I have to wonder, why leave the wiggle room and ambiguity?
Why, pray tell, don't they just outright forbid all mods/3rd party programs, announcing that all players will play the game the same way, without any modification?
Why would they not do this? Sure would seem to cut out the bullshit and ambiguity.
At any rate, is it safe for me to assume that you have conceded that what you said was a fact was in fact not a fact but your wild speculation based on a misunderstanding on your part?
Not happening. I see it as a fact that the language is purposely obtuse for the purpose of allowing [specifically] MB programs, specifically for the purpose of garnering bonus sales numbering in the thousands per quarter worldwide.
Why the ambiguity and seemingly contradictory statements from Blizz Blues? If you can reasonably explain that to me, I might be willing to concede.
From a Blue quote I posted above (I noticed when you quoted my quote, you removed the "not" from it). Why?
"Third party programs are NOT allowed, period".
But then they effectively say "Some are, but we won't tell you which ones. Use at your own risk".
WTF is the deal with that? Why not just stick to their original statement of "NOT allowed, period"? If none were allowed, then we're not having this discussion. But for some reason, they obtusely throw in an ambiguous caveat.
I submit it as fact that this is due to increased sales potential from a rather benign program that allows multiple accounts to be controlled simultaneously. what other reason could there be for the use of such ambiguous, contradictory language?
I want to add, I'm not trying to paint Blizz as a greedy, scrupulous corporation. I was one of the loudest voices here praising Blizzard for the difficult decision to take the AH's down, and adding, that this displays clearly that the integrity of their game is more important than the ancillary profits the AH's provided them.
If mutliboxing doesnt really give you any advantages then why bother? You gotta pay for the mod and 3 other keys. I dont get basic logic. As a user can you explain it to me.
Ya, its not a mod or hack by definition. The one thing we can call it in reguards to diablo3 is that it is a 3rd party app since its not made by blizz.
