"“Causing Psychologically Harmful Video Game Addiction In Players”"
Ever wanted to take on most of the biggest publishers and developers in the video game industry? Live in Canada? Well the Consumer Law Group has a class-action lawsuit for you.
That’s the Canadian law firm proposing a class-action lawsuit against a number of the games industry’s biggest players, including (but not limited to) Sony, Microsoft, Rockstar, Take-Two, Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts, Roblox, Epic Games, Mojang Studios, Nintendo of America, Ubisoft and Ubisoft Montreal.
Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.
It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.
I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games
Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.
Game writer Kazutaka Kodaka's Too Kyo Games company and DMM Games' EXNOA company revealed on Friday that they are developing the Shuten Kyodan video game. The game's X/Twitter account revealed that the game will release for DMM Games, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
Get ready for some nostalgia.
Yes,
and I absolutely loved the logo of Sierra for some reason.
Maybe, mainly because of F.E.A.R. 😈
EXACTLY what i was thinking!! My thoughts immediately went to FEAR as soon as i read Sierra.
In video games there are two logos that appear before the title screen. One is the publisher and one is the developer.
In your question, Monolith is the developer so the logo they are speaking about is the one for Sierra, the publisher.
Hope this helps.
yes, everyone or at least most people should try to play some of them
I never played any 80s games, but played most of the 90's and early 2000's Sierra games
"[...]basically if you’ve played or bought a game from any of the above studios, and this class-action suit goes all the way to a win, then you’ll be owed some kind of compensation.
Of course whether or not the suit actually gets that far is a whole different story. The CLG isn’t wrong to point out that games are designed in ways to make them addictive, and they’re not the first to do it.
But taking on multiple giant studios like this is a big gamble that might not pay off at all."
For reference, the article specifies Sony, Microsoft, Rockstar, Take-Two, Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts, Roblox, Epic Games, Mojang Studios, Nintendo of America, Ubisoft and Ubisoft Montreal.
This is frivolous and stupid beyond belief. No specific examples cited here for WHY games coming from these games contribute to addiction.
I'm willing to have a conversation about addiction if they come with sufficient evidence, but this is genuinely dumb.
I am Canadian and this is just totally BS on the law firm. For fact that our economy is sluggish and not doing too well and they think this is an easier way to earn some cash money?
The parents need to be present. The lawyers should go after them.
So this law suit is against fun games...
