In that case they're loosing a customer. That doesn't make sense to do anything like that. Just ensure for all new games the same measures are put in place to detect cheats in that game and then you'll not loose out.

For example if you are caught doing certain cheats in BF2 your hardware id is banned. Not only is your ban permenant in BF2, the player is globally banned in any games supported by PB. It is a start in the right direction. It at least makes a cheater/hacker feel the pain for their actions. IMHO until you take the anomnimite of gaming away people will still hide behind their computers and get away with as much as they can.
