Blizzard Awarded $6M Damages From MMOGlider

dw604 writes "The makers of MMOGlider have been found in breach of the World of Warcraft terms of service and are forced to pay Blizzard $6M in damages." There's a lot of sticky issues on this one. Mostly I'm amazed that MMOGlider had that kind of cash.

    Maybe they just used their own application to farm some more gold. Just a thought.

    World of Warcraft - A game so fun that people pay for programs to play it for them.

    You're telling me! I can't wait for World of World of Warcraft to come out! I'm going to roll a 90 lb famished Chinese man working for pennies an hour!

    The premise of a "discussion board" is apparently hard for you to grasp.

    Why the flaming fugg would I pay for software to play a game for me, while also paying a subscription fee for access to the game itself?

    Perhaps you're a sociocyberpath. You see, normal people empathize with their computer, and feel bad at what all they put the poor machine through. So they give it the enjoyment of mindless repetitive tasks in a virtual environment with others of its kind, all without some stupid and demanding user sitting there at the keyboard. It's "computer time." How sad that you can't imagine this simple kindness.

    Who asked you? Seriously?

    Who asked you to ask who asked him?

    Wait, who asked me to ask you to ask who asked you to ask him? And if no one asked us to ask, then why do we ask at all?!

    It's all been for naught. Our keyboards... useless, now.
