“I can think of plenty more rational arguments against Blizzard why couldn’t they?”

Your arguments are not rational, and wouldn’t hold up in court. But if you feel that they are, you may also file an amicus brief. I’m sure the presiding judge could use the laughter.

Seems to me that Blizzard is conducting a bait and switch by selling something as a game but having a EULA that contradicts a games purpose which is to have fun.

When I go to the store to buy a game I expect that I should be able to play it with thirdparty software that improves the game play as long as it does not modify the game.

It this is not allowed then WoW should be required to be sold in a non game section since it is not being sold as a game and instead being turned into a legal tool where they want to pretend that the game is real and real world rules apply.

Also, I suspect that WoW has NPCs and they are bots yet they are not removed despite being third party software from the game client and not human played characters.

I can think of plenty more rational arguments against Blizzard why couldn’t they?

This quote from the Wikipedia discussion page regarding his entry seems to sum it up: “He is widely regarded to be a very clever comic essayist who’s chosen lawsuits as his medium. Or else he’s nuts, no one’s really sure.”

Don’t you have laws on vexatious litigation in the USA? We do in the UK – there’s even an online list of the 190 extant vexatious litigants (http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/infoabout/vexatious_litigant/index.htm). Riches would be the 191st on that list if he tried this kind of thing in our courts.
