If anything, you should care Jack. In fact you should care a great deal.

To put it bluntly, ANY company that does direct work on a MMO (I,e, distributing it, creating it, etc.) not only has the possibility of being sued for a LOT of money because of this, but also if they can't pay up, they could be forced to shut down.

Worse, if Worlds.com is successful, it doesn't matter who they go up against if they've built up enough steam first. Sure it means they probably will go after WoW last, but by the time they do they may very well have enough leverage to seriously hurt Blizzard, the game itself, and possibly (all though indirectly) the players.

And yes, this has the possibility to get even worse. MMOs are just the tip of the iceberg. This actually does have the real possibility of giving them leverage to non MMO games, and possibly even mobile phones, just to name a few (after all, some guy found a way to play City of heroes on his iPhone a while back, meaning they could sue Apple for helping provide access to 'their' technology).

So by saying you don't want to hear about this stuff, you're basically saying you don't want to know why your MMO of choice may very well take a big hit money wise, or even shut down because of this. Nor do you want to know why other things that might not even be directly involved with this are taking hits that could hurt you in other ways.

Worlds.com will not be successful this is not the first time this kind of people trying to make money out of the mmo business they did not go behind blizzard right away like they have some real lawers so they try with the NCsoft first and even if they win they just want money... They do not want to shutdown NCsoft or any other just is money and its all about money. If they come close they will just settle!

Wierd - for some reason my reply went to the wrong place - oh well.

No offence Jack, but if you don't want this kind of article DON'T READ IT!!!! This IS Game news. Just because it is not the kind you are interested in, does not change a thing.

Point is, that they are going after what they see as the weakest in the herd. IF they take down NCSoft, games you do care about are likely (almost guaranteed) to be effected.

If you want to contribute to the conversation, do so. If not, then leave us alone. We don't need trolls.
