Setback for Marvel in NCSoft Lawsuit

Posted by Zonk on from the thank-goodness-for-common-sense dept.

DeeFresh writes "An article on Gamesindustry.biz is reporting that Judge R. Gary Klausner dismissed many of the Marvel's claims against NCSoft. From the article: 'Judge Klausner also agreed with the defendants that some of Marvel's allegations and exhibits should be stricken as 'false and sham' because they were not actually created by users of the game but by Marvel itself.'" Commentary also available on Gamespot.com.

    I thought people got their kicks out of car-jacking and beating up prostitutes.

    Well, good thing there are still some people that enjoy kicking bad-guy ass.

    One complaint I have about those that oppose videogame violence is that they never talk about the context of the violence.

    There seems a world of difference between videogame violence "for great justice" and simple thug violence.
