    While the game is a complete piece of trash, it's somewhat stupid to sue Sony and Microsoft as well. Just to give you the general idea: Some drunk 17 year old flashed her titties and now wants money compensation for it, AKA a lawsuit. Lord, there needs to be some sort of law preventing lawsuits from people who were drunk/high at the time of doing something stupid

    Then again, they were 17, so the courts are going to jump on this. Then again, there have been hollywood movies that have shown much worse and at younger ages (AKA: older version of Romeo and Juliet has both boobs and young guy ass)

    Small edit: Skipped over part of it, and apperantly part of the suit was because she didn't legally allow them to use it. Eh, still doesn't change the fact that I dare say she was drunk, but eh...

    Damn... America is getting weird every day.

    I'm now understanding why one of the GTA radios has this add ( making fun of their own country ):

    "Is your job affecting your health? Do you become fatigued? Does working take time away from family and social events like watching wrestling? There's an easy solution! Sue your boss!! See, the great thing about this country is you can sue anyone for pretty much anything! And you'll probably win! Or at least get a settlement. At the Firm of Rakin and Ponzer Personal Injury Attorneys, we can show you how falling down and howling like a sissy can result in a large damage award from your employer. We also specialize in awards for injuries suffered in auto, bus and train accidents! And can even train you to throw yourself in front of a bus and pretend to be injured. Hey, that's why they pay for insurance! Call the law offices of Rakin and Ponzer, and get ready to enjoy a life of luxury!"


    Like you people like to say, God Bless America :smt043 :smt082

    It may become rare now--better snatch it up, probably hardcore collectors will pay $100 in a few years for that tripe. :smt043

    I don't want to be the devil's lawyer....but...isn't she right? Could the developers use her image without her approval?
    On the other hand, she was showing them for everyone..so...

    In the UK if she is 16 and has her tits out she isn't classed as a minor. If she had her muff out then she would be underage as she would have to be 18 to do so, but on the other hand how could she win if it's illegal for public nudity inc. flashing her tits? Also she should have been aware it's illegal for her to get her tits out underage - she is half to blame so really she shouldn't be able to claim fuck all.

    Fucking dumb little whore bitch.
    If you're gonna drink you have to accept the consequences. Alcohol makes you do fucked up things(like ending up 200Km away from home like I did the other night) but you have to accept the fucked up things in exchange for the sweet sweet drunk feeling.
    Hope the bitch misses out on a sweet job because of this.

    Neither of them are right. If she flashed her boobs in a public location and someone took a picture, well, that's just too damn bad. She could get in trouble for public nudity. On the other hand, we have these people who published her without her consent.

    Sounds like someone just wants money for being a dumbass.
     
  9. I don't know, I think there should be heavy legal penalties for actually making a game this horrible.

    It's really quite a few steps backward in the fight to make the game industry viewed as 'legitimate' in the eyes of all the naysayers.

    They deserve everything they get - karma coming around for publishing the game in the first place.

    I agree with you on this. Sony and Microsoft should be sued for letting this crap getting released.

    Now directly to Sony: Why they don't release Metal Slug 3 and Puyo Puyo Fever, but let this damn thing get a release?!?!. :angry

    I dont want this game, and Im American. You should have said "Dumbasses, Johnny, Dumbasses."

    I dont know why you other guys think all Americans are obsessed with our own stuff. A trivia game sounds SO COOL, too.

    Maybe both parties should lose the lawsuit

    That way the moneygrubbing whore gets her comeuppance plus extra humiliation, and the mediocre crap-game "developers" get their asses handed to them by the american legal system.

    And we all rejoice and get beyond drunk :drinkers:


    That's what I'd do anyway.

    I agree that it is going backward in trying to make the industry look a bit more legitimate. If you want a "Trivia" game, go hunt down "You don't know Jack" for the PC. If you want porn, go buy some porn. The game probably is garbage, and you won't see me playing it.

    Thanks Anti. Anyway, i'll probably buy them someday in PAL or NTSC|J.

    Just mentioned them to prove a point.

    Anyway, how you did on your finals? Hope you passed.
