You cant sue. You waived your right to do so when you agreed to the EULA agreement. However, I have considered forming a group to counter this. If you cant sue, you can spread the word so others dont make the same mistakes (or at least know what they are getting into). The only way to get the attention of a corp like Ubisoft is to hurt them in the only place they care, their pocketbook.  SC: Conviction... never heard of it. |

You can still sue, regardless of what a EULA says. Plenty of people have and are doing so. A EULA can't protect a company from doing something illegal, such as selling a product that doesn't work as stated on the outside of the packaging.

To be able to proceed you would have to show that you had the requirements for the game as listed on the packaging and it still would not work. If you have an NVidia 8XXX series video card, it is not on the list of supported hardware and would not have a case. Vista is also not listed as a supported opperating system so if you are using that, again you have no case. You have to rule out that you do not have a defective copy by trying other versions and getting the same results. Laptops are specifically stated as not being supported.

You may wish to speak to your attorney, your interpretation is only slightly true. Yes, no contract is going to hold water if something illegal is involved. For example, you friend signs a contract with you saying he guarantees you wont go to jail if you copy software and sale it for less than the company who wrote the software. In this case, the contract is useless. Now, in this case, the EULA is different. You have to define so many terms that it will be ambiguous from the word go. Define "functional". Define "the way it was intended to run". What computer is ideal to run with minimum requirements... nothing is mentioned about motherboard for example or what brands for some of the minimum required components. So, where do you think you have a guarantee that anything will work on your computer. The answer is, you dont have one. The computer manufacturer (example: Dell), the hardware manufacturer (example: NVidia), or the software manufacturer (example: Ubisoft) will never give you a guarantee like that. They will just keep pointing fingers and that will be that. The only way to deal with this, and I cant stress this enough: DONT BUY PRODUCTS FROM COMPANIES WHO DONT SUPPORT THEIR PRODUCTS!!!! SC: Conviction... never heard of it.

why dosent anyone of the devs have the freaking guts to come on to the forum and say sorry or something, realease a freakin patch plz omg we say plz, nothing happens, we get mad, nothing happens, we sue them... is that the last option? is that what they want?
or is it just a bad comunication problem between devs and forum mods :S
