Blizzard now claims full copyright for player-made “custom game” mods
Found on Ars Technica on Friday, 31 January 2020
As noted by PC Gamer, a recent update to Blizzard's Acceptable Use Policy expands the legal rights that custom-game makers automatically assign to Blizzard.
Under Blizzard's new legal language, any similar games created from the base of Reforged would be completely controlled by Blizzard. While other developers would be able to copy the general gameplay for their own purposes, any derivative games that use the same name, art, or characters would belong to Blizzard.
So, no more modding then. Unless you want to work for a multi-million company for free and get your work ripped right out of your hands without anything in return.
