Blizzard most recently went after cheat maker Bossland last summer, whichn they filed suit over the group’s now-unavailable Overwatch program, Watchover Tyrant. Blizzard claims that the mod continued to cause, massive and irreparable harm to Blizzard by violating copyrights and terms of service, potentially causing players to stop playing Overwatch, or not buy it at all.
According to TorrentFreak, Blizzard has now submitted a motion for default judgment. They want $8,563,600 in damages, a number they calculated by taking Bossland’s testimony that they’ve sold 118,939 products to users in the United States since July of 2013 and approximating that 36 percent of them were cheats for Blizzard games. Blizzard claims that adds up to 42,818 infringements, for a total just north of $8.5 million.
“While Blizzard would surely be entitled to seek a larger amount, Blizzard seeks only minimum statutory damages,” they said.
damn, this is like being caught downloading a ROM. anyone here use the mods mentioned?
