• Bossland GmbH (Maker of Honorbuddy) Files New Lawsuit Against Activision Blizzard

    If you've been following the Blizzard Entertainment vs Bossland GmbH lawsuit, this is big news. I did an interview with Hawker awhile back that gave us some indication that Bossland GmbH had been prepping up and insulating their company against a lawsuit by Blizzard Entertainment for a long while, but now the unexpected has happened.

    On January 9, 2012 at 18:40, Bossland GmbH formally announced on their official website that they will seek recompense from Activision Blizzard in a lawsuit in which Bossland GmbH and their legal representatives assert that Blizzard's End User License Agreement and Terms of Service were not a part of the game's purchase contract, and that the EULA and ToS are, "...intransparent, surprising, and incomprehensible..."

    The lawsuit will be handled by the court in Berlin, and the German rejoinder can be found at
    this link for those interested. As always, we wish Bossland GmbH the best in their battle against Activision Blizzard. MMOGlider was not fortunate enough to have the legal insulation and preparedness for an onslaught from Blizzard Entertainment's lawyers. but perhaps Bossland GmbH will level the playing field and change the precedent in the ongoing legal battles between game developers and third-party software developers.

    For more information, stay tuned to Ownedcore as well as Bossland GmbH's official Honorbuddy forums.

      Well me as a proud customer of Honorbuddy, I am very happy that HB is standing up to Blizzard and well all i can say is even if Hb loses the first case they can appeal to a higher court which in return takes forever and they would be able to run for a quite bit longer. But this is just the start and the good thing Germany unlike the US gives the small man a fair chance at a case rather than the US were our politicians and judges can be easily bribed with cash.

      Disgusting. If they win, there's a chance that any and all future games might have to have more bullshit put onto the box or the order form, which people won't read (just like the EULA now) all because some jerkoff company from Germany thought it was a good idea to take the fun out of playing a video game and are now trying to weasel their way out of clearly being in the wrong.

      Nah, this is piss-ants at work. what they are doing clearly breaches the contract they agreed upon. It's like the typical street bum who collects welfare and poverty benefits from his government for being lazy, and spends his days throwing himself in front of buses or spilling hot mcdonalds coffee on himself all day in hopes of landing himself a decent lawsuit.

      Better hope Germany is already on the US's Trade Blacklist, otherwise they will be supported and influenced heavily by the US e.g. Blizzard.

      You forget that there was no contract in the first place, when you take German law.

      Actually, under any Western country's system of law, the ToS / EULA are completely illegal in and of themselves. So, yeah.

      Yea how about the part where most MMO's feature in game "BOTs" SWTOR your team farms. WoW is just hell bent on being 10 yrs behind the curve these days because hey at one time we were the best. Now it's a casual gamers delight paragon raiders are not half the skill of the Nihilum SK etc etc etc not saying they are not good players but the game doesnt take high caliber players to do anything. You can throw piss at 10m bosses and get realm firsts, albeit worthless realm firsts that give nothing but your GM a guild achieve.
