why would you care?
did you buy the game?

Free money and no

What happened to the ribbit guy who's dad is a lawyer and was looking into sueing sean? Was that just a dank meme

if you didn't buy the game, then you have no damages

I strongly doubt you'd have any damages even if you did buy the game. A lawyer could successfully defend everything he's said, even I could to an extent.

then I suppose if you bought it your damages are still measly

Absolutely not. A shame, though.

no. you can sue for refund but $60 is not worth the trouble

>blatantly lying about whats in the game 4 months before it came out and even a month before it came out
>steam page shows old trailers and not what's in the game
no

I don't know much about law, but this probably still wouldn't go though.

Hundreds of games get away with scripted events, and cut content, in trailers. Have you never watched E3? And the game may not be multiplayer in the traditional sense, but players do impact the game in (meaningless) ways for others.

You shouldn't be allowed to sue someone because they lied about their "art" and I mean "art" in the definitive way, not the pretentious way. No Man's Sky is shit, but its a video game, and although it may trigger some tards, vidya, at the end of the day, is art, just like movies, music, books, tv shows, comics, anime, manga, ect. Its not a product like a car. If a salesperson lied and said their car had seat belts when it really didn't, yea, you should sue.

Imagine someone suing Kojima for saying Solid Snake was the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 2.

Post the funny yellow bird with gun please

I'm not a fan of the game at all, I didn't even buy it.
But video games and interactive art pieces should be SEPARATED.
If I buy a copy of Monopoly, it better be fucking Monopoly, not some single player roll of the dice bullshit.
That being said, the idea of suing over this is naive at best.

You are under the assumption that the law isn't backwards retarded fucking garbage. Its perfectly legal to lie about your product in this day and age. Fucking everyone is doing it.

Who's got the funny yellow bird?

Nope. He signed a contract with Sony and so Sony is responsible for all legalities in regards to marketing.

Who is going to sue Sony?

pic related, sony HQ

No.

>art is a blanket term you can apply to fucking anything that utterly useless beyond evoking brief emotions

>electronic product intended to entertain people and sold using currency
>'art'

I hope you are thinking hard about suicide.

Even the derpy schlump creature would work

Who's holding out here?

I got dis

>electronic product intended to entertain people and sold using currency

movies, ebooks, digital music

ART is just a truncation of ARTefact of Culture.

IE anything a culture creates.

Vidya is Art.

You're debating if it has Artistic Merit.

No it's a videogame and a product. Art is subjective and this wasn't sold as art anyway.

WITH THE GUN DAMMIT

...thank u though

^

What your saying makes sense. What prevails in law is never in line with that.

Vidya's primary function/ motive isn't art though. Anything CAN be art but not everythings primary motive is to be art

Not art. Movies, books and digital music. Art is not a blanket term you apply to entire genres and types of shit. A movie can be art, but not every single movie is art and its certainly not art just because its a movie. Come the fuck on.

Law is nothing more than an argument between people about what should be defined as right and wrong.

Except most things you can argue that they didn't deliver on wasn't actually promised.

Sean's interviews don't matter and can't be used against him.

>theres no way

Where is the funny yellow bird with gun

Again, you're confused.

Vidya is an Artefact of Culture, it is in the strictest literal sense, Art.

You are arguing semantics and subjective bullshit about artistic merit or intent.

no because it would result in a lengthy legal battle that isn't worth anyone's time.

it'll go about as far as any other "lawsuit" against a developer goes.

if you felt like he lies then don't buy anymore of his games, if you didn't then continue living your life. in the end you're all fucking idiots.

in my opinion the game changed during development and things had to be scrapped along the way to get a half decent game on the market, but they focused on the wrong things.

you can look at any developers comments or video before a game comes out and see stuff missing in the final release, are you going to sue them too?

No. He'd just pull out an old issue of Game Informer, where he told them that people wouldn't be able to interact with one another even though everyone is in the same universe.

That was about 2 or so years ago.

My girlfriend didn't belive it exists, the funny bird with gun

Sony has been sued and lost many anti-consumer lawsuits in its day. How underage are you?

That's the problem though, virtually every "numale" indie dev treats their games as pieces of art...except only when it's convenient.

Artefacts of Culture are ANYTHING A CULTURE CREATES. All movies, all vidya, all books, ALL ART.

Please stop posting and tell me where the goddamn bird with gun is

...

Google it you cunt.

I'm old enough to fuck your mom.

I tried dammit. I don't even need it anymore

did you have your personal taste inscribed into the definition?

