You know what, we wrote to Blizzard and they don't tell us what should we do to make BarCraft online again. We must talk to davinci all by our self. Let me quote - "Blizzard is not in the position to discuss the legalities of the claim". Which means, put BarCraft aside,if you are a modder and you made a custom map in StarCraft II arcade, you can be easily destroyed by malicious prosecution. As long as there are someone sued you and said you are violating DMCA or something like that, and they don't withdrawal of the suit (of course they don't, they are just trouble maker), YOUR GAME WILL BE DEAD FOREVER. unless you hire a lawyer and win the case, but you know the price, it will take you at least half a year and tons of dollars and remember you can't make profit from StarCraft II custom map at all. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Blizzard will just be a looker. | ||

Your grasp of the copyright system and laws in the United States and as they apply to American companies is deeply flawed. Or it is, if you are only now realizing how it works between content creators and content hosts. Blizzard is not involved. You and the other claimant are. It is EXACTLY the same as YouTube. Whether the content is a map, a song, a piece of poetry, it doesn't matter. And all this talk of "you can't copyright game mechanics" crap makes me think you've never heard of TSR, Inc, which made itself a lot of money doing exactly that. Or Wizards of the Coast. TL;dr - you're wrong, your argument is flawed, sorry but this happens in the world outside China. | ||

But maybe you can check this out: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/05/apple-lodsys-response/ and this: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-06-19-tetris-clone-loses-potentially-significant-court-battle These materials are some friend send to us by email, and it will be helpful if you can send me some materials about TSR, Inc and Wizards of the Coast. But they are board game companies, right? I don't know if video game industry have a same rule. And we can't afford a lawyer in America. | ||

Yes, Chinese game industry(and maybe the whole IT industry) are famous for stealing, and we are shamed about that either, and if we wanted to be a part of that we won't make games on SC2 arcade at all,because all custom maps are amateur games without profiting. | ||

BarCraft introduced the Rage-System, which Bang! has not, plus BC has much more cards and heros. " | ||
