In the middle of last month we reported that Blizzard wanted $8.5 million USD from bot site Bossland, a site whose bots allowed players to cheat in games like Overwatch. Now, as reported by Torrentfreak and the BBC, Bossland has been ordered to pay that amount.
The court ordered Bossland to pay that amount in damages, but that's not all, as Bossland has also been prohibited from selling products in the US. The whole court order can be read here, detailing all the measures taken against Bossland.
Furthermore, if you try to access Bossland's website, you are met with the following message: "On 16th March 2017, Bossland GmbH, and its directors Mr Zwetan Letschew and Mr Patrick Kirk admitted, in and for the purposes of proceedings before the High Court of England and Wales, that the sale of its software which it sells as Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy, Demonbuddy, Hearthbuddy, Stormbuddy and Watchover Tyrant, to any person resident in the United Kingdom, constitutes an infringement of Blizzard's intellectual property rights and an inducement to players of Blizzard's games to breach their agreements with Blizzard. Accordingly, Bossland and its directors are no longer permitted to advertise or offer for sale such software to UK residents."
Do you think these are reasonable measures?
Thanks, PC Gamer.
