  • FFXI and Square Enix sued! 5 million lawsuit! FFXI in trouble?

    Kotaku - Square Enix Sued For $5 Million - PC

    this is deep stuff. I guess this gives them more reason to not use PlayOnline anymore for FFXIV and just focus on clear, fair and
    accessible means to subscribe, cancel and play without the problems attached to POL and their FFXI business habits.

        Your honor, my client wishes to testify.




        SE: RTFM!


        The defense rests.

            LOL BBQ!

            I thought the lawsuit was going to be a class action suit by people who had their accounts stolen or something...This is just stoopd. All the judge has to say is "WTF, why are you suing SE? I just claimed Fafnir last night..." Case closed.

              Funny, most of the cases written in the filing are in the manual, on the website and some even on the box containing the game. (Monthly fees alone comes to mind.)
              This is clearly another case of 'I want money, now who can I sue?' or 'I got banned for duping/buying or selling gil/botting/hacking/cheating/harrasing mithra/whatever, I want revenge!!'

                  This case is gonna get thrown out as all that stuff is in the manual and all over it's website. Sounds like some old lady bought it for her kid, signed up blindly, and was getting charged without realizing it. This reminds me of that case where some Governor had a law passed in his state because his kid deleted FFXI before canceling his Content IDs and kept getting billed because they were both too stupid to RTFM.

                    Over 100k estimated in the class. That would be, what, nearly every FFXI player in the United States?

                      That was also one of the things that came to my mind.
                      But it seems that the lawyer of said person does not read manuals either.

                      In simple words, there is no case here.

                          lol $5 million. That's not even a month of subscription fees from every player in the game.

                            Reading some of the comments by people on that page, they seem stupid as well -.- .........

                            The deceptive advertising, unfair and undisclosed business practices, and concealment concern, among others:

                            i. Licensing of the online games software disguised as a sale;
                            oh please -.-
                            ii. Monthly fees ("fees") to play the online games;
                            its on the bottom right on the front of the box.....
                            iii. Penalties for late payment of the fees;
                            all they do is deny access to your acccount
                            iv. Interest charges for late payment of the fees;
                            there are none, they just stop your account
                            v. Charges while the online game account is suspended;
                            no -.-
                            vi. Termination of the right to use the online games for late payment of the fees;
                            well no shit sherlock
                            vii. User restrictions and conditions related to the online games;
                            uummm yeah....
                            viii. Termination of game data for payment of the fees.
                            makes no sense

                            in short RTFM


                            and the more i read this, like others have said, this just sounds like some random butt hurt person trying to make some cash. 100k subscribers? yeah right, its most likely just him, or him and a few others trying to make money like he is.

                              Well reading the OP, it appears they agree with the suits premise.

                              ---------------

                              Maybe I can counter sue the law firm bringing this suit on the basis that claiming 100,000 American FFXI players can't read or understand a manual they are guilty of slander as I sure as hell can read and understand a manual.
