Topic	Bethesda Game Studios to face a class action lawsuit regarding Fallout 76.
adjl 11/27/18 12:14:48 PM #54:	Charocks posted... A scummy lawyer was trolling youtube and saw neckbearded reviewers throwing tantrums over the game and is trying to make a buck. Lemme tell you something; there is very little legal standing for this "case". You have a datacap? Not Betheda's problem. You encountering glitches in a game that they openly stated would have issues? Buyer's remorse isn't a valid reason. Any other shallow arguement? Not Bethesda's problem. If you can't stand this "injustice"? Sell your electronics and your house, buy a cabin in the woods, and crawl into your safe space and sob to yourself. In all honesty, the lawsuit probably won't succeed, you're right. A very important distinction needs to made here between "Bethesda will lose this lawsuit" and "Bethesda deserves to lose this lawsuit and/or face major backlash for this." The former ignores that US law tends to be very pro-corporation and Bethesda has done everything they can to avoid having to take legal responsibility for the quality of their product, which is just unrealistic. The latter is a statement based on the fact that Bethesda sold a rushed, barely-playable game and tried to fix it with a patch so large that many players won't be able to download it for another month (if ever), and are refusing to issue refunds to people who have a problem with that. That's not only realistic, but arguably the only reasonable response. People are quick to dismiss these complaints as "you should have known better than to buy a Bethesda game at launch," but that attitude completely absolves Bethesda of any accountability for making the unplayable game in the first place. The unplayable state of Fallout 76 is entirely Bethesda's fault, and holding them accountable for that is not only perfectly reasonable, it should be considered a moral obligation for anyone that values quality control in games. They've been given a free pass on that front for far too long. --- This is my signature.
