I suggest just reading the full article and making your own conclusions but I personally deleted the game for now. I need to see how far these measures will actually go and will they want to like take my DNS history or something.

Discrimination is the process of making unfair or prejudicial distinctions between people based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they belong or are perceived to belong, such as race, gender, age, class, religion, or sexual orientation.

The distinction in this case is made by how much cheating happens in a region, which is kind of not prejudical.

Well that in itself isn't discrimination I think. Discrimination is region restricting the game because of it. That's what I meant.

That would be collective punishment. Which is very unfair - I agree. But it is not discrimination.
