Blizzard Going After WoW Related iPhone Apps

Posted by Soulskill on from the anything-you-can-app-we-can-app-better-in-a-few-years dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Apparently Blizzard is going after developers making iPhone apps for World of Warcraft (free and otherwise) by giving them cease-and-desist orders. As Mike Schramm says 'Blizzard may be planning to do more with the iPhone,' but 'It would be a real shame if Blizzard legal was simply going after fans who have invested a lot of time and effort into these apps even when there's no clear reason for them to do so.'" It's interesting that they're doing so around the same time a video for a (rumored, alleged, unconfirmed — take your pick) iPhone client for World of Warcraft has been floating around.

    Does it matter? I thought all Chinese players already moved to EU/US servers to gold farm.

    Some of my friends who still play admit to spending more time playing Peggle or Bejeweled inside of WoW than actually farming or PVP.
