  1. Suing a game manufacturer? by mat+catastrophe · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Outside of the game causing your console to overheat and burn down your house, why would anyone sue a game manufacturer? Outside of the Atari 7800 Impossible Mission fiasco, I've never even been all that upset with a game.

    Am I missing something? I probably am, since I also miss why adults sink so much money into games. Don't you people have children? Don't you drink?

  2. Everyone requires you sign away your rights. by Jackie_Chan_Fan · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It should be illegal to make people sign away their right for justice and a trial.

    Halliburton raped a female worker in Iraq, locked her in a shipping crate under armed guard and when she tried to take them to court, haliburton informed her that as per her employment contractual agreements, she had signed away her right to do so.

    She's been fighting for her right to take them to court, and finally has a court date.

    FUCK EA. FUCK corporations.
