Blizzard Sued Over Battle.net Authentication

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday November 10, 2012 @09:43AM from the did-you-try-googling-your-problem-first dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A man has initiated a class-action suit against Blizzard over a product used to shore up Battle.net security. Benjamin Bell alleges that Blizzard's sale of Authenticators — devices that enable basic two-tier authentication — represents deceptive and unfair additional costs to their basic games. (Blizzard sells the key fob versions for $6.50, and provides a free mobile app as an alternative. Neither are mandatory.) The complaint accuses Blizzard of making $26 million in Authenticator sales. In response, Blizzard made a statement refuting some of the complaint's claims and voicing their intention to 'vigorously defend' themselves."

I think this is all bogus also. I think Blizzard makes some mightly claims. However, we will have to follow up with this one. You can read more about that here: http://www.squidoo.com/best-water-softeners
