Simply put, Mr. Gore, along with actress Winona Ryder, is being subpoenaed to testify in a lawsuit against publishers of World of Warcraft. This is the fourth (and allegedly ‘final’) games-related court case filed by American gamer Erik Estavillo.
Prior to this, Mr. Estavillo has taken Sony to court, after he was banned from Resistance: Fall of Man for “inappropriate behaviour”. More recently, Microsoft were in the firing line, due to the “undue stress” he suffered after his Xbox 360 started showing the dreaded Red Ring of Death. Nintendo didn’t miss out either, with their suit arriving after the 4.3 Wii firmware update disabled the console’s Homebrew Channel.
This time around, Activision Blizzard are in trouble for “deceitful business practices” because characters in World of Warcraft move too slowly, meaning gamers have to spend large amounts of time travelling from place to place. Faster transportation is only achieved once a player has levelled up, or once they fork out for an expansion pack. Obviously, both of these options are all part of a clever ploy to generate more money from subscriptions – and Mr. Estavillo would like a million bucks as an apology.
