Comments on: Japanese “Overwatch hostess club” banned as soon as it opened, likely for breaching Blizzard’s EULA

The likeness and usage are all owned by Blizzard. They can go after them for that. The promotion of “flirty” matches and or unauthorized services should also fall under solicitation.

In order to get right of their site or whatever that takes sending a cease and desist but removing of their X style advertisements are easier and faster. It’s not fair use and all falls under copyright.

I’m not sure why you think they wouldn’t have power over this.

Blizzard not EA (correction to a other comment first paragraph)

I saw several write ups about the story but all of them keep saying that they were banned due to violating EA’s terms of service.

But how does Blizzard’s terms of service have anything to do with X/Twitter suspending them?

Why would they ban an account for violating Blizzard’s TOS, when X won’t ban people who post some pretty raucous images or and won’t ban ror almost anything…but a tos violation in a blizzard game? No there’s much more to this story than something so simple I think. Just seems out of place for X to enforce something so trivial in terms of eula violation on a third party game.
