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?
I agree with the general sentiment of my fellow commenters, however, coffee is hot, and there are labels on the coffee stating that because of a lawsuit like this. What a interesting precedent to games will this set. How you put a disclaimer in a game stating it’s difficulty level? Compared to what?
Plaintiff will have to prove some form of legally enshrined harm has occurred.
I can’t imagine what kind of results from not winning due to difficulty that may be appealing to a judge as a form of ‘damage’.
Emotional trauma? Discrimination? Ableism? With this games accessibility has been the ongoing issue, they could argue around that.
Significant uptick in fools to block today on lemmy.
It feels like reddit 2015 up in here.
