Blizzard Sends Cease and Desist to Grandma’s WoW Private Server for ‘Infringing on Nostalgia Rights’
In a shocking turn of events, Blizzard has set its sights on shutting down a private server run by a sweet old lady who just wanted to relive the good ol’ days of vanilla WoW.
Known affectionately as ‘Grandma’s WoW Server’, the private realm has been a safe haven for players looking to escape the grind of retail WoW and bask in the warm glow of nostalgia. However, Blizzard’s legal team has deemed the server a threat to their ‘nostalgia rights’ and has issued a cease and desist order to shut it down.
Players on the server are devastated by the news, with many taking to social media to express their outrage. One player tweeted, ‘First they came for our lootboxes, now they’re coming for Grandma’s server. What’s next, banning murloc plushies?’ The community is calling for a boycott of Blizzard products in protest.
In response to the backlash, Blizzard released a statement saying, ‘While we appreciate the passion of our players, we must protect our intellectual property at all costs. Nostalgia is a valuable commodity, and we cannot allow private servers to dilute its value.’ The statement was met with widespread eye-rolling and sarcastic memes.
As the drama continues to unfold, players are left wondering what the future holds for Grandma’s WoW Server. Will she be able to fight back against the corporate juggernaut that is Blizzard Entertainment? Only time will tell.
