As reported by the BBC, Blizzard has sued the creator of a program, or "bot," known as MMO Glider. According to the MMO Glider site, the "tool...plays your World of Warcraft character for you, the way you want it. It grinds, it loots, it skins, it heals, it even farms soul shards...without you."
Blizzard's court filing asserts that "Blizzard's designs expectations are frustrated, and resources are allocated unevenly, when bots are introduced into the WoW universe, because bots spend far more time in-game than an ordinary player would and consume resources the entire time," according to the BBC.
Blizzard also argues that Glide infringes its copyright, the BBC writes, "because it copies the game into RAM in order to avoid detection by anti-cheat software."

If there's a settlement, does that resolve this prediction at S$0 or S$100?
There's no chance the case will be heard to conclusion by the end of the month. It's unlikely to even get close to a settlement in that time.
