Yes, you never owned anything in WoW.
You paid a monthly sub to access the content, understanding you owned nothing in it or related to it.
It’s been that way from the start.
Blizzard’s transformation into one of the world’s biggest pieces of shit is almost complete.
Just like Sony and EA delisted a bunch of games recently and people lost their minds
Y’all have fun with your digital future, I’ll stick to physical media and if it comes down it, the high seas
They will get sued to hell and back from the EU.
Member when the guy who made DOTA came to Blizzard, and they laughed him out of the building? Member what happened to their own dota, Heroes of the Storm, later? This is why they included “If you make anything using our world editor, it belongs to us” clause in the Reforged user agreement.
It pisses me off because what if I was okay with the original EULA but not this one?
I lose access to the thing I paid for?
Can I get a refund after disagreeing with the new terms?
What did I previously own that this EULA means I now don’t own?
Annndd this is why I stopped caring about any fomo gaming. They’ve done a good job at making us pay a subscription to own nothing.
The Blizzard Entertainment that you loved growing up, that made some of the greatest games ever. Has long been dead, those people that made the company so great are long gone.
Bye Blizzard.
Might as well go partner with Ubisoft. Change your logo to the turd.
Your schlock hasn’t been worth purchase for a few years, anyway.
“If buying is not owning, then piracy is not stealing.”
Gamers are idiots and extraordinarily susceptible to manipulated outrage. You didn’t own anything before!
You’re right, Blizzard. I don’t own anything from you. Maybe if you stopped being mustache twirling villains, I might be interested in your games.
It’s sad we really need some regulation on this and Arbitration should not even fucking exist, what a scam for the rich to exploit.
Pretty sure there is no way that forced arbitration clause would hold up in either the UK or EU.
It’d be instantly tore up under something like the Unfair Contract Terms Act
I sold multiple accounts throughout the years for a few grand, for myself and for others.
This is me laughing in your face Blizz. 🤡
Well joke’s on them. It just means I won’t buy anything either. I mean, I already didn’t because Blizzard is a shitty company, but now I have one additional reason to not do it lol
Surprise!! mother f%&r
I mean we can all file a class action lawsuit against blizzard. You can’t buy something and then have the company later tell you we changed the agreement you no longer own the thing you bought
Joke’s on you, Blizzard; I’m Canadian. Cannot sign away rights like that up here.
All of that “forfeit rights to class action” scummery that companies try is non-binding here.
Time for a class action lawsuit.
ToS agreement is bidirectional, I have sent all my Blizzard lore over to the Hydraulic Press Channel as donation. Good Riddance, but thx for the D1 & D2 memories nevertheless. you are the epitome of a gone too soon Jesus Christ Superstar.
Smart. Blizzard still haven’t forgiven themselves for losing over billions of dollars for not including this when DOTA came.
If you had to do a step by step tutorial on how to achieve the downfall of a company and create hatred from once dedicated and beloved fans, you would do exactly what blizzard has done
Fuckers.
Great first step for Blizzard following the Microsoft acquisition and stepping down of Bobby Kotick!
/s
Didn’t Microsoft buy this piece of shit company?
This sh** is ridiculous. Class action lawsuit now!!!
