The high tech industry could be
characterized by two words: innovation and lawsuits. Day by day we are shocked
by how great and innovative human minds can be and by all those brand new
all-in-one PCs, high def recorders or video gaming devices they invented! But
we are also shocked by all the lawsuits that seem to stick to the companies
behind these great inventions like a leech.
However, the claims that a man
made public in a recently filed lawsuit against Bungie and Microsoft are maybe
the most surprising and hilarious claims we have ever heard. Randy Nunez
accused the two popular companies of releasing a game (that is Halo 3) that is
not compatible with Xbox 360, the console that the video game was specifically and
exclusively designed for. How is that? Halo 3, a major hit that has brought
Microsoft no less than $400 million, is not compatible with the video gaming
console for which it was exclusively designed for! The only question that arises
is why all the other people that bought Halo 3 haven’t noticed this strange
fact too.
Randy Nunez has simple arguments
for filing this lawsuit against Microsoft and Bungie: he bought a copy of the
game and noticed that it does not function with the Xbox 360 and that it
causes the console to “crash”, “freeze” or “lock up” while the game is being
played.
This is not the first time since the
Halo 3 release from September that there have been problems with the game. Microsoft
even replaced a limited edition of copies that were found scratched before they
had even been opened. Still, it is the first time that the fastest selling console
title of all times is involved in a lawsuit.
