[2021] [PSA] CS confirmed players are getting banned for the MiniMap, no warnings

We have banned no one that I know of (barring a mistake, there are humans involved, please let me know if you think this happened to you) for using Overwolf with minimaps that are currently available and use only position of the character.

There have been suspensions the last few days around macro use, but those don’t come from Overwolf. And bans for many other things, not related to Overwolf.

If we found a need to disable Overwolf, we have that option via EAC. We’d do that first.

Also it’s creepy that you folks can see me typing.

We actually have a lengthy discussion on this, but haven’t posted it yet. We’ll clear up things with that post, hopefully tomorrow.

But I can tell you no one has been banned for an Overwolf minimap unless a mistake was made. This is not a promise that all existing minimaps will forever be ok, because their functionality could change over time in ways we can’t even anticipate right now. We’ll describe (hopefully with full clarity) what is ok in that upcoming post. Sorry, I know I’m running the risk of sounding like passing the buck, but it’s important to be precise about such things and we worked to make that post precise, so it’s better than any off the cuff response I would make.

But if we considered a minimap bannable, we would warn first before taking any account actions.
