Most Terms of Service have never been tested in court, if you read through the average ToS it basically grants every right known to man to the company

he sarcasm aside, Glider never actually communicates with Blizzard's servers, it's access is strictly local. The WoW client does any and all interactions with the server. Violating the Terms of Service is welcoming account closure and any number of other actions Blizzard is entitled to attempt but that's on a case by case basis.

ET:QW uses similiar technology

Yeah, I think I want 10 year old gameplay please.

I am saying technically they are not really different physically.

Since they aren't "selling it"

Blizzard has no right to tell me what I do or don't inject into the ram of my computer. The memory is present in my computer, their product loads itself into my property and I can do whatever I want with it from there. Their Terms of Service can claim they have the right but until it's tested in court then no one will know for sure.

What matters is the actual software. People buy hardware to run software. So go make your game kick ass and stop your compulsive thinking on the subject.

Anyone still playing Halo PC needs to go download Steam and pick up Team Fortress 2 cause they clearly haven't got a clue what GOOD team-based multiplayer FPS gamepaly is like.

Since assuming visual quality scales linearly with FPS

The difference being that PC hard disks aren't more expensive than their weight in gold like MS's proprietary 360 ripoff.

"Nobody move!! I lost my contact lens!"

But anyways, have you noticed that in many of the last 471,932 patches they've patched only a small handful of problems, many of which are ridiculously minor? *moved that spot on the wall over an inch, changed the color of that brick by one shade of gray, etc* Here's an idea...how about instead of releasing a new patch every two days for patch release publicity to the very few websites that actually note it anymore, you instead combine them over a longer period of time into something actually halfway significant and THEN release it! *gasp* Oh know, they are on to us!

yah. i definitely hate corporate documents that have a need to describe the fact that it wasn't someone's error in creating a blank page. a blank page is a beautiful thing.
