WoW Inspired Decision Given By Judge

Perhaps this is a much cooler Azeroth to Earth reference.

The honorable (or should we say 'Exalted') Chief Judge of Delaware William B. Chandler III made a World of Warcraft-inspired decision arising out of a litigation case that links to the Activision-Blizzard merger. He proclaims:

'World of Warcraft, the market-leading massively multiplayer online role playing game, entices millions of paying subscribers to immerse themselves in a virtual online world. These subscribers create their own characters, and through these avatars they interact with other players, develop skills, create a unique jargon, join guilds and alliances, engage in battles, and embark on quests. . . . In some ways, perhaps, the world of Mergers and Acquisitions is a massively multiplayer role playing game as well. Like in World of Warcraft and other games, the participants in the M&A field take on certain roles, interact in their own community, hone specialized skills, and even develop a unique, somewhat curious vernacular. One particular quest in the world of M&A is disclosure litigation. In the instance of disclosure litigation presently pending before this Court, the world of M&A meets the World of Warcraft.'

As if that wasn't enough reference to video games, he even ended the whole thing with the ultimate phrase, 'GAME OVER.' Chandler III also made references to Ray Charles and even 50 cent in previous cases. This man has to be the coolest man in the world of law next to Phoenix Wright.
