I can understand being pissed about not being able to play your game in Singleplayer because of some shit with the servers you have no interest in being connected to (which is mainly why I am not buying D3), but let's have some perspective here. Lawsuits? Really? Do we really need to clog up our already completely borked legal system with lawsuits over a game? How about we save our litigation for things like medical malpractice and negligence resulting in injury or destruction of property?
Truth be told, sometimes the way to force change of the good kind is to go litigious on their asses.
When there's real harm being done, or the company is abusing a monopoly position. This seems more like initiating a lawsuit against a developer because you don't like quick time events, or the default field of view, or menus that aren't mouse-friendly enough. The way to force change here is to get people not to buy the game. It's not like Blizzard has the kind of stranglehold that Microsoft or Apple has. What case is there to be made here?
This isn't a case of not liking a particular feature. This is a case of not being able to play the game you paid for due to developer/publisher incompetence. Granted, the game's only been out for a day but it's still unacceptable.
