12 Days of Joyswag: Nintendo 3DS plus eight games (and a ton of Skylanders)

I play portable games in the evening at my house.

Blizzard sued by unofficial WoW guide author

Mar 28th 2006 9:35PM (Joystiq)

Blizzard is not at all in the right here people. Tons of games and software programs have had unauthorized guides released for them. I have an unauthorized guide to Doom II in my basement, along with some of those old school paperback guides to NES games. Both of which you could buy in any bookstore back in the day.

I fail to see how this is any different, with the exception that the WOW guide probably uses more screenshots.

Why should Blizzard care anyway? People who but a WOW guide are obviously WOW players, so they're not losing any money, and may in fact gain if players purchase a guide in lieu of cancelling their account.

That being said, I have no idea why anyone buys game guides at all, since gamefaqs is free.
