The maker of the hugely popular online game, World of Warcraft, has changed its policy on gay teams following an outcry from many players.

Blizzard was accused of being heavy-handed by threatening to expel a player for advertising a gay-friendly team or guild.

Blizzard has officially apologised to the guild recruiter, saying the warning should never have been issued.

More than five million people regularly play World of Warcraft worldwide.


Best... gay Guild... name... ever: 'The Spreading Taint.'

PS: Before anyone gets upset about the thread title, I'm pretty geeky my own self (as if that weren't obvious).

Well, good for the Geek Community for sticking up for its gay brothers. I shall have to tell a semi-geeky (but non-gay) game-playing friend of mine. He will be *most* pleased.
