The class-action lawsuit put together against Sony for falsely listing Killzone Shadowfall as a native 1080p game has been dismissed. The goal was to sue Sony for $5 million because the multiplayer component of the game ran at 960×1080 rather than the full 1920×1080 resolution.
According to Courthouse News, Judge, Edward Chen, signed a joint stipulation that dismisses the lead plaintiff's lawsuit with prejudice. Each party will need to take care of their own legal costs, but the exact terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
This does mean that those who bought Killzone Shadowfall will not be able to claim any money back for the 1080p mix up. Class-action lawsuits rarely benefit anyone but the lawyers involved, which is especially true in this case as they are the only ones getting paid after all of this.
Either way, it is another bill Sony doesn't need to worry about, which it is probably thankful about due to its poor financial situation.

KitGuru Says: While it is true that Sony did falsely list Killzone Shadowfall as native 1080p for the full game, the mix up did not warrant a lawsuit. Do you guys think this lawsuit deserved to be dismissed?
Lawsuits for erroneous items in listed specs are ridiculous.
Waste of time, waste of money, waste of resources. The U.S.A. really needs to pass laws that prevent lawsuits from whiney bitches who were not satisfied with a product. I think Coke Zero and Diet Dr. Pepper taste nothing like their sugared counterparts, but I don’t anti up an ambulance chaser to get me millions. No, I simply don’t buy the products. It really is that simple. Assassin’s Creed is full of holes, un-optimizations, and piss poor QC, so I didn’t but it. I would have to be a fucking retard to buy the game and sue Ubisoft. But hey, that’s America for you.
You’re literally missing the entire point of lawsuits. One major facet of their existence is to allow consumers to seek compensation for when services received are not as advertised, which it could easily be argued this was a case of. There’s absolutely nothing frivolous about it.
You are partially right since it’s always good not to buy games with preorders or without having some feedbacks from them…I think that preorders or blind buys are the most stupid things ever made.
Here in europe however console videogames are really expensive, they charge like 60€ for really basic versions and up to 70-80€ for premium ones and all that stupid bullshit they claim to sell you…so I think it’s legitimate if you want to have some (even moral) revenge, since you spent A LOT of money for a product that claims to give you false performances…you notice FOR sure a 960×1080 resolution, it sucks a lot, especially in multiplayer when your reaction must be at top level and you need to see the best out of a game.
If U.S.A. doesn’t care about all these “little” lawsuits then it will be a mess, every producer can make the shittiest games in the world with the best advertisings telling you that it’s a 4k downscaled game with 3d perception of the world without having external hardware and…well you buy it, don’t you?
