Do something about timesinks

Sue.

There Is A Lawsuit Featuring World Of Warcraft, Winona Ryder & Depeche Mode - World of Warcraft - Kotaku

"Estavillo claims the company (Activision Blizzard) "continues to maintain a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow [World of Warcraft's] sneaky and deceitful practices".

And what could those "sneaky and deceitful practices" be? Walking is one of them, as he feels it takes too long to get from one point to the other in the game world."

So for everyone who thinks that it takes 15-30 minutes to walk from Windurst to Jeuno just so that SE can get more money out of you, sue 'em. That will teach those bastards to make a large, expansive world.

How the fuck could anybody regulate something like that?

Oh, you're creating a virtual world? Well, let me check it out, I need to make sure the distance between any two points doesn't exceed a certain amount; specifically an amount deemed able to create a harmful virtual environment through sneaky and deceitful practices.

The dude clearly has money to spend on frivolous lawsuits, as such he probably has the money to see a shrink.

But why do I get the feeling this guy has forsaken any attempt at treatment he's been givenT

Well, after that Sal guy married Nene Anegasaki, nothing surprises me anymore. Are we sure that this dude suing Blizzard isn't Jack Thompson?

The most interesting part in that article was, "He also believes that, because of a litany of health problems he suffers from (including OCD, agoraphobia, depression and Crohn's Disease), he's at risk of sharing the fate of Shawn Woolley, an Everquest player who committed suicide in 2001."

Someone needs to get over themselves, get a job, and grow up. One of the best cure's for depression is volunteer work. I know from first hand experience.

EDIT: I take it back the job part. He's a UCLA Graduate. Now I'm even more floored.

EDIT: o.O This guy sued Sony PS3? And Sony admitted that their End User Agreement was a bunch of legal jargon they borrowed from some undisclosed source. -FLATLINES- I have to thanks the OP for brining up this topic. What a conversationalist piece.

Graduate != job holder. Especially in an economy like this with 10% unemployment.

Just saying.

And yet nothing of value would be lost.

Navi never bothered me. It wasn't until I started to spend a lot of time online that I realized so many people didn't like her.

Tingle, on the other hand...
