regarding the first point, remember gaming companies… do not make a game people like.
now the suit itself addresses other concerns, such as claiming they blocked him out of his account for bogus reasons. that is classic breach of contract issues, and there is nothing radical about that. but the addictiveness issue caught my eye.
I really love reading Overlawyered. I read it every day. I can’t wait to browse it morning, noon and night.
Beware, Walter, this is your fault!
Shouldn’t he be thanking them for blocking his account? After all, it stopped him from playing
