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’m convinced that FromSoftware has the biggest weirdos as their fanbase. I never played a FromSoftware game before elden ring, and i wish i would’ve just played the game and never looked at forums or wherever they throw up their opinions. Before i bought the dlc i watched a video that was titled something like: the elden ring dlc is really bad or something like that. The video had a ton of views and a lot of people seemed to agree, so i watched it, because i wasn’t sure if i should spend the money or not. The video made me actually mad because of how absolutely stupid it was. The brain-dead dude even got mad because of the word “scadutree” “Yeah what is that, i’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be called shadowtree, they can’t even get that right.” These guys have some sort of disability where they can’t enjoy the game if they use anything but a stick as a weapon.

      Imagine someone complaining about DOOM because it’s too hard, and you go:"i don’t know, once you get the plasma cannon… "I DON’T USE THE PLASMA CANNON, I ONLY USE THE STARTER PISTOL, WHY DO THE DEVS MAKE THE GAME SO HARD? SHOTGUNS ARE FOR BABIES JUST PISTOL.
