Inmate sues Blizzard over World of Warcraft

By Dawn Wilkins • November 5, 2008

It's Blizzard's fault that I think I'm a talking bull...

In one of the most wonderful display of attention-whoring we’ve ever seen, South Carolina inmate Jonathan Lee Riches has filed a third-party motion in the Federal Court in Arizona against is Blizzard, specifically at their famous MMORPG, World of Warcraft.

Riches has previously filed handwritten lawsuits against celebrities and politicians.

The reasons given for the lawsuit was that World of Warcraft allegedly “…caused Riches’ mind to live in a virtual universe where Riches explored the landscape of committing identify theft…Riches was addicted to video games and lost touch with reality…”

And, “Riches chose World of Warcraft over working a legit job.”

Now really, who’s fault is that?

We’ll keep you updated on developments…

  3. He’s suing Blizzard because he started committing identity theft? Or considered it, whatever.
    That makes no sense!

  7. this guy is pathetic. putting all the responsibility he/she should have on others. so in short if you get married you need someone beside your bed to teach you how to screw you wife. when you have babies after casual sex then blame the govt for not providing you free condoms.LOL pathetic.

  8. he is right about losing touch with reality – especially if he thinks he can win this lawsuit.
