i never said anything about the employees of blizzard so i have nothing to prove to that effect
and I take it you've never heard of Bobby Kotick? That man's life revolves around getting more money by any means possible

two companies trying to position themselves to make more money and have more power in the market

neither is right or wrong

who will win or if both will compromise... many variables will decide

How does this deserve its own thread?

As for the points. Yes it is in every company's interest to make a profit, but sometimes businesses makes decisions which do not provide a profit immediately. Protecting their IP rights is a way to ensure that their future products don't get stolen.

Somehow I don't think Blizzard/Activision can make an e-sports scene worthy of the one we have now.

Many people missed the point only a select few can differentiate the last point from the first 9 points. I point some key facts out and add in my hypothesis that after this lawsuit (if it happens) it will set precedent and I believe pretty much no other NPO can step in e-sports because they simply didn't make the game (unless for whatever reason the game company allows them to). It's not a very complicated hypothesis, it's really simple.

I'm not anti-Blizzard, they made BW, SC2, it's good they are making money (which for some reason people hate them for?), but what I am against is Blizzard stated they don't care about profits (untrue), and the current struggle for IP rights will set precedent for future games if it goes to a legal battle.

I am biased to some degree yes. I'll be real and upfront about it. There is no neutral 3rd party supreme objective view here. Except for Rekrul from this thread because his post was so meaningless that anybody could have already said.

The analogies of NFL and parallelisms with NHL by teamsolid was pretty frustrating to read and I wonder how you can make such irrelevant ties with a budding industry vs. the respective national sports of USA/Canada just on the grounds that they are both NPOs.



Yes you are correct, there are ranged goals of businesses in which they may suffer losses initially. I believe it is common knowledge. Please read more carefully, points 6-7.

Zim23 thank you for your insightful post.



I don't believe so too... sadly enough


... Anyways... Selective reading for the loss.
