Blizzard Sues Grandma for Selling Cookies in Goldshire
In a shocking turn of events, Blizzard Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against an elderly woman for running a baked goods business in the popular World of Warcraft location.
75-year-old Mildred Jenkins, also known as ‘Cookie Grandma’ in the gaming community, has been a beloved figure in Goldshire for years. Her homemade cookies were a hit among players, who often stopped by to purchase them with in-game gold.
However, Blizzard claims that Jenkins’ cookie operation violates their intellectual property rights, as the cookies were shaped like iconic WoW items such as Hearthstones and mana potions. The company is seeking damages for copyright infringement and loss of potential revenue.
In response to the lawsuit, Jenkins stated, ‘I just wanted to make people happy with my cookies. I never thought I’d end up in court over virtual pastries.’ The gaming community has rallied behind her, with many starting a petition to support ‘Cookie Grandma.’
Blizzard’s legal actions have sparked outrage online, with players accusing the company of targeting a harmless grandmother for a trivial matter. The hashtag #JusticeForCookieGrandma has been trending on social media, with memes and fan art circulating in support of Jenkins.
As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: even in the world of Azeroth, no one is safe from Blizzard’s legal wrath. Whether you’re a seasoned raider or a sweet old lady selling cookies, be prepared to face the consequences of crossing the gaming giant.
