#9 Star Wars Fans Take on Sony

This could depict the classic case of to what extent the addict can go to. The Star Wars Galaxy players couldn’t get enough of MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game), when Lucas Arts and Sony Online Entertainment decided to throw towel on the popular game saying “upgrade fellas, there’s plenty of MMO for everyone”.

The fans took on to online tirade against the online gaming partners, which fizzled out when company came out with the stament “Regarding the Star Wars Galaxies petitions, we first want to thank everyone for taking the time to organize such an effort. As always, we appreciate your feedback, and I can assure you with 100% confidence that your feelings have been heard.” But any way the game got scrapped off. The next inevitable step for the game fanatics is to file class actions lawsuit against Sony Online Important (SOL).

There was no chance that the fans could win, for they signed an end user agreement for the online game, which though in tiny font, states clearly that the company can call off the game anytime it wants.

Result:

Case ignored
