The part about this that really gets me is that its Fallout 4 that did this to him. It wasn't that good!

Bethesda's lawyers need to negotiate an out-of-court settlement in this case, but with one stipulation: they'll only pay the defendant in bottle caps.
You have time on your hands.EHKOS said:
Anyway, I am glad that the attitude of "I completed said game in 12 hours, I am the best" is dying in video games because its stupid. It's should be about what you do in the game and the experience you are feeling and not rushing something to prove a point. It's not so much about the destination but about journey leading up to it. So, he may or may not be bad at the game at all. He just loves the world too much. But the real fact here, he's just a lazy twat when it comes to things outside of the game.
Hope this guy doesn't take up smoking or drinking. Next thing we know, it's tobacco and alcohol companies that gave him lung cancer and a failing liver.[footnote]If you have a problem with my comparisons since alcohol ad tobacco are physically addictive rather than psychologically, then replace it with fast food and getting fat or something.[/footnote]
I don't get this kind of behaviour... I LOVE gaming, been gaming since I was a child, but I have this thing called self control and a sense of getting shit done. Fallout 4 came out at the worst possible time for me, I had to work that entire week late because of issues going on. I woke up early the day the game came out, played for about 2.5 hours. Realized it was time to get ready for work, got up and went.
I don't even think I'm remotely close to the pinnacle of self control and I was even able to do that... How little self sense and self control do some people have?

I take issue with that. Mostly because Smoking is INHERENTLY bad for you, even smoking one cigarette a week. I'm not even going to touch the addictive component cause you already admitted that wasn't the main premise.Creator002 said:
Every time I see things like this, all I'm thinking is "It's PR."
"Our game is so addictive, you'll want to sue us."
Anyone else feels this way?

Christ, this treat escalated from one man's goof up to strange prejudices.
Seriously, each time a man from Florida shoots himself in the leg you don't make assumptions about the population of Florida and the history of the United States. Using an isolated incident to draw conclusions about a large nation doesn't make you look good in the long run.

Nice.
The game is addicting, I'll give it that, I've never had a case of One-More-Level Syndrome as hard as I do with Fallout 4 but not to the point of neglecting important parts in my life.
Come on, guy, it's your own fault.

I think the reason for this lawsuit of his is not some deep-rooted flaws of the Russian national character. It's just that this guy read up somewhere that American companies pay exorbitant amounts of money for the most ridiculous reasons. Like that one case of the woman who microwaved her cat because nowhere in the oven user's manual did it say that she couldn't.
She must've been Russian, too. They are stupid like that.

this case can't, and shouldn't go anywhere. however, similar cases involving the skinner box exploitation of groups like King SHOULD be prosecuted. they literally hire psychologists whose job it is to optimize the addictiveness.
Translation: This is the stupidest case we've ever taken, but we're bored so why not?Lizzy Finnegan said:
Doubt he'll get anything as he has too much privilege being white male even for make believe grievances. If he was a fat, gay, SJW transsexual Bethesda would be paying through the nose.
