GAME Adds DLC Warning Labels to Used Games

[Ajna]

People need to stop suing because THEY are stupid, lawyers need to stop taking the cases from STUPID people. Pour hot coffee in your crotch, wow, it burns. No shit. Here's your sign.

Ignore the fucking circumstances surrounding an event and get called out on being a dumbass? No shit. Here's your sign.

I didn't ignore the facts, I am quite aware of them, what I chose to ignore was the moronic decision of the Jury to basically ignore (only finding 20% fault) that the woman could have prevented the entire circumstances by NOT doing any one of the following:
1. Putting a cup labeled "Caution: Contents Hot" between her knees
2. Ripping the lid off a round styrofoam cup thus removing all reasonable support for the cup's structure.
3. Being surprised when the "Contents Hot" liquid poured into her lap and soaking her clothes causing severe burns.
4. Sueing McDonalds for her medical bills which could have been 100% avoided had she heeded the reasonable notice that the contents were HOT even though the average common sense logic would tell you NOT to put ANYTHING HOT between your legs.

Similar circumstance:
1. Guy goes to Florida.
2. Sees signs saying "Caution: Live Alligators"
3. Guy puts alligator between his legs and attempts to pet it.
4. Guy is completely surprised when the alligator chops his nuts off and sues Florida for not having suitable signs even though the average common sense logic would tell you NOT to put an alligator between your legs.

If this is your assertion, then no label GAME puts on a case is going to be sufficient unless it completely wraps the case so you can't see anything of the original artwork.

You, my friend, are a dumbass.

First off, it's spelled "suing". That doesn't apply to the rest, but I use firefox, so when I quote you, it covers my screen in annoying red squiggles. Just sayin'.

As for the rest:

1) I'm not sure where you live, but where I live, it's relatively common to put a cup between your legs. If the cupholders in your car are, for whatever reason, filled/blocked, it's normal to put it between your legs.
2) She was adding cream (or sugar, not too sure) to the damn thing! How the fuck would you propose somebody add cream/sugar to their coffee with the lid still on?
3) She wasn't surprised when the coffee burnt her. She was surprised when the coffee was 40 degrees hotter than is normal, and she was certainly surprised when this caused third degree burns (coffee at 140, as is normal, would not have caused her to need skin grafts).
4) I reiterate, you're a dumbass. Holding a cup of coffee between your legs is normal.

As for your analogy, how about I attempt to fix it to make the least bit of sense (a challenge, but not impossible, I dare say):

1. Guy goes to Florida.
2. Sees sign saying "Baby Alligators"
3. Guy looks for the alligators.
4. Guy is completely surprised when a full grown 6-foot alligator is in there, and it tries killing him, and then rightly sues the people who posted the signs for malicious malconduct.

1. Well, I see people doing it all the time. I also see people crossing the street between parked cars all the time too. Just because people do it doesn't make it a smart thing to do. Just saying.

2. Its the combination of squeezing the cup between the legs AND removing the list. Cups collapse. Duh.

3. It was marked as HOT. Doesn't matter how hot, it was still a stupid thing to do. Put it in the cup holder, dash, floor, etc. Plenty of options, pick one other than your crotch.

4. Normal for you. Not for me. I know the coffee is hot. I put it in the cup holder. Soda, perhaps, not coffee, tea or any other hot liquid that I presume to be hot.

As for your analogy, how about I attempt to fix it to make the least bit of sense (a challenge, but not impossible, I dare say):

1. Guy goes to Florida.
2. Sees sign saying "Baby Alligators"
3. Guy looks for the alligators.

Actually I like it. Proves the point. Stay out of the alligator pen and you won't get bit. Baby alligators can do some serious damage as well. Don't put hot coffee in your crotch and it won't matter how hot it is.

You, my friend, are a dumbass.

You may think so but I am not a dumbass who puts hot coffee in his crotch. Ever.

This does make sense, but anyone buying a pre-owned game expecting all the extra's are just daft.

I see nothing wrong with project 10 dollar, I find the people who do are spoiled. Here's a hint, that game you love, Gamestop didn't make it :O

If the developer and publisher makes no money, no games get made :O
Gamestop going out of business hurts gamers none
Game Developers go out of business no more games :O

I know shocking.

Super shocking. How about you go and pay them to make games, and I obtain my games as cheaply as possible, and we enjoy playing them all the same?

Ironically, I played through all of Mass Effect 2 before I figured out I had to go and download the free DLC and install it... now I'll wait until Mass Effect 3 to really play with the DLC that came with the game..

People who buy pre-owned obviously can't or won't afford the mint games. If the companies keep limiting the access to DLC for consumers, some may simply take the easy way out.

I think consumers are tired of being nickle and dimed. It's not like these huge game companies are not making profits. They are. A LOT of profit. This is pure greed. Virtually no small companies employ this kind of model and they're the only ones who could arguably stand to benefit from it in a survive-or-die scenario. The current companies are already making fat bottom lines and have no need other than lining their pockets more.

Not to worry, gamers are taking notice of this greed and reacting appropriately
