Agoraphobe Sues Activision Over "Hurtful" World of Warcraft

[Pyro Paul]

this person should be condemned to an asylum.
he is proving self destructive in his paranoia and attacking entities and individuals because of it. although it is done with a pen and lawsuit papers, it is still a self destructive practice which should earn him a ticket to the nearest sanitarium for a lengthy visit.

If this is another stealth ad, has "Wrath" already been used? Also, how in the world could he get Marvin Lee Gore and Winona Ryder to testify? There's got to be something else behind the scenes of this whole thing.

EDIT: Oh yeah. I forgot. They used the "Wrath" one on Yahtzee.

..It could be greed, maybe? <P

I was meaning "wrath" from the gaming community when I typed that, but other sins could be better suited to this situation.

 

[aarontg]

Oh ok, and how may we fix it? I am amazed this person hasn't bin burned down by an angry mob, has any of these bin successful? I sure as heck hope not.

 

[Rachet922]

Don't worry he'll run out of thing to sue eventually.

 

[McNinja]

This made me lol. I can't wait when he's slapped down with several fines of greater than 200,000 dollars.

 

[MrDarkling]

I love this guy, I want him to continue
Without a doubt he will fail miserably and maybe he will be fined for wasting the court's time.
I mean he's paying enough as it is for lawsuits anyways.
However if this is the Dante's Inferno ad marketing scheme....my god...I will seriously buy the game just so I can see if if the devs of dante's inferno confidence really worth all this effort.

*picks self up from floor after hearty laughter* My god what a TARD!!! Don't courts keep records of previous cases? If they do then this guys newest case would be thrown out after they look this over. He makes absolutely no sense at all here, suing a game because it isn't fun, that's like me suing myself because my poop didnt come out the right color. Please Your Honor in this case throw his ass into the damn Asylum and have them place him in the deepest chamber of isolation.

I agree, after all, if he's really an agoraphobe, they'd be doing him a favor no?

This guy must have the Whaaambulance on speed dial.

My guess is he is a spoiled single child used to getting whatever he wants whenever he wants from his doormat parents.

 

[Ashbax]

So...hes complaining because the default running speed is 12mph?...

Not that I would care or ever use that, I have an epic flying mount.

But, for gods sake, hes just lazy. I mean, if he wants WoW to be fun he just needs to play it enough to get to the fun bits.


Also, does he REALLY expect to get any money out of this?

*anti-ding*

Poopie ¬_¬
I just lost another level in "faith for humanity"

this idiot needs to be locked up, preferably in a small lead box at the bottom of a lake...

Should we really be poking fun and abuse at someone who is clearly mentally ill?

 

[Mullahgrrl]

WoW is to boring, about time sombody got up the nerve to do smething about it.

Bit too late to be asking this 9 pages later, but thinking about it this way, I have to agree with you now.

Ya I am a bit late to the party but only saw it there a few hours ago.

So is an agoraphobe an irrational fear of rational sense? j/k I know what it is, but doesn't he has someone watching him to let him know he isn't making any sense? also, if he is going to court and will be representing himself, how will he get there if he has a phobia of public places?

 

[M4rsch]

Am I the only one to find this pretty entertaining?
I hope it's some build-up to a huge ball twisting revelation.

Should we really be poking fun and abuse at someone who is clearly mentally ill?

Yes, we should. Being 'mentally ill' is not a free pass in life to do whatever crazy shit you wanted. You're still accountable. How does having agoraphobia, OCD, panic disorder, 'major depression' and Crohn's Disease (something which isn't mental, as a sidenote) somehow give him reign to not be judged like everyone else?

It doesn't, but it seems he doesn't really know what a fool he's making of himself. It's sad.

Also, I have panic disorder and though it doesn't make me want to sue games companies, it is a very tough thing to live with that I wouldn't wish uopn my worst enemy, so I do have just a little empathy towards the guy.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Christ he needs to be sent to a mental hospital now. I could understand the Sony lawsuit but taking it to 360 and Wii was just stupid and finally WoW from there he can go F*** himself. Am praying he doesn't win and I think he probably won't.

Did he win any of the others?
