Evony Game Cash Grab Stops
While Evony has experienced plenty of success in the MMO gaming world, but they haven’t had it all smooth sailing – with the likes of eldery blogger Bruce on Games trying to move in on their turf and cash in on the success Evony has had in their short lives.
Everiss (Bruce on Games.com) is a retired computer man who had a background in gaming many moons ago – who seemingly regularly finds himself being served a summons or two, has he seems to take a dim view of modern games and takes things very personally.
In the instance of Evony, after Everiss published scathing reviews – he proceeded to spam the developers in all avenues possible. This kind of action saw him chased in court by Evony after their attempts to discuss things civilly with him failed.
But it went further …
Despite court action, everiss developed youtube videos and published personal details of the owners of the game and the whole time he was trying to grab cash from his readers to fund his war on evony.
However it might be over. It seems that in the past 24 hours or so, Everiss has removed the money-grabbing app from his site and with the widget removed, there is little evidence of the carnage before – where everiss went after evony full tilt, grabbing what money he could for himself along the way.
But as the gaming world looks to relax and enjoy games; is it over?
Whats to stop someone like everiss taking aim at a new game in the future? For everiss, an elderly resident of the UK – he was virtually protected from legal action by his location. With many of the new MMORPG games coming out of China, whats to stop someone like Everiss holding them to ransom again and hiding behind the laws of his country?
Fortunately for gaming fans, evony has survived and hopefully new titles can do the same. People power always wins over in the end – and it seems one disrupting voice can’t stop the enjoyment of millions.
