Guy that sued subway for their "footlong" sandwitches is now suing gamestop for a DLC - BlueScreen - 08-12-2013
A federal judge has allowed a person to proceed with the lawsuit against game chain GameStop. John Farley in New Jersey has gone to court after being dissatisfied by buying used games at games giant. After purchasing games that require online access to full ding gaming experience, he has now experienced what "one time codes" are. Not surprisingly, the codes that came with the game used by the guy that bought it new, and to get access to exclusive DLC and online services he has to buy a new copy of the game. Farley believes this is misleading information and has taken the case to court.
Part of the lawsuit is justified by the cover of the game emphasizes that downloadable content is free with the purchase, and GameStop intentionally fails to mention extra costs of buying a used game from them.
Now that the case goes to court and will not be stopped on the basis of obvious reasons for denial. There are two other unnamed people who are also part of the lawsuit.
Online access codes has often been criticized by consumers and believed to be a violation of their rights, and earlier this year announced EA that they would stop using online passes for all their current and future games.
It is also worth mentioning that Farley has sued Subway on the basis that they are not a foot-long (12 inches) but only 11 inches long, and thus engaged in improper advertising. The outcome of this trial is not mentioned.

He is in the right with the whole Gamestop thing, but seriously, to sue Subway for losing an inch, this dude is money hungry. (Anyone get my pun?)

I don't see how you can agree on that whole gamestop thing. First of all, its just $20. The avarage person earns 40x that in an hour. Second of all, if he buys a USED GAME where on the cover it says he needs an online pass, he must surely understand the user before him has already used the online pass, and gamestop shouldn't have to stop selling used games because of this one little lowcore gamer that wants to ruin for everyone by suing gamestop for a $20 DLC.

Whilst is seems this guy is being a nob, this may do one of two things:
> Drop the price of games on GameStop
> Abolish online access codes

They already did stop online access codes, but this little faggot decided he wanted to save $4 and buy a used game instead of the newer ones which do not have access codes, because we all know online passes are fucking retarded and shall never be spoken of ever again.
