Goodbye World of Warcraft

[Logan Darklighter]

There's just no way this is actually going to get implemented.  It'll be shot down hard and soon.  This is illegal in several countries in which WoW is popular.
In other words, yes this is a horrible stupid idea, but I don't think we really have to worry about it.  It's a numbskull suit decision that won't make it much further at all.

Interesting that you should mention this idea.
Because further info has come up suggesting that one of the drivers of this policy is South Korean and Chinese laws that have recently been implemented.

EDIT: Found another article with more detail, at least about the Chinese law.
