Sony, the so-called game publisher, is getting sued over misleading customers in their online store by using terms like "buy" and "purchase" while they really mean "borrow". But Sony will not take it lying down, they brought the famous legal defence strategy of "nah-ah".
Yes, Sony is actually paying some lawyers to represent them in courts with the defence strategy of "customers are stupid". Or, to put it more clearly, they argue that no "reasonable customer" would assume that by clicking "buy" or "purchase" he is actually buying something. No, no, no, of course not, any "reasonable customer" already knows that those terms mean a limited, non-exclusive, personal and, what is most important, revocable license to access the game.
I mean, fair play, the button with "get limited, non-exclusive, personal and, revocable license to access this game" would look silly in the store, right? It is always better to hide the non-important details from the customers. They are stupid anyway, so they won’t understand what that means, right? Why bother their little brains with details what exactly they pay for?
Their another brilliant argument was that if two of the plaintiffs bought the same game 11 days apart, it could not be possible if it was a literal sale. The argument is that the second one could not buy the game, because the first one already bought it 11 days prior. I mean... how many peanuts does it cost to hire a brilliant mind that came up with that strategy?
F*ck Sony. No, not because of their shady practices, or those lawsuits, just in general, f*ck Sony. And if you are one of the stupid people, who pay them good money for the, apparently, limited, non-exclusive, personal and, revocable license to access their games, f*ck you too. It’s because of people like you, we are in the deep poop right now.

Ubisoft, u ok hun?
Ubisoft, the beloved company behind some of the most popular game series on the market, is in deep (redacted) right now. And all that can be heard in the background is sarcastic clapping all around the world.
Bethesda has done it again
Bethesda has done it again, and no one is surprised. Yes, they shot themselves in the foot and soon they will run out of feet to sacrifice. This time it was the Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition.
It can be assumed, that Wargaming is taking the p!ss
Yes, you could assume that after recent events Wargaming, company behind World of Tanks and World of Warships, would be more careful, but if you assumed that you clearly do not know this company for very long.
Wargaming is leaving Russia and Belarus
Wargaming.net, a company behind World of Tanks and World of Warships (also World of Warplanes, but realistically who cares?) is apparently leaving Russia and Belarus.
I’m with stupid
It seems like the media in the gaming industry has still a lot to learn from the examples such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Anthem - hype is not everything. Why do I mention it? No, I’m not gonna talk about Cyberpunk 2077 again, some other title caught my attention and by pure coincidence it was a Polish game as well.
Football-o-Rama returns
Football-o-Rama, a multiplayer online football manager game is about to make comeback after several years of hiatus. The browser game should be available to first public users in about 2 weeks time.