Stop trying to force this shit down everyone's throat.
We get it. It's a lame game. If you were actually here during the times the game was first shown off, no one here cared about it.
NOW SUDDENLY it's a big deal because the normalfags who plague this board post-Gamergate and post-Pepe normalfag meme-ization love to force garbage memes on here.
Fuck OFF!

This place has always been normie bro.

The only best thing which came out from this game

post-gamergate Sup Forums is here to stay. you either deal with it or leave. this is not your little secret club anymore.

Well in Denmark you wouldn't "sue" him like the americans would. We have something called "Consumer Council" which is a government-run agency/instance which are there to ensure that customer's rights are protected, in everything from marketing to privacy concerns and ensure that companies follow something called "the marketing act" etc.

If a company for instance are sending you spam, showing commercial to children which are exploiting the fact that they are young and "naive" or if a store won't take back a product you've bought within 14 days - they would step in and help you out. Often they run the case against the firm on behalf of one or more customers.

They could fine Hello Games if they are not complying to the marketing act. It's important to understand that Denmark (and most scandinavian countries) are different than USA in that the consumer is often "protected" by law. So by default customers are often better off than companies, if you know what I mean. Misleading customers in advertisements are for the most very illegal.

It does require people to complain to the agency - and most people wouldn't do this as they simply "ignore" the hazzle as it's only 60 euro lost. I'm no lawyer and I don't know if theres a case, but my point is that Denmark is very different than USA in many ways - so what is NOT a case in USA might be different in other countries.

Well it worked with that one alien game.

What did the plaintiffs get?
1 mil shared 1mil ways?

NU

A lawsuit could happen. All the videos and written stories of him saying that X was in the game then not telling the buying public that it was either removed,or not even thought to be put in the game. It would be a tough case but winnable.

I hope one day devs are actually held accountable for their bullshit. I feel like the game industry gets away with too much at times.

He got banned on NMS subreddit

I wish some cunt would just do it if they are so fucking confident.

nice

I can't help but feel that the people here who threaten to sue Sean are 12 year olds with no understanding of how law works.

>>steam page shows old trailers and not what's in the game
Literally every game ever.

Best you can do is get a refund, and maybe learn a fucking lesson that other people learned from Pete Molyneux.

Probably not. When you installed No Man's Sky I am almost positive that the TOS had you agree to waiving your rights of a class action lawsuit.

Granted that I haven't actually read No Man's Sky TOS, but that condition appears to have made become quite standard in recent years. Most games I installed lately had that clause.

Brazil has the same thing, so socialist, yet the big companies simply bribe members of the council so it only works with tiny companies that sell worthless shit, whilst the ones that actually fuck you in the ass always get away.

E.g. we had an internet provider's sort of scandal some months ago, but as there're actually only three companies that run countrywide, things got out their way instead of consumer interests...

I'm going to take this guy to the fucking cleaners. My dad's friend from way back in college owns a top law firm that does celebrities law stuff so I'm gonna talk to him about it.

Prerelease nonfinal builds and interviews cant be classified as legally binding for fraud. If a commercial or box says it has things it doesnt then you have a leg to stand on.

As is, youd have better chance suing naughty dog for countless uncharted bullshots and massive downgrades than no mans.

There is a difference between footage used in E3 advertisements and taking unused content and putting it on the store page.

>used multiple times in footage advertised today
>Sean promised multiple times the content would be in
>"he NEVER EVER gave a warning"

>all developers lie!
>just deal with it!
Why are you guys shilling on Sup Forums of all places

which firm? i might know it. and you definitely have a case

The only time I know of a video game company settling a class action suit is when EA got sued for having a monopoly on the Madden and NCAA football games. I got a nice $230 check on that one. But like I said, that was about being a monopoly, not about false advertising.

When will these stupid kids understand that you can't sue somebody just because you're butt-hurt.

Retard.

I would absolutely love for a developer to be sued for being deceitful to this level, it's actually ridiculous how little accountability there is in this industry.

>all those upset redditors that fell for the lies

Have they patched the PC version yet?

delete this

The only retard here is you because you miss the point of this whole thing by light years.

But stay ignorant it's what you do best. Can't imagine what you'd be like in real life, I feel sorry for the people who have to interact with you.

I think you missed the point.

No industry investor gives a fuck about a bunch of Youtuber's and Redditors opinion, they care about money, stupid.

No Man's Sky beat all 3 Halo pre-sales with 170,000 copies.

Over 2,000,000 units solds.

One of the highest selling games on Steam, ever.

It's an indie title that sold like a AAA title.

I'm sure Sean is crying all the way to the bank.
