Blizzard Entertainment Sues Turtle WoW Developers for Copyright Infringement
Blizzard Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against the team behind Turtle WoW, accusing the developers of profiting from Blizzard's protected code and game assets while undermining the integrity of World of Warcraft. Blizzard says that after decades of investment in WoW, projects like Turtle WoW devalue the game and harm the developers and artists who continue to create a unique gaming experience for both new and longtime players.
In the complaint, Blizzard alleges that Turtle WoW has operated using pirated clients and tools while offering its own additions, including the fan-made expansion Mysteries of Azeroth. The filing also highlights a teaser for a planned Turtle WoW 2.0 client built in Unreal Engine 5 as further evidence of the project's ambitions.
