Expert Verified By

It Would Have Been Better To Git Gud!

Story Highlight
  • An Elden Ring player recently sued Bandai Namco because of some stupid reasons. 
  • Bandai Namco has responded to the claims and filed a motion to dismiss. 
  • While this was a smart choice from the giant, we will hear more about this motion on 25th September. 

Elden Ring is one of the hardest games ever released, but it is by no means impossible to beat. There are a plethora of things you can use to make the game way easier. However, recently a player decided to sue Bandai Namco over the Elden Ring’s difficulty. 

He wasn’t kidding at all and really thought that the developers intended fewer and fewer players to find out new places hidden behind skill checks. Moreover, he thinks that the developer is hiding things from the fandom and that the cut content is a part of the game. 

So, he decided to sue Bandai Namco over this, and the gaming giant responded. Instead of countersuing, Bandai Namco simply filed a motion to dismiss to make this whole thing go away. 

Why it matters: Suing a behemoth just because it makes hard games is the peak level of stupidity, and such cases shouldn’t even be allowed in the first place.

Bandai Namco's Response
Bandai Namco Was Sued Due To Elden Ring’s Excessive Difficulty

This case was filed on the 1st of July, and notices were sent to both parties. So, now, as spotted by Pirat_Nation on Twitter, Bandai Namco has responded to this case and simply filed a motion to dismiss. The gaming giant also submitted an affidavit in support of the motion.

This is actually pretty hilarious, given that the court allowed such claims by the player to be made. For a normal person to be taking on a shark-like Bandai Namco is plain stupidity. This is just a simple waste of time and resources for both parties. 

The player’s claims aren’t that strong, either. He thinks that the cut contents are actually part of Elden Ring, and the developers are hiding that from the players. He also thinks that many of the game’s places are hidden. 

Bandai Namco has made a smart choice by simply filing a motion to dismiss, which is most likely to be approved. We will get to hear more about this motion on 25th September. It will be interesting to see how things unfold from here on, as the user was unironically pretty confident that he could take down the publisher.
