Blizzard Acceptable Use Policy wrote: 3. Ownership.
Custom Games are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Blizzard. Without limiting the foregoing, you hereby assign to Blizzard all of your rights, title and interest in and to all Custom Games, and agree that should Blizzard decide that it is necessary, you agree to execute future assignments promptly upon receiving such a request from Blizzard. Additionally, Blizzard shall have the right to maintain the Custom Game on Blizzard’s Arcade service even if the developer of the Custom Game requests that Blizzard remove the Custom Game from the Arcade service.
Except to Blizzard?5. Commercial Exploitation of Custom Games.
Custom Game developers cannot develop Custom Games for profit at this time. Accordingly, a Custom Game cannot be sold, licensed, rented, nor can the Custom Game contain features that would support purchase transactions of any tangible or intangible content.
So does that mean #5 of the policy prevents Blizzard from sublicensing in 3C of the EULA?6. Incorporation of the Battle.net End User License Agreement.
The terms and conditions of the Battle.net End User License Agreement are specifically incorporated into this policy by this reference. In the event that the terms of this policy are in conflict with the terms of the Battle.net End User License Agreement, the terms of this Policy shall supersede and govern over any such conflicting terms in the Battle.net End User License Agreement.
Oh wow... That's hilarious.Chriso wrote: wait does this mean blizzard can force you to work for them?
New campaigns of some kind are a given, there's some in the works right now on sc2mapster with playable maps out, it's just the quality that's all over the place. It might pick up if Blizz actually release the art tools already, it's as if they're afraid of something.Chriso wrote:SC2s close to dead, doubt any new campaign will come outtf- wrote:It seems to be some kind of insurance in case someone makes a campaign that catches on with the fanbase better than their garbage. If that happens, they could just take it and do whatever.
The problem is doing this would be a PR disaster, any content grab of that type would be especially in today's vocal twittersphere gaming community. So what is the point of having all that again?
