Don't buy games from such vultures

I don't have time to check a video, but isn't it true for any service that it you don't agree to the new ToS, your contract is terminated?

What makes this case so special?

Edit: or is it that people only found out now that the games they bought were online-only and that they're at the mercy of the publisher?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Hmm, now if they were forced to export your data, if you don't agree.

Btw, there should really be some sort of legal "usage license" you can use with other providers, since you don't own the game you buy. If not, it's just a scam.

I haven't watched Louis' video, but I do have a Blizzard account, and up until a couple of days ago I had an active WoW subscription (ended because I wanted to play other games, not to make a point).

I didn't get presented with any new terms recently, presumably I will in the future should I decide to sign up again, or even dip in on a free trial account.

I did look up the terms though. I'm not in the US so it's not clear if I'd be bound by it anyway but not only do they have an opt-out clause (11.A.vi) they're actually less egregious than some EULAs, allowing opt-out via email, rather than requiring a mailed in letter (Roku) and being prominently highlighted at the top.

Lot of folks here dreaming about them going bankrupt, I have to say, I think that's wishful thinking. The current WoW expansion has been very successful with the highest signups and retention in a long time as they've apparently figured out what players actually want. Even without their other IP's they're doing ok.

OMG, Blizzard?! How could they?!? -.-
