Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. filed an interim injunction to stop sales of DB [Update]

[Incident]

Why is everyone hating on blizzard??

They have every right to sue.

Botting is against the agreed ToS and EULA and causing severe imbalance to the in-game economy.

They are just doing their job.

 

[Hawker]

They have already said multiple times there will be no local nav, period.

We changed our mind. Local nav is not working perfectly but it would have been done in a test release today after the patch update.

 

[Xilana]

Oh noooo

Good Luck Guys!

 

[obl927]

May the force be with you guys All the way!

 

[bossland]

Yes u'll get a refund as stated by bossland. And what I'd like to know is: why is it that the nav-server is down if you only got the infringement on selling and distributing the bot?

Allowing the software to work, is distribution. Might be badly translated by me into english, but i believe its forbidden too.

The whole injunction is written that lazy that it could mean ANYTHING.... that is why we need the court hearing in few days.

 

[OneSe7en]

huh??

They are distributing 3rd party software that manipulates D3 which is not allowed

ahhh ok.

No. Even if they write this in the TOS/EULA where ever, you cannot force someone to a certain play style. If i chose to play with a bot i have the human rigth todo so. Everything else means discrimination of personal freedom.

Further does botting not affect the game in a bad way since the gold currecny will adapt and each sale Blizzard makes their share.

 

[The-Lord]

I guess I will go learn how to play my DH now. lol

 

[jokersmocker99]

Thats why the bot is no longer working??

 

[Eisenberg]

I think they are not violating ToS just by selling software that voiolates it, the one who runs D3 and click "accept" on TOS window is.

 

[Schranzmaster]

Oh shit.. Already bought it 12 month license but never activated it (Just bought it to get the 33% discount).. Get my next account in the following week.. Do I also get money back or the double session? Well I would wait for 1-2 weeks ofc and trust in you

 

[Ravenjlx]

Blizzard needs to focus more on game improvement and making their fans come back not going after Bossland or Nerf Batting everything in the game. Blizzard needs someone to stick a huge bat up their arses...seriously...

 

[Kickazz006]

Good point.

-Hellbuddy: Lolz we bot!
-Blizzard: Banwave!

-Immortal: Lolz we bot!
-Blizzard: Already detected, your den AWOL, banwave inc!

-Demonbuddy: Yeah, guess we are gonna bot too...
-Blizzard: THE LAWYERS! FFS, OMG BRING THA LAWYERS HERE NOOOOOW!!!!!

lololol

 

[gehoornde]

Yes, but DB crew states that to use the program is against the ToS so it should not be their fault

Not sure how this holds up legally. I know nothing about law and all that but I see it like this:

Lets say your local drugdealer puts a big plate with cocaine and heroin in front of his door and next to it a lil paper saying: don't use this, its against the law and then expect to not get in trouble.
I know it's not the same but still...

Sorry you can NOT get both, you need to decide :/

 

[KiLLian]

"All of you that stick with us over the next few days / week(s), we will be doubling your sessions once this is over."

The week(s) part scares me. I think most people can wait for a few days, even a week. But i doubt people will wait a month or more.

 

[no1knowsy]

This is for you Buddy Team.

 

[shuuk]

i hope the devs can work in background on demonbuddy

Wrong. You do not have the right to do so.

Blizzard is not forcing you to do anything, if you do not agree to their ToS and EULA, you can't play the game.

This isn't about discrimination and freedom dude lol
