  1. He won with a counter threat on Bringing Down A Copycat Site · · Score: 5, Insightful

    To bad the hosting provider didn't take his complaint seriously. This guy can just pick the next company and start all over again.

    Now they're involved in German domino sports as well?

    For your information it wasn't Germany but the netherlands.

  3. Re:No control over your own product ? on Q&A With Vivendi Rep About Bnetd · · Score: 1

    As far as I understand (thas diablo 2 ;) ) the server side (battle.net) can manipulate a lot off statistics like when items drop and who offten. Even the item statistics are server based. But thats what I heard i'm just a user not really fomilliar with the bnetd code.

  4. No control over your own product ? on Q&A With Vivendi Rep About Bnetd · · Score: 1

    I think blizzard has two reasons:
    1.
    Look at the games witch use Battle.net, they would not be played if you couldn't go on-line playing it with other people. So blizzard makes a CD key authentication so you buy the game. With bnetd you can play without a 'legal' key so less copies of the games would be sold.
    2.
    What if everybody went using bnetd in stead of battle.net. What control would they have in adjusting the gameplay? This way bnetd would get control over blizzard's games.

    I love open source but I also like Blizzard a lot. I would really be sad if blizzard is going under due to a open source project like bnetd.
