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?

    the chains of attacks that are nigh-impossible to dodge. Also, screw Malenia. Worst boss they’ve ever made.

    I’m gonna take a stab in the dark and say you haven’t figured out how to not die to Waterfowl Dance.

      There’s videos about it, but I don’t care enough about ever fighting her again to actually watch them. I’m glad the Haligtree is an optional area, because I would have simply put the game down if it wasn’t. Not like there’s a lineup of stunning best-in-the-genre bosses after her, either.
