Blizzard Sends Cease and Desist to Clothiers Selling In-Game Robes

In a shocking turn of events, Blizzard has taken legal action against online retailers selling real-life versions of in-game robes, claiming copyright infringement.

Players looking to bring a touch of Azeroth into their everyday lives have been left disappointed after Blizzard’s legal team cracked down on businesses selling replica in-game robes. The move has sparked outrage in the WoW community, with many questioning why the company would target such a niche market.

One retailer, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed their frustration, stating, ‘I was just trying to cater to the cosplay community and give fans a way to show their love for the game. I never expected to be hit with a cease and desist.’

Meanwhile, Blizzard has defended its actions, with a spokesperson stating, ‘We take our intellectual property rights very seriously and will not hesitate to take legal action against those who infringe upon them.’ The company has advised players to only purchase officially licensed merchandise from the Blizzard Gear Store.

The news has left many players scratching their heads, wondering what this means for the future of WoW fashion. Will we see a crackdown on all fan-made merchandise? Only time will tell.
