Blizzard is reported to have won $6 million in their lawsuit against MDY Industries, the makers the WoWGlider which was recently ruled to violate World of Warcraft's end user license agreement.

World of Warcraft creator Blizzard looks set to get $6m (£3.36m) from the makers of a software 'bot'.

The cash is part of a deal brokered by Blizzard and MDY Industries - the maker of the WoWGlider software 'bot.

Blizzard embarked on the case against MDY claiming that the World of Warcraft Glider software produced by the company infringed its copyright.

The Glider software lets Warcraft players automate many of the repetitive steps the game involves.

When the money comes from cheating scumbags who ruin the game experience of everybody else, I say GO GO GO BLIZZARD - MAKE 'EM PAY.

Keep in mind that even if you don't approve of WoW or Blizzard, this may very well deter the cheaters from going after other MMOs. A win win for everybody unless you're a cheater.

Apparently the $6 million is ready for immediate payment - they've been farming a spawn on Wilshire Boulevard for the last 11 days.

Don''t cry if you don''t like a game. Find another and have fun!
It''s a more healthy tactic :)

Good for Blizzard.
At least they decided to take care of the bot problem.
Maybe people will actually pay more attention to the EULA now.

I wonder if this is enough money to put them out of business. Hope so. Are they a big company?

I don't think it was sarcasm.
Questing is not grinding...
if you ARE just grinding mobs, you're just ridiculous in a quest based game.
You can blow through WoW easily by questing.

You should pick up a Hack n' Slash game.
