Sucks for those people, who knows where they're going to get the rest of the 85mil

 

[Mordd]

As expected. When your pockets are as deep as blizz you can sue just to make a point.

If Blizz wanted to stop private servers, or gold selling, believe me, they could. It's a multi-billion dollar company. This is old news for them. She will also appeal this and get it down to $3-10 million.

Even then depending on how long they had their server up 3-10 mil is A LOT of money prolly gunna bankrupt her.

She deserves it, Blizzard would not have cared if she would have used the money as donations to a charity or to keep the server up. Instead she used it for personal gain as income.

Oh i didn't know that, then screw her. If i was making that money i'd keep like 5% and rest would be used to keep server going and improving it and donate it and what not, because going against a huge corporation like blizzard is a scary thought knowing how hard they can hit.

i lol'd she deserves it

 

[Samlock]

Ouch... Been waiting for this day for a while, read a fair bit about Alyson and her interesting take on donations...!

Another reason I hate blizzard. They/she wasn't using any of blizzard's networks and bnetd was an imitation of their crap.

Fuck blizzard.

 

[Caen25]

Only reason I still play this game is to 3 shot people at 80 who think they are "elite."

Especially palladins. >.> I love like maybe 6 shotting pallys w/ my dk when i'm fully decked out against a fully decked out pally.

I doubt the folks at Blizzard are internally this benevolent.
