Guaranteed profit?

If they were to make the codes obsolete then any direct disbributors would be reimbursed, and the amount of comsumers who would sue for $7.95 is minimal, and any who did would just be paid off for the $15.

Yeah, i just doubt they'd bother making the old cards obsolete. In the grand scheme of things for Jagex, it makes a lot more sense just honouring them. Their marginal cost on memberships is close to 0.

damn RuneScape prices are ridiuclous for a game with shit servers.

Lawsuits are crazy man, people sue over anything that they can make money off of. It's not the amount of money they lost, it's the amount they can gain. What about the guy that settled for $13 million with Red Bull because it didn't give him wings? A local JCPenny (clothing department) store near me was sued for $4 million after a black friday sale had said 20% off a certain shirt and the lady only got 15% off when she got home she realized it.

Also, that's just a huge hassle. Making all the cards currently in circulation obsolete? And there's no way they'll be able to reimburse everyone that bought the cards previously. The easiest way to get around that is to say "I clearly bought a card that was advertised for a 1 month membership for X amount of money. I don't want the money back, I paid for it and I want what was advertised for."

I'd really like to see where Jagex plans on going with this...

Lol bro it's a common idea that you can make a lawsuit for some minor shit, but those payouts you see aren't to one person they are to thousands or even millions. If an individual person was to get million+ settlement it would have to be some serious shit....ex man lost in jails for dui for 2 years --- had to pull his own teeth almost dehydrated to death settled for 21M. Lawsuits are all based on damages, there being absolutely fucking none over this... the only thing jagex would pay is the balance of the mem or whatever.. but honestly who gives a fuck about this game anymore.

 

It's a risk that one might take, but it's a risky risk.
