World of Warcraft Bot Case Nets Blizzard $6 Million
Posted on 01 October 2008 by Erik
World of Warcraft developer Blizzard has been awarded $6 million due to MDY Industries’ sales of the MMO Glider software, which allowed players to auto-assign actions and gain expereince while not actively playing the game.
A few months back, the court ruled that bot author Michael Donnelly had violated World of Warcraft’s license agreement.
Approximately 100,000 copies of the MMO Glider software are believed to have been sold. Combined with the software’s $5 optional subscription, Blizzard believes Donnelly made at least $2.8 million.
So, more than double that and ship it to Blizzard please. Although the report states that the court’s ruling denied Blizzard’s motion to double or triple the overall amount.
