Really dumb claim in the first place. What a waste of time.

Someone showed them the back of the box, I guess.

Was it someone from GAF?
Correction. Waste of lawyers time and money. And whoever in government had to process it. What a ridiculous suit in the first place.

Yeah I mean.... I don't think anyone really suffered any sort of significant loss by not experiencing true 1080p.

Good. The guy was a doosh nozzle for pushing this and I hope he lost a ton of cash trying to go after Sony/GG.

There is hope for humanity yet. Did we ever find out which Gaffer did this?
Resolution.
It says resolution in the link.

I'm sure they didn't mind.
Thanks. Was having trouble accessing the site.
Still don't personally like the solution they used for MP resolution but it definitely didn'r warrant a lawsuit of all things.

He got a free copy of KZ: Shadowfall.
The dude behind the complaint contacted me personally after I covered the story. He seemed to be fairly adamant about it based on the principle, discussing how little it would end up being when split up among all class members of the suit.
Still delusional, but not a troll.

Seems like a strange cause to take on for a 60 something Chaplain. But 'A' for effort I guess.

Good.
This lawsuit was the stupidest thing that happened in gaming that year.
Basically, KZ shadow fall provieds a full HD output without scaling but uses information from previous frames to fill up alternating columns of pixels. What this guy was saying, I want my frame to be freshly rendered, right out of the oven. Or something.

That person needs to be counter-sued for the same amount so people stop doing this.

Just to clarify for anyone on GAF without legal knowledge, "dismissed with prejudice" just means that the plaintiff can't file another lawsuit on the same grounds as this suit. Nothing like how we'd typically use the word prejudice outside of the legal realm.
Well said. I remember the original thread about this calling for Sony's head for lying and other craziness.

Took this long for them to figure out what your average sane person deduced months ago.

The semantics involving native resolution was my favorite.
But yea, people were gunning hard.

Looks like there was a settlement but the public is not privileged to its contents.

As dumb as that lawsuit was, its nice to know we live in country where we can sue a company over pixels.
Who know's he probably got a million bucks.
