Blizzard Sends Cease and Desist to Grandma Running WoW Private Server from Nursing Home
In a shocking turn of events, Blizzard legal has set its sights on a new target: a sweet old lady who just wanted to play some classic WoW with her friends.
Gertrude Jenkins, 87, never thought her love for World of Warcraft would land her in hot water with the gaming giant. But after setting up a private server in her nursing home’s computer room, Blizzard wasted no time in sending her a cease and desist letter.
‘I just wanted to relive the glory days of raiding Molten Core,’ Jenkins lamented as she packed up her gaming rig. ‘I never meant to cause any trouble.’
While some players are outraged by Blizzard’s heavy-handed approach, others can’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation. One Twitter user quipped, ‘Who knew grandma was such a hardcore gamer?’
Blizzard legal team remains unmoved by the public outcry, stating, ‘We must protect the integrity of our intellectual property, even if it means taking down a nursing home server run by a little old lady.’
