But how can you even think of sueing someone over something as trivial, minor, and unimportant as this? Even if only for $50? So what happens if you win the case? Do you get $50 and do you return the game to CDV so you can buy another game and sue that company for $50 and so on and forth...?
I think you have the wrong idea about me. No I don't sue a company for a refund for minor bugs. I'll only take someone to court if I have a valid reason to. FYI, here's a list of publishs I've filed suits in order to get a refund. If you know anything about these games then you'll see that each and everyone has been unplayible after being patched.
Ubi Soft for Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor - I had to file to suits. One for the refund of the game and another one for compensation of five months of work lost due to their product wiping my Hard Drive when I uninstalled it. Ubi Soft settled for the refund and the compay I work for took over the compensation suit, and in the end they won.
Atari for Temple of Elemental - They settled out of court and gave me a refund.
EA for Ultima 9 - I won the case and got a refund.
Seirra for Arcanum - They settled out of court and I got a refund.
Interplay for Lionheart - They settled out of court and gave me a refund.
If I buy a DVD in America, and it says the DVD contains 150 minutes of film, while it actually only contains 149 minutes, and 12 seconds, does that mean I should sue the company for misleading advertisement? Even if it was a great movie?
I couldn't give you an honest answer, but I'd have to say no. Now if you were to buy a TV that advertised picture in picture and that didn't work foy you. After trying to get the store you bought the TV from to give you a refund, and the compay that makes the TV you bought, and if they both refused to refund you money then yes you have a vaild case.
