Nostalrius shut down

C&D's are cheap as hell to issue from a legal team. That prompts the question, why doesn't Blizzard have their team issue C&D's to every private server project that they become aware of?

The correct answer involves RMT sales, server population in terms of being a rival, and what evidence they are sitting on that could generate an uncomfortable investigation. Blizzard on the surface seems to only be bothered to take action if it's worth their while to follow up with what comes after the C&D.

It didn't help that the project was being run out of France, either.

Agreed. Complying with the C&D seems smart in this case, the server was most likely turning a profit and/or owned by a wealthy group/person that could be worth money with the right case.

that video makes me hate shitty nerd AAA game devs even more than I already hate shitty nerd AAA game devs. Which is crazy because I hated them the maximum amount already.

Right there with you...it takes a special kind of sperglord to ignore the numbers and data and lie to upper management or in a planning meeting like a douchebag

"they think they do, but they don't! we make the best WoW possible, each expac was an improvement on previous gameplay".

They released the source code, it's just down to the community to pick ONE new home where servers aren't going to get lawyered off. What about Brazil? India?

[Cecily]

Wouldn't publicly releasing that code get them into legal issues as well?
