If you haven’t heard blizzard is planning on suing 3 main developers for starcraft 2 hacks.\u00a0 Taultunleashed does not have any staff that creates hacks but merely members submit things that they find on the web.\u00a0 This of course kept us out of the legality of this one (go us).<\/p>\n
On a different note we believe that there is a very good chance this will be dismissed on the grounds that blizzard needs proof these people made profits off of the game which cant be exactly seen just yet.\u00a0 Secondly blizzard needs to prove that they had a loss of income due to these hacks.\u00a0 Which is going to be hard sine its not a mmo subscription based platform so blizzard will have to show that people cheating ruined the game for others, which caused them not to play, which makes the game less active, which causes people not to purchase the game?\u00a0 It seems like a long shot.<\/p>\n
Whether or not you approve of hacking this is a big precedent that blizzard is trying to set.\u00a0 They basically state they can ditact what people can and can not do with their game.\u00a0 Would this allow police agencies to sue developers of armor piecing bullets?\u00a0 Microsoft making it illegal to run firefox on your computer?\u00a0 Or someone merely making a game with a eula that states if you visit a certain website you owe them millions of dollars.\u00a0 Yes i know these are far stretches but blizzard is trying to make a case that because you have something stated in the eula you then are legally binded to a contract which is a big reach on their part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
