Class action lawsuit

Ser Lobo

I cannot laugh out loud enough at the op. Good luck with your lawsuit.

Why does this come up in every game? Do people really get to sue over this kind of thing? I don't think I've played a game since UO where there wasn't someone threatening to sue over lost money or false advertising or something.

I agree that they are not delivering what they promised, but you obviously made no attempt to read the ToS you accepted when you downloaded/bought this game. You haven't a single legal leg to stand on.

In what way are they not delivering what was promised?

It's not a nitpick at all. The topic is class action lawsuits, which are completely different from regular lawsuits, and you lied and claimed that Blizzard loses class action lawsuits all the time.

Heres some links for you:

PS Activision is Blizzard Entertainment, Maybe you should try looking that up instead if you couldn't find these.

1. Class action over forced authenticator usage:

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/class-action-lawsuit-diablo-StarCraft-authenticator-Benjamin-Bell,19057.html

2. Lawsuit for Illegal accounting

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/activision-slammed-with-class-action-lawsuit/1100-6090933/

That's just 2 There are a lot more. They've been sued for false advertisement a number of times.

You've been asked by several people to back up your claims that "Blizzard losses CLASS ACTION lawsuits all the time".

Your first link does not even represent a lost case. Your second link dates back to an Activision "NON class action lawsuit" from 2004 (FOUR years before blizzard and activision merged) give up already. You can only pull so much out of your *** before your lies start to unravel.

Imagine a world where we all sued game developers for a game we buy & do not like for whatever perceived reason.........

Give him a minute guys, Google searches take time.

I do so hope these peeps try to file such a lawsuit. It will be fun watching them pay ZOS damages and their attorney's fees. You signed away any rights to sue and agreed to binding arbitration when you installed the game. You specifically waived any rights to access the game's servers. You have no leg to stand on.

Please spend money on lawyers, that would be hilarious for not only us, but also the lawyer getting paid to tell you that you have no case.

That's not really how class action lawsuits work though. Lawyers take on class action suits on contingency, which means that they'll only take them on if they think they can win or convince the company to settle in order to make the suit go away (or, in some rare cases, lawyers will do it on principal if they feel really passionately about it and/or if they want to make a name for themselves). In other words, no lawyer would ever take on a suit like this, and if the OP tried to get one to file a suit he wouldn't be out any money. Well, not unless the lawyer charged him a consultation fee.

Luckily we only live in a world where self entitled gamers (most of whom could not even DEFINE a class action lawsuit) sit around on their asses composing threads telling other gamers that they should file suit. Meanwhile, the culmination of what should easily be TENS OF THOUSANDS of forum posts threatening Class Action suits, has been a mere handful of actual suits filed and even less which have seen successful litigation.

As is usually the case among the pissed off gamer segment, a whole lot of hot air and very little to back it up...

Yeah but lawyers charge you even to look at your case. Their time is money.

Wow, people talking about lawsuits again. This one got a lot more attention than the last 5 or so threads I read threatening to sue.

renton1x1x1

yawn - 15-20 years mmo experience if you don't like the game then leave just go. what is is the point of going on forums and moaning about it.

ok @Malpherian, if you are telling the truth, certainly you have a case number or something on hand that you can scan in and prove that you were a defendant against Blizzard. There is no way in the world anyone would throw out those documents...unless you've been lying this whole time and you are really some little kid trying to be an internet tough guy.

Come now, do not be insensitive, he may have suffered a massive fire, or thieves broke in and stole all his documents. The guy could have been through a lot.

The same thieves may have also broken into the courthouse and stolen the copies of the documents that were on file there.

Well, he did tell you to trust him after all. If you can't trust a person based solely on him telling you to trust him, then who can you trust?

I remember several months ago, Lindsey Lohan started a suit against Rockstar saying they stole her image and used it for GTA5. The image was obviously of another model, who also plays a voice actress on the pop station. I have no idea what has happened since, but it's hilarious what some people try to sue over.

it's really a pretty solid life philosophy.
You know how much candy trusting people has gotten me? And I've only had to have my stomach pumped like, what, twice maybe. . . Most of them just want to see my special areas.

And in other breaking news:

It is now against the TOS rules of the game to be riding your horse through Cyrodiil while /smashed on Skooma. We'll have more on this story @ 11:00 (EST)

Back to you, Bill.

I want to see this lawsuit, I will be eating popcorn and drinking lemonade. I would really love to here how you try to talk around the EULA and TOS which you agreed to including waiving rights, claiming sole liability and agreeing nobody but you can be held accountable for your experience.

wow man this is outrages again i say feel free to make us a better MMo game
