My first reaction was "I bet this violates the ToS".



It is opt-in, so if you don't like the idea you don't have to participate. I think that's the best of both worlds.


If it's on the official site it doesn't violate the ToS by definition.


Yes, for the game creator but if anyone else where to do it it would be "BANNED" which is the point of this comment chain "do as we say not as we do".


This is just silly. I'm allowed to go into my house whenever I want and you aren't. That isn't me being a hypocrite, people who own things just have more rights to those things.


I think that can be problematic in some cases (third party browsers on iOS) but video games are not that important.


It's just amusing a company that sued individuals/companies for selling digital currency for World of Warcraft and has banned accounts from various games for relatively simple bots like mining and fishing in WoW, is going to allow much more 'intelligent' software to play against people.
