Peace made between Blizzard and the modders of SCII

After receiving a job offer from Riot Games, the creator of World of StarCraft mod was invited by Blizzard to visit the offices of the company. The title of the mod, however, must be changed, since as reported by the same modder on their forum, World of StarCraft is a registered trademark of Blizzard.

The modder was contacted by Blizzard and explained to the authors of World of Warcraft that his mod is designed to stay allìinterno StarCraft II, contrary to the feared Blizzard. "I respect the intellectual property of Blizzard, they have trademark rights in the World of StarCraft and could not act otherwise to me." "We never had any intention to block the mod or inhibit the creativity of people who use our editor," said Blizzard in a press release "The name was too similar to World of Warcraft so we contacted the developer as we usually do by sending alerts on YouTube waiting to discuss it with him.

" "Furthermore, we were curious and wanted to better understand the characteristics of the project."
