Is it just me or does it not seem like there is a form of collusion between Bnet & Cheaters?

Step 1: Ban Cheaters
Step 2: 40% Sale on Game

WTF!?!

I think it's more Microsoft than Bnet.
I mean, they are the parent company are they not?

On the face of it, bans look to be good for the community by punishing cheaters.
But, it appears like they are okay with cheaters until they need to do some company fund raising. :)

Bnet, "Hey guys. It looks like we can pay your salaries this week but the electricity may be turned off. Any ideas?"
Staff member#1, "Lets ban all the cheaters we've been tracking for months. Most of them will re-buy, especially if we have a sale."

More like hundreds.. they treat it like a business.. have to make big money to survive the bot bans. I mean, how do you think Yoginator has over 15 million fg.
