Long-time World of Warcraft fan Antonio Hernandez has had a gut-full of gold farmers, so much so that he's filed a class-action suit against gold farming company IGE. He claims:
[IGE have] made a calculated decision to reap substantial profits by knowingly interfering with and substantially impairing the intended use and enjoyment [of the game].
Which...might be true, but sounds a little too whiney. What's needed is his lawyer, Richard Newsome, putting a better spin on it:
Guys like Tony have paid their $15 for some entertainment, and IGE is polluting that entertainment. It's kind of like, if someone pays for a ticket to go see a movie, and if someone else comes in behind them and kicks their seat, you can get them to stop doing that.
Much better. Hernandez probably doesn't have a snowball's chance in hades of getting anything out of this, but you've still got to love it when the little man makes a stand.
