    Seems like clickbait. In TWoW the general sentiment seems to be "oh well, anyway" because the owners operate in Russia so people don't seem all too worried. Will see what happens obviously but...

        This is a local American court case with no jurisdiction and no power in places like Russia, China, Kazakhstan, etc. Speculation for the time being seems to be they'll prevent Americans from accessing the servers and that that will be it.

              They did agree to that. The question is not their agreement but rather if they will comply. That is another matter.
