It's probably possible to do this, but who would? Maybe nobody. Maybe a class-action firm. Very probably nobody, but it's an interesting legal question. The only aspect that damages you is that for instance there are more than 100,000 people on the ladder I don't see how that is damage at law. So, yeah, it's obviously fraud committed by Blizzard I'm dense. I still don't see that it's obviously fraud... ? For example... I own a jewelry shop. I see you looking at rings. I know you believe the ring you are interested in is real gold. Ordinarily gold rings cost $100, but I will sell you THIS ring for $80, I tell you. You accept. That's fraud. Fraud is a very serious accusation - you are basically saying Blizzard intentionally scammed people out of money. Doing their jobs incompetently is a slightly different matter - you might go to misrepresentation, or even negligence, but it's not clear what duty of care a game company owes to a gaming community... though I would be really interested to hear if someone knew cases/theory on that. The main question I am wondering though, is what is the legal harm? Even if there is a duty-of-care to gaming communities by game companies, what loss was suffered? To avoid misrepresentation - I'm not a lawyer, I'm just interested. | ||

My hopes were crushed after really getting into for a year, SC2 was not what I had hoped it to be. When I had first heard about plans to release SC:RM, I was hopeful. I was hopeful that my favourite game would be popular so that I could enjoy it with everyone else without having them be put off by how old BW is. It has not been a year since its release... I haven't even had the time to play BW since more than one year ago, but I just wish that more people would be able to share in the joy of what I experience in playing BW. Hence I remain hopeful. | ||

It's scary, cause with them announcing WoW Vanilla servers to come in the future, I have a feeling this won't be the last time they do this. It's like they can't seem to figure out what people loved about their old games. Or maybe they just don't want to. BW is my favourite spectator esport; WoW is my favourite game (was). Being a fan of both has been rough since 2010/12. | ||

I really dislike current situation of SC  they're pushing some minor updates once in a while, ignoring major problems (especially the ones which were absent before on 1.16.1). Population is so low due to devs not executing their promises. Nothing has changed. And I hate launcher so much: it takes 2-3 min. at start for me to get SC started for first (Compared to 5 sec. before and I'm not playing on potato, it's i5). Menus when transitioning are also kinda laggy. This game needs more attention and more devs. I'm sure if they were pushing updates every month like WoW this game could get fixed less than year fully! | ||

BW surely would not have been "revived" in foreigner land, but more old players actually would have played more than 10 games if some key features would have been implemented at RM's release. You have to be realistic, though. BW is 21 years old. We're in oldtimer territory now. Basically, BW players are like those dudes who like to meet up with their GTs and Mustangs from the 70s. | ||
