Another article that highlighs inherent flaws in the American legal system. How can this potentially be an actual lawsuit? How can “journalists” even entertain reporting on this?

Honestly I’m just posting to laugh at my fellow lemmings responses and watch see how the plaintiff is roasted for not gitting gud.

But, there is a real conversation here around continued ignorance of game development and the value of difficult games as a value proposition. Afterall, the person attempting to sue from did choose to purchase the games willingly knowing they’re not for scrub casuals like themselves.

What do you all think, is difficulty gating content a real issue? Should dev’s have some kind of legal requirement to appease players that can spec a build properly? Is it Thursday and I’m just looking for some easy laughs at a morons expense?

    Many games, have varying difficulty levels. AFAIK movies have never had anything like that.

    I have also seen cuts of movies that were horrible, and then an alternative cut is released that is leaps and bounds better.

        To be fair they’re still right to say that there are no difficulty settings on that film, it’s just set at fuck you difficulty from the beginning
