Apparently Blizzard does have a choice when its Ascension doing all of that?
Comment on Anon plays World of Warcraft
Aerosolcb@lemmy.world 2 days agoI’d heard about Tutrtlewow for a while. I decided to try it a few months ago. Loved it. But you know what happened.
To be fair, it was Turtlewow’s fault. Blizzard has a legal obligation to defend their IP. Private servers are an uneasy truce. Blizzard ignores them because they get people into the WoW space. Turt Wow, however, started charging money and literally advertising on Blizzard’s pages on social media. Turtle WoW literally pulled their dick out in front of Blizzard, started helicoptering it while taunting Blizz, “The fuck you gonna do, pussy boooiiii??”
Blizzard quite literally had no choice. I really loved Turtle WoW, but they completely fucked themselves on this one.

None of what you said was a new thing or what actually pushed Blizz/Msoft to action. It was the unreal engine port that did it.

I’m pretty sure blizzard just paid them to shut down the server. It happens the same way every time with every server.

This is a friendly reminder that Warcraft stole from Warhammer’s IP
