It's not uncommon for gamers to take legal action against publishers or developers when they feel dissatisfied with a game. This year alone, we've seen a fan of The Crew try to sue Ubisoft for shutting down servers and a group of gamers attempting to stop Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Now, a fan of Elden Ring has joined the list of lawsuits, claiming that only half of FromSoftware's games have been discovered because they are too difficult for even the most dedicated players.
The fan, who posted their complaint on 4chan, announced that they will be taking Bandai Namco to court on September 25, 2024. They believe that there is a whole hidden game within Elden Ring that has yet to be discovered. In their argument, they stated, "You paid for content that you can't access, without even knowing about it." This lawsuit has been registered in small claims court in Massachusetts, but the website is currently down, making it difficult to verify any additional information.
The fan continued to explain their reasoning, saying that game developers cater to "crazy people" who have the courage to explore the unknown world. They also claimed that hackers have been lying about content being cut, when in reality it is just undiscovered. When other fans questioned their logic, the arguments became even more confusing, with talk of strange developer conspiracies dating back decades. It's hard to believe that this is just a troll, especially since a small claims complaint has been filed against Bandai Namco.
Both FromSoftware and Bandai Namco have not responded to the lawsuit publicly, but it's safe to assume that it will be dismissed when it goes to court. Elden Ring is considered to be the easiest of FromSoftware's games and has been a huge success, with its DLC also receiving positive reviews. However, if the complaints are genuine, it's possible that the fan has misunderstood dataminers discovering unused or unfinished content in the game, which is common in most games.
The difficulty of Elden Ring is not a secret, and many players have successfully completed it. In fact, it's widely considered to be easier than other Soulslike games by FromSoftware. Despite this, the fan firmly believes that there is more to the game that has yet to be discovered. Only time will tell if they will be proven right or if this lawsuit will be dismissed.
