Blizzard/Activision pissed off about a mod...

...for being too good? Well, that's what the maker of the Starcraft 2 mod called 'World of Starcraft' thinks.

The name "World of Starcraft" is actually owned by Blizzard so, might be more than an idea.

Er from what I gathered as this unfolded that's the point: copyright infringement of the name. It's nothing about quality of the mod or something like that.

In a statement released to all sorts of places last night, they confirmed they’re not going to block the mod’s ongoing development.
