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?

    Hated this game. Played it for about 10 hours and it was ugly, barren, repetitive, outdated, boring. I really don’t understand the appeal, it’s a bad looking game and is so boring my god.

        Really? I played for 10 hours and only saw barren wastelands and caves

          And the hideous (and/or downright weird) clothing/armor.

          I don’t necessarily mind the “realistic” aesthetic, but let’s be honest, everything is dirty and tattered.

          And it’s not even all that hard.
