EPTWTF this would have never been a problem if there was the possibility of free name change. Because Blizz wasn't worried about the sharing "in general" but about the "we show the sharing on stream for thousands of viewers". Nobody would have even had a clue if it was "LiquidHuK" playing all along...

Both the accounts have been paid for, and the owners should be free to do whatever they want to with them. Not true, you accepted the terms of yawnyawnyawn and therefore you can be punished if you don't respect them. But Blizzard is not to blame here, they "allow" shared accounts. But they don't like it when you show 10 000 people that you are breaking the rules. | ||

That's the reason why in Austria/Germany EULAs and similar stuff is a one click ignore thing. It's a customer protection mechanism against fraud and it's good that way. No. Just no! Please we discussed the legal terms at length earlier in this thread, do not start to spread those missleading half-truths again. You are wrong. The reason why most people regard EULAs as a "one-click-ignore" thing, is because they can't be bothered to read them and most of what is written in them is common sense anyway. The specific clause they are being warned about is common sense and standard fare for such agreements, meaning you should expect a similar clause to be part of the EULA/TOS even BEFORE you buy the game.

Tournaments get clearance from Blizzard to do this. I think it is probably all mentioned in the contract which allows tournaments to use Starcraft II. | ||

I also studied Law in Austria and actually I disagree with most of what you've said.....I don't know much about this kind of things, but you do, in fact, have to know about the EULA before you conclude the contract. Then again, I guess it says so somewhere on the box/etc. | ||

I have to say here, I'm not a "lawyer" but a "legal scholar" at the university...which means, I don't really care as much about how things are handled, but about the underlying dogmatics. Meaning, if this is indeed lawful, regardless of what others might or might not think. Here, we have to distinguish between the content of the EULA and the question if the contract even contains the EULA. Meaning, say I'm selling you my car and when you take place you find 200 pages of additional agreements on the driver's seat that stipulate all kinds of stuff. Obviously you can lit these 200 papers on fire, we never agreed on any of that. Regradless if the actual content of the 200 papers made sense or not. | ||

It's true though, many european countries don't really put any legality in TOS/EULA. However, that doesn't stop blizzard from banning your account if you break it. | ||

If I start a thread about iNcontroL eating babies will people then throw their hate against him? On June 25 2011 07:13 Batch wrote: Why do everyone blindly believe it really was Blizzard who called? I'm quite sure it just was someone trolling. A big gaming company like Blizzard don't spend the time searching for the phone number and calling the host of a small german LAN competition to tell him that one of the players should stop using another players account. If they would do anything then they would send an email to TLOs battle.net 2.0 registered email adress and ask him to stop sharing his account. | ||

If it wasn't Blizzard calling, then they surely would've called later saying that this wasn't them so people stop hating. Some common sense people... | ||

I find it actually unbelievable that they made the same mistake as in wc3...MMR should always be capped relative to the MMR of the other topranked players. It shouldn't even be possible in theory to have such high MMR that the matchmaking doesn't work any more. Pretty big fail on the programming part, tbh. | ||
