It actually that surprising anymore given that Blizzard announced opening its own legacy servers a while ago. Can't have people playing stuff for free when you could make money from them.

...any workaround to this fellhs? Keep the mechanics & change it all up? Maybe its time for new storyline and new abilities with the same old wow feel? How about a plot about a WOW parallel universe that blizzard keeps trying to destroy? As soon as you step thru the portal to the parallel universe, all old abilities are transformed into new abilities.

Still uses original game assets on the client side.
Wow devs worked hard to texture etc all the stuff.
I'm not sure when intellectual property borders on parody however. Don't think WoW can be a full on parody without creating entirely separate game.

Just playing devil advocate but companies do need to protect there intercultural copyright.

Which would be valid except that Light's Hope is a pre-expansion game server, the content of which was completely erradicated by Blizzard over the intervening years.

It would actually be great if they had to protect their artificial monopoly, rather than offload the costs to taxpayers. It wouldn't be worth it, and how would a company employ the violence necessary to stop people from using their own property to host a server? It's a resource-wasting enterprise which benefits just the monopolist.

Whould you say that if, for example, a company produced printers and ink cartriges for those printers for years, and then suddenly stopped producing those cartriges, and when people started making substitues, they would sue the shit out of then. Would that be protecting their copyright?

If that's the case, can you name any cases where a company has lost copyrights?
[–] Ghetto_Shitlord 1 point 0 points 1 point (+1|-1) ago
You won't, because they enforce them!
