General Discussion - Could GGG, Shopify, and Zizaran be prosecuted? - Forum

" Kopogero wrote: Since the Gauntlet event specifically requires and encourages not sleeping to significantly increase your chances at winning, especially for the biggest prize competing with 15,000+ others, could the parties above be prosecuted, especially if due to this specific event there has been a death reported? I'm also not talking about scrub change, but millions for the victims family if a death has been reported linked and associated with this event as well as hundreds of thousands in punitive damages in a class action lawsuit for the rest who've been lured into this type of event, without any warning of what not sleeping or lack of sleep for many days can cause? T PLease provide any evidence of this. Oh wait there is none. Imagine trying to prosecute anyone with your opinion .......hahahahahahahaha	Posted by medicated03#7220 on Mar 29, 2021, 6:04:42 PM Quote this Post

I'm still waiting for the conversation to turn onto those evil energy drink companies. There are lots of things people want to stay up for an unhealthy amount of time doing, but as OP said it's only possible because of the sinister energy drink conglomerate. Someone needs to do something. We need to do something. Rise up! Funny you should mention that https://www.classaction.com/energy-drinks/lawsuit/ In 2013, a 33-year-old Brooklyn man named Cory Terry suffered a heart attack and died after drinking a Red Bull on a break in between rec league basketball games. His family filed an $85 million wrongful death suit against Red Bull: this suit is still pending. The issue here is not whether people should take responsibility for their own actions, it is whether a lawyer can convince a judge that someone else is responsible. The law and what the average person thinks of as common sense are not always aligned.	Posted by Onecardtoomany#6433 on Mar 29, 2021, 6:28:33 PM Quote this Post

I do wonder that if non-controlled substances need a warning label for misuse, are there any products that you can imagine not needing a warning label? As others have said, anything, literally anything and everything can be misused in multiple ways. Will you be the hero who anticipates them all? Shall we add them as we think of them?

Absolutely agree, unfortunately incurring defence costs as a result of a lawsuit being filed against you are real and is a 1 to 1 correlation. However, my point was not to advocate this situation rather to highlight how litigious people can be. I think it is fair to say that the world has gone mad, which is why, despite the villains who reside there Wraeclast is a much better place to be. In a mad mad world - stay sane as an exile.

" [Removed by Support] [Removed by Support] I say meet em halfway - give em' their warning labels and have a nice day. For those of us who appreciate freedom and that freedom is not risk free we lose nothing. Okay, maybe you have to skip to page 76 of the powertool manual you just bought to see how to use it. No biggie. Git R Dun! Last edited by Al_GGG#0000 on Apr 1, 2021, 9:41:04 PM	Posted by Aim_Deep#3474 on Mar 30, 2021, 12:22:33 AM Quote this Post
no, there used to be such a thing called personal responsibility.	Posted by Anton__Chigur#9285 on Mar 30, 2021, 12:37:45 AM Quote this Post
Please get behind the folks that sued McDonalds for being burned by hot coffee that they spilled on their own damn laps. Oh wait... they won!	Posted by Shanopla#6271 on Mar 31, 2021, 6:24:36 PM Quote this Post

The only thing I can think to add is to assert my opinion that Kopogero is probably just trolling. Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!

I doubt he is trolling. I be he is one of those gamers who thinks they are good, they then get to a certain level where people are willing to invest more, try harder, no-life, a LOT more than themselves. It feels bad, and you realize you are not really a power gamer. You feel things are unfair, maybe you should be able to win without trying so hard? Maybe its not you, its that the challenge is unfair... Just dont do the stupid challenge man. Get a real job, make money that way. Invest. Play PoE for fun only. Stop playing when its boring or not fun or healthy. Profit!	Posted by trixxar#2360 on Apr 1, 2021, 1:19:02 AM Quote this Post
