(11 votes, average: 4.55 out of 5)A California man is suing Electronic Arts because the company discontinues online game-play for some of its videos games after a new version is released. “Well, the ever-roiling, always-turbid waters of California consumer law have just coughed up yet another ridiculous creature whose slowly decomposing corpse will stink up the once-pleasant beach that is the federal docket for the next several months,” Kevin Underhill writes of the case.
This is a bad example of lawsuit abuse. Honestly, the plaintiff has a good point in this case and is justified using a lawsuit to publicize the issue. When a publisher sells a game with online play they need to be clear how long that function will be usable.
