Since StarCraft patch 1.04, all Blizzard games have been released with PC and Mac installers on the same disc. Prior to this, including older versions of the StarCraft discs, they were released separately.
While the games themselves were almost always identical, the original version of WarCraft had a few noticeable graphics and UI differences.
With traffic lights, green means "go" and yellow means "slow down." But with bananas, it's the other way around. Yellow means "go ahead," green means "hold on." And red means "where the fuck did you get that banana at?"
4, The player must physically interact to perform anything, however these can be macroed so that the player need only press one button to do most, or all, of the work. This satisfies your original example of a macro that can perform "alt-c, alt-q, w,r,t,6,2,7,8,0,m,p,z" by "just hitting a single button"
Unless you meant that hitting the button multiple times is too interactive for the disabled.
What's the difference between a gamer hitting alt-c, alt-q, w,r,t,6,2,7,8,0,m,p,z for their attack actions... and just hitting a single button for a macro that does the same? More to the point, what's the gameplay difference as seen by any other players?
These type of macros are usable in WoW as it stands, and in-fact can be written in-game using the/macro system. The macro in this case would be castsequence, which lets you use one command to cast spells or other actions in a sequence.
In fact, there are many other examples of macros, currently available, that simply require the minimum of player interaction. Player interaction is the baseline by which macros are judged vs. automated gameplay. Crossing the line, and involving no player interaction, is what is considered botting and is against the ToU.
Many of the examples you've given don't cross over into "uncanny valley" territory - nobody would get stuffed animals confused with real animals, or people. The things considered to be in the "uncanny valley" are generally attempts at photorealistic humans that get close enough to confuse the observer, and then turn disturbing when they act in an unnatural way. It is similar to your glass of water example, however this is cognitive dissonance on a higher level, because it's dealing with "real" people and sometimes "real" emotions.
This is how free Anarchy Online subs work (for the most part), and that's a decent system. Great game, no monthly fee (but you miss out on expansion content, etc.)
Firstly, I don't think anyone has to convince anyone that Blizzard releases good products. That seems pretty obvious, given their sales figures.
Secondly, I don't think I've seen a single top-ranking 2v2 arena team composed of simply a Rogue and a Warrior, as neither has the ability to heal.
Finally, you are correct in your assertion that PvE players needn't play in the arenas. If you're not inclined to PvP, there is nothing requiring you to.
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Blizzard agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding.
Wherein, they would refer you to article 8, and ask you to leave.
According to Article 6 of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use:
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Login Information, and you will be responsible for all uses of your Login Information, whether or not authorized by you.
So, technically, any time anyone loses control of their account, it's their fault. It seems the restorations that are done are not done out of obligation, but for the sake of good service.
A "case" like this would never make it close to a courtroom.
From Article 8 of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use:
You agree that you have no right or title in or to any such content, including the virtual goods or currency appearing or originating in the Game, or any other attributes associated with the Account or stored on the Service.
You can't change the secret question or answer, as far as I know. They may ask for you to fax information such as ID or something more (SSID, Birth Certificate, I dunno)
This was a decision made by EMI, as they still own the rights to the Radiohead Catalogue. In the same vein, they're attempting to make even more money off of the success of Radiohead by selling "The Best of Radiohead," which, as far as I know, is not approved by the band themselves.
Please do not take this as Radiohead's decision, when it's clearly that of their (former) label.
I imagine it's much harder than you may think to pick up a control scheme for a part of your body that's not only never existed on your body, but never existed in the history of your species.
But, more to the point, I think they ought to focus on the basics before adding on extra fingers and elbows;)

Player interaction. The player must actually initiate any interaction with the game.

Let Google go offshore somewhere and set up a test facility.
Looks like they're one step ahead of you.
Interestingly, the character was given the name "Kerrigan," because the badass chick from competing RTS Red Alert was named "Tanya"
If only I could mod something +1 cute

At last count, they have 10.9 million (active)
This would certainly not be obnoxious.

Word to the wise: AddOns only require xml and lua files to work. If your AddOn has you running, really, anything else, I'd be wary.
