Possible to sue companies for lack of security/support?

If you want to sue someone you have to prove they caused some kind of harm. Your MS account is basically imaginary and a judge will lol at you for complaining about losing that.

When will you people stop?

Those of us who don't give Nexon money essentially have no recourse, though.

Not if a lawyer can prove that virtual items have real life monetary value.

EDIT: Fun fact about the ToS, if you tried to sue them saying they did something inadequately the ToS says Nexon is responsible for, they'd probably try to kick out of it and say those provisions are unenforceable. If there's no real underlying harm, the court would probably accept that.

Hey. Look. Nonsense.

you can sue them if it gets you sick or gives you a decease. Can't sue them, if their food just sucks or if they take like 2 hours to get your food, lol pretty sure they would of refunded you if it took that long

You definitely couldn't sue for the food not being to your taste, but you could possibly sue for them taking excessively long to complete your order.

Of course, as you said, in those instances the restaurant would likely compensate you with a free appetizer or something.
Most people would realize it would be moronic to even attempt to sue for something so minor, and will be more than satisfied with a free plate of cheesy fries.

I really wish people would stop thinking Terms of Service are fully legally binding. They are not. They exist for two reasons: one is to make people feel powerless (often successful, as demonstrated here) and the other is to cover their asses as much as possible. While not everything in there would hold in the court of law, it sure as hell gives them more room to argue against the consumer than if they had nothing.

I like to think of those people as the perfectly pathetic example of why such Terms of Service exist in the first place.


OH, speaking of things I wish people would stop thinking, can we cut the pomegranate with the "a judge would just laugh the case out" bullpomegranate?
Anyone who says such things clearly has an infantile understanding of the court system.
People don't just walk into a court office and declare "I want to sue!"
Before that, they need to consult a lawyer.

Lawyers, having had to take years of schooling to specialize in their specialty, aren't generally idiots.
Good lawyers aren't going to reasonably advise their clients to pursue a lawsuit that has absolutely no chance of ruling in their clients' favor.

You'd think they have really good lawyers there, after seeing how much money they earn. So it'd be pretty hard to win in court against them, unless you had one who is as good and can argue your points well enough.

This is why an individual wouldn't be taking Nexon to court.
They'd start a class-action lawsuit.
