Ok, so I'll admit that headline was just clickbait.
Suing Ubisoft is a stunningly stupid idea but the posts talking about it are a highlight of this forum. Sadly these forms have gotten pretty toxic, but hearing teenagers and other people who live at home and have no job or degree write out lengthy, "Class Action Lawsuit" demands is pure internet gold.

Why do you need to post a click bait title just to get views? I came on here to say that you can put your cursor over the title and see some of the post's words. So sadly you didn't trick me. Second the people who say they are going to sue Ubisoft are delusional, just let them have their fun and let them waste their money on a trial they will lose.
Cheers.
Wrong. If suing on the basis of criminal acts or consumer protections, those cannot be waived.Originally Posted by alexandercuna Go to original post
Simple summary, EULAs, CoCs, TOSs, cannot trump law. The acceptance of a EULA can be used as evidence or part of a defense, but its mere existence is not a get out of jail free card.
I'm not sure how it works in America, but over here in the UK you can absolutely take a company to court if they sell you a shoddy product. It's probably not worth the time and money for the cost of a video game, but I'd be tempted to do it in order to set a precedent that it's no longer ok for Triple-A game studios to release garbage, rake in millions only to fix it later when they feel like it.
People are afforded the same consumer protections on software as they are with hardware, the problem is years of stores refusing to return video games due to piracy issues has resulted in a no-refunds culture that's one of the primary reasons developers and publishers can get away with releasing tat and keeping the money afterwards. Most people think they either can't return a video game or that it isn't worth the inevitable argument when they accuse you of copying the game, or seeking a refund after completing it, so they just don't bother trying to get their money back and the developer/publisher wins.
