Blizzard Wins Warcraft Bot Payout

Posted 1st Oct 2008 11:00 AM by Hazzie

World of Warcraft creator Blizzard has won $6m (£3.36m) in damages from the makers of software ‘bot’ Glider.

In July US District Court Judge David Campbell ruled that the MMOGlider, as the software is now known, broke the terms of the license that players agree to when they play World of Warcraft (WoW).

The Glider software is the creation of MDY founder Michael Donnelly who is thought to have sold more than 100,000 copies of the $25 (£14) program.

However, Blizzard previously claimed over double the ammount they are being awarded, and may appeal for a larger settlement.

Haha - good job Blizzard!

Also - what’s going on with the background WAR advert….this site used to be pretty much advert free and now we’ve had the Spore splash followed by this intrusive monster… What’s going on?! Got ££ fever?

That would be the fault of the parent site IncGamers.

I’ve already responded to you via PMs about the Warhammer advert Xeodus, there was no need to post here about it as well, it’s unrelated to the news item.
