Hurt, no treatment Made Jul 21, 2016, sent to the company Aug 2, 2016, published by CPSC Aug 16, 2016
The product, in the report: Internet Software manufactured and published by Blizzard Entertainment known as World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, an online MMORPG with both Client and Server software
On July 19th 2016 I became violently ill from an encounter with the game World of Warcraft manufactured and published by Blizzard entertainment. This attack happened as the result of a condition called BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), and was triggered by simulated on screen motion with the game. This did not occur prior to July 19th 2016 due in large part to the apparent camera distance value being much greater than it was prior to July 19th 2016. On July 19th 2016 Blizzard Entertainment released a client software update that removed the ability to increase the camera maximum distance via console command or set configuration variable in a config file and reduced the maximum camera distance and field of view to 20% less than it was prior to this date. The change in apparent camera distance triggered the BPPV which it had not done up until this time. I would like the CPSC to send Blizzard Entertainment a LOA to halt current production, and marketing and correct future production with an increase to the apparent camera distance and to reinstate the configuration variables and console commands that allowed me to enjoy the product I paid for without becoming nauseous, or falling out of my chair due to disorientation.
