Relate yourself to real world, if the government has a law which states the following "if a citizen breaks his car's stop lamps he's bound by law to repair them asap" , and then lets everyone travel with cars with broken stop lamps, even under their officers eyes, what would you think of said government?
1) it's a shitty and incompetent government, not even able to enforce it's own laws.
2) if you break your own car's stop lamps why on earth should you observe the law and repair them if noone is doing that? 1- Blizzard is not an authority 2- Blizzard can not make laws 3- Blizzard over can make rules with in the laws of countries 4- Blizzard must present said rules at the time of purchase 5- Blizzard fails to do that
You are consider "blizzard" as authority in the moment you sign the ToS.
You consider "government" as autority the moment you are born.
The law is always active
The ToS is limited by it's terms.
The only difference is that the ToS is optional and specific. By not signing it blizzard has no authority towards you, whatsoever.

Wow that's pretty ridiculous. Is account sharing really that big of a problem? And if it is, is it actually something that they can enforce unilaterally. Yeah, maybe they can find out about TLO and Huk, but I'm not so sure that all the other anonymous random people that share accounts they're ever going to find out about.
|
Blizzard is pure bullshit. Pros are the guys who really are promoting the game, and they come with his fking money hunger.
|
Sounds stupid but its clearly written in the Terms of Use. And of course, nobody ever reads the Terms of Use and accepts them anyways. Its just a matter if a company decides to enforce it or not.
|
so will blizzard punish FXO for all sharing an account in korea? will blizzard punish the oGs team for having a shared account on NA? those dam...
|
what is this O_O a direct call to 'warn' progamers about EULA?? somehow i hope blizzard focus more on making the game better than doing some nonsense like this.
or, maybe, they just wanna find an excuse to 'chat up' HuK etc progamers lol

1.Authority to what? Their own games and services, yes.
2.Who says they are making up laws, just only you. They're making terms and conditions for you to play their own games and services.
3.Same as above, they're not making up laws... just only terms and conditions in a contract/license.
4.From all Blizzard games I have purchased, they state that the product is subject to the EULA inside the product and/or website on the cover. People just overlook it. Besides, Blizzard does try to offer a full refund within 30 days of purchase should you disagree with the EULA.
5.Elaborate.

"BREAKING NEWS:
Blizzard forces one of the conjoined twins to close eyes when the legal owner of a copy of StarCraft 2 is playing it."
|
I think it's because blizzard invite people to blizzcon based on there ladder record and TLO account is now ranked 1 on the ladder after Huk playing on it.
|
well, they went against the ToS, nothing more to add.

and this. LOL looks like blizzard has some phone calls to make whenever GSTL is on!

Really dislike Blizzard for this. I don't see how they have the authority to choose who can access the software. So, when I let my younger brother play on my account, I'm breaking the ToS? They can shove it.

Somebody from a entertainment business contacted a consumer about his possession and use of the company's retail entertainment product. What is going on in this world where people actually defend this?

to play in KR, you have to be korean (to have KSSN), so all the non-koreans playing in KR aren't allowed?
this is just an example, since they're enforcing that(OP), this also should be enforced. be consistent.
|
Im pretty sure that in the early GSTL players used a team account like: oGs/IM. Thats a few players playing on one account, whats up Blizzard?
|
The reason people are pissed is because none of these things were an issue in bw. We wait 12 years to get a brand new starcraft game and its missing a lot of the features we had from a game made in the 90s!
HotS Terms of Service: All your life are belong to blizzard.
"But it's in the ToS you agreed to it!" durr
The fact that something is a rule or law doesn't make it exempt from criticism and ridicule.

Why not use a banner for the scores that covers up the players names so put Huk instead of TLO.
|
one game should have access to all servers. this is the probleme here

All Korean SC2 teams share the same account during GSTL. That should be illegal too, then, no? No, because custom games have no influence on the ladder. Seriously, why do you think it is okay for HuK to play ladder on TLO's account, thus boosting TLO's rating and keeping his account in GM while he can't even play due to his injury? Not to mention HuK even streamed that. Obviously Blizzard doesn't care if you account share some custom games in a tournament, they just don't want people boosting others on the ladder. I challenge you to quote the part of the ToS that says "you are only disallowed from sharing accounts when laddering" Why would Blizzard not turn a blind eye to account sharing that does not involve laddering?
That was the point he was trying to make. A lot of people have said that blizzard wouldnt have cared if they were only playing customs. Which im sure isnt allowed by the TOS either. The whole situation is a mess. He needed to practice. HIs mmr is to high for bnet to match him(a problem i wouldnt mind having) so he borrows a friends. They could`ve offered him a free one(or a guest pass) and asked him not to play on TLO`s rather than threatening the two of them. Wouldve been better from a PR standpoint at least

True, if you boycott it they will be forced to change the terms.
But people accept it, and then complain, W T F.
