r/drama: Blizzard mad someone made money off game they didn't make within game they did make, complying with Blizzard license, not perusing person for contract, watching them get hired by competitors 8 years later, only to complain another 6 years after that. I am not a newdesigncel.

This might come as a shock to you, but I do not care about your opinions, your ignorance or failure to comprehend the research, or what you believe. The only thing I care about, and I can not stress this enough, is what the empirical research says. And it says you are wrong.

Your personal opinion? worth as much as a pile of dog shit on the sidewalk to me. That is the absolute extent to which I care about what you think. This is where I stopped reading. I do not entertain the economic illiteracy of far leftists or far right-wing tards.

Both are equally misinformed on average, both are failures.

Thanks, but I haven't touched the stuff in a couple years, which is why I am reporting on this old news that has turned into new news.

If it did it would mean any work made under someone else's copyright would belong to the over arching copyright holders, no matter the context.

It is a mega corporation's wet dream.

It's more about trademarks but yeah its complete bullshit. No one is going to really make new games in it so it doesn't really tbh.

Blizzard is comically behind on the times. This would have been a good idea in like 2006, now why would anyone want to make mods on wc3 reforged when dota2 and other game engines exist.

More important is that creating a game is easier now thanks to unity and other frameworks. In those days map editors were great because they were the only tools where you could create a new game sort of

On the one hand I support EA Games, Blizzard and other major game companies because they know how to fuck gamers. On the other hand I hate them because they create vidya games.
