Blizzard Sends Cease and Desist to Player’s Grandma for Knitting WoW-themed Sweaters

In a shocking move, Blizzard’s legal team has set their sights on a new target—grandmas who love to knit.

Players on World of Warcraft private servers are used to receiving cease and desist letters from Blizzard, but the latest target of the gaming giant’s legal team has left the community scratching their heads. This time, it’s not a server shutdown or a bot ban that has Blizzard up in arms, but rather a sweet elderly woman who just wanted to show her love for her grandchild’s favorite game.

According to reports, Margaret Johnson, a 78-year-old grandmother from Iowa, has been knitting World of Warcraft-themed sweaters for her grandson and his friends for years. The colorful sweaters feature iconic WoW characters and symbols, and have become a hit among the gaming community. However, Blizzard claims that Johnson’s creations infringe upon their intellectual property rights, and have demanded that she cease and desist all knitting activities immediately.

Players have taken to social media to express their outrage at Blizzard’s latest move, with many calling it a step too far. Some have even started a petition to show their support for Johnson and her adorable creations. Meanwhile, Johnson herself remains unfazed, continuing to knit sweaters in defiance of the legal threat.

When reached for comment, a Blizzard spokesperson stated, ‘While we appreciate the creativity and passion of our fans, we must protect our intellectual property rights at all costs. Knitting WoW-themed sweaters without our permission is a clear violation of our terms of use, and we will not hesitate to take legal action.’

As the community waits to see how this bizarre saga unfolds, one thing is for certain—Blizzard’s legal team shows no signs of slowing down when it comes to protecting their precious IP, even if it means going after innocent grandmas with knitting needles.
