Q&A With Vivendi Rep About Bnetd

Posted by Hemos on from the judged-for-crimes-not-yet-committed dept.

Colin Winters writes "War3pub.net managed to get some answers out of a Vivendi rep about why they are suing BnetD and what they hope to accomplish. Worth a read to see how Vivendi/Blizzard is thinking about the whole thing. They believe that BnetD is going to profit sometime in the future, and want to stop them now. Kind of like arresting someone because they might get in a car accident 10 years down the road. "

    TRANSGAMING CAN USE BLIZZARDS CODE WHICH CHECKS THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE CD KEYS THAT CONNECT TO IT.

    Thus Transgaming can solve blizzards piracy situation while offering BLIZZARDS battlenet.

    So you see, Transgaming allows battlenet on linux, I never said an open source battlenet, I never said battlenet for Lans, I said blizzards battlenet.
    People would still connect to blizzards server!
