Bungie getting sued for false advertisingFollow

AP:

"A class action lawsuit was filed against Bungie Studios in federal court earlier this morning. Gamer Adam Miller is accusing Bungie of falsely advertising their flagship title Halo 3. His lawyer Harvey Silva made this comment outside the courthouse,

'My client is an avid gamer, and he keeps up with all of the advertising of his favorite video games. I feel he was legitimately duped by Bungie Studios into believing that gamers would have access to all of the 'armor permutations' shown in the commercials for Halo 3. His disappointment is shared by many in the community, and I believe we have a strong case against Bungie.'

The armor in question is the 'Recon Armor', an armor which was shown in many commercials prior to Halo 3's release. Recently Bungie replied to their fans on their website (www.bungie.com) that this armor was reserved exclusively for Bungie employees.

A spokesperson for Bungie refused to comment."



shut up and play the vidya gaem.

I put this case up there with the dude who tried to sue for "ruining his personal image" because it was broadcast that he was on death row for being found guilty of multiple counts of murder.

Suddenly all those court cases come to mind...
"MY SON ATE NOTHING BUT MCDONALDS AND NOW HE'S FAT!"
Court action is going too far on stupid subjects.

I think that that video would be much better if they had found some gnarly, toothless, grizzled old man who spoke slowly and strongly, and could answer every question accurately. They could put him in at the end of it, and throw in plenty of references to "degenerates" and "whippersnappers"

Wonder how far a plaintiff could take a lawsuit accusing someone of permanent intelligence reduction by some sort of diffusion of teh stupid. I'd hope it would get further than halo at least.

Honestly, I can't see why you'd fight over a set named Recon Armor.

Since the lawsuit is based on armor *visible* in the commercials, I think it'd be hilarious for Bungie to suddendly make the armor available, minus any stat bonuses they may give in game. It satisfies the false advertising claim while simultaneously making a point about stupidity.

My point was though, how badass would a set called Recon Armor even be anyways.
