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?

From reading his posts, he doesn't think the game is too hard he thinks there's an entire game hidden inside Elden Ring. He claims there's an entire parallel universe for the lands between hidden in the game files and no one has found it because they purposely hid this final "50% of the game" and made it impossible to find.

Is this your first time being exposed to frivolous lawsuit bullshittery?

Holy hell I kinda hope they actually let this go to trial just to make him present his "evidence"

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So if they made it impossible to find, how did he find it?

Not sure and I don't exactly understand that part. It has to do with the themes and messages behind Bloodborne and how that game is a metaphor for awakening true humanity or something along those lines. But that was just a cross franchise hint for the actual parallel universe in Elden Ring.

That... Is quite a stretch.

Elden Rangus Evangelion conspiracy theory! Far out!

I think that's called teasing a sequel...

I mean if so then good! If he has any evidence he could fucking share about it then we can go on trying to solve the puzzle. It would be a bold and striking move that would put from software aseven more transcendent a developer

The "evidence" most likely came to him when he forgot to take his pills. From Software games have a huge following of people hunting for cut content, going through every item for its lore etc. They even got Armored Cores into the game, and tarnished into Armored Core. If there was anything, it would be known on release basically.

Yea, i mean i don’t believe it for a second, but it would still be cool AF
