I personally hope that a class action lawsuit comes out of this. It’s not the fact that its right for people to sue it’s the fact that the product bought is not working as advertised. I’m willing to bet that there is not a disclaimer on the box anywhere stating that this product my suffer connection interruptions and you may be disconnected and your game progress lost.
That’s the real issue here. Ubishit is pawning a game off that does not work as advertised and to me that is a liability waiting to happen. So yes sue their asses.
Right, I would agree with this if it were working in the manner that Ubisoft expected it to. But it doesn't. It's a disruption of their service, no different than heavy clouds blocking your satellite TV reception.
Suing for that sort of thing would set a really bad precedent. There's this belief that the only way to teach companies lessons is to sue them, but that's not true. If this fiasco impacts their sales, sullies the value of the franchise, gives people bad associations with the brand or publisher...then they will learn a hard lesson.
I do feel that it's up to Ubisoft to correct this problem for their customers who have purchased this game...either by fixing their service, removing the need for it, or offering a refund. But until that avenue has been exhausted, I don't think involving the legal system is warranted or desired. |
