Elden Ring玩家起诉Bandai Namco和FromSoftware,声称游戏内容被故意隐藏

一名《艾尔登法环》玩家对Bandai Namco和FromSoftware提起诉讼,指控开发者隐瞒了大量的游戏内容,误导消费者。本文将深入探讨这场诉讼,分析其胜算,并探究原告的真实意图。

玩家在小额索赔法庭提起诉讼

“技术问题”掩盖的游戏内容

一名《艾尔登法环》玩家在4chan论坛上宣布,将于今年9月25日将Bandai Namco告上法庭,声称《艾尔登法环》和其他FromSoftware游戏包含“隐藏在内部的全新游戏”,并指控开发者通过极高的游戏难度故意掩盖这些内容。

FromSoftware游戏以其极具挑战性但公平的难度而闻名。《艾尔登法环》最新DLC“艾尔德之树的阴影”更是强化了这一印象,即使是经验丰富的玩家也发现新增内容“过于困难”。

然而,原告——4chan用户名为Nora Kisaragi的玩家——认为,游戏的高难度掩盖了大量内容未被发现的事实。他们认为Bandai Namco和FromSoftware虚假宣传游戏完整性,并引用数据挖掘内容作为证据。与其他认为这些内容是从最终产品中删除的玩家不同,原告坚称这些内容是被故意隐藏的。

原告承认没有确凿证据支持他们的说法,而是依赖于他们所谓的开发者“不断暗示”。他们提到了《只狼》的艺术设定集,暗示了苇名一心作为“故事另一面忍者”的潜力,以及FromSoftware社长宫崎英高在《血源诅咒》中关于人类作为“等待打破的枷锁”角色的言论。

他们总结了自己的诉讼理由:“你购买了无法访问的内容,甚至不知道它的存在。”

许多人认为此案荒谬,因为即使FromSoftware游戏中隐藏着另一个游戏,数据挖掘者也早就应该发现并公开。

游戏代码和文件中通常包含被删减内容的残留物。这通常是由于时间限制或开发限制造成的。这是游戏行业中的常见做法,并不一定表示内容被故意隐藏。

诉讼能否成立?

根据原告提起诉讼的马萨诸塞州政府网站,任何18岁或以上的成年人都可以在小额索赔法庭提起诉讼。这是一个非正式法庭,因此无需律师。然而,案件的有效性将在庭审日期之前或当天由法官决定。

原告可以根据“消费者保护法”提出索赔,该法规定“不公平或欺骗性行为是非法的”,他们可以声称开发者“未能告知您有关产品或服务的相关信息,或以任何方式误导您”。然而,证明这些说法将是一项艰巨的挑战。原告必须提供充分的证据来支持他们关于游戏存在“隐藏维度”的指控。他们还必须解释这种欺骗行为如何损害消费者。如果没有确凿的证据,该案很可能会因高度推测性和缺乏依据而被驳回。

需要注意的是,即使原告设法克服这些障碍并胜诉,小额索赔法庭判处的潜在损害赔偿也是有限的。

尽管如此,原告仍然坚持自己的诉讼。“我不在乎案件是否被驳回,只要能让Namco Bandai公开承认这个维度的存在,这就够了,”原告在4chan帖子中说道。
