made to the game client all the time, just blizzard never really used that feature to this extent until now. If they can see what hackers are editting, they are able to fix hacks almost instantaniously and make it more difficult for 3rd party developers to make these hacks.

...so those developing the hacks will do so in single-player mode on a separate machine, not letting it report, probably cracked, and then do a little testing and tweaking if need be to get them working on multiplayer.
