Perhaps TMSRs silence is pursuant to what just happened to ERTS. "...Late last week, a class action lawsuit was filed against Origin Systems and Electronic Arts, with charges including "negligent misrepresentation" and "breach of express and implied warranties." The subject of the case was the much-disputed Ultima Online. The lawsuit contends that issues such as lag and server crashes have made Origin's claims that the game would be playable in real time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week untrue. Despite how you feel about Ultima Online itself, it's impossible to deny the implications of a case like this, not just for online gaming, but for gaming in general. While the outcome, if the case makes it to trial and if the judgement is for the plaintiffs, could be positive - companies will think twice before advertising features that actually won't be implemented - it could have resoundingly negative effects as well..." GameSpot News has been on this story from the moment the papers were filed. We have the announcement of the case: headline.gamespot.com The actual text of the lawsuit: headline.gamespot.com And some passionate reader responses: headline.gamespot.com &copy 1998 Gamespot Ron Dulin Reviews Editor GameSpot Jim, what did The Oregonian have to say? The Oregon Press sure is quiet when things turn on them...
