Gamebro.biz.id - At one point, the people who made the Switch 2 thought about naming it the Super Nintendo Switch. They opted against it, though, because it could play original Switch games, while the Super NES from 1990 couldn't play games from the NES from 1983. I played with it all weekend and think the Switch Pro is a better moniker. It's more like a modernized and improved version of the original system than a whole new generation. The bigger screen and faster processor are the most visible improvements, but every part of the system is better. The larger Joy-Cons seem stronger and are easier to operate. I like how they magnetically clip onto the console. The user interface is a graceful but somewhat monotonous version of the Switch's, with mild haptic feedback and nice little sounds that make it feel like you're playing. Some people might be upset that the Switch OLED model goes back to a regular LCD screen, but the quality is good and the extra screen spac...
The lawyer says The company that makes Call of Duty can't be held liable for what the Texas school gunman did
Families of the victims are suing Activision and Meta, arguing the companies are responsible for the products the gunman used.
Gamebro.biz.id - On Friday, a lawyer for the company that makes the video game Call of Duty said that a judge should throw out a case brought by the families of the victims of the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The lawyer said that the game's content is protected by the First Amendment.
The families are suing Activision, the company that makes Call of Duty, and Meta Platforms, the company that owns Instagram. They argue that the corporations are responsible for the items that the young gunman utilized.
There were three sets of parents in the audience at the Los Angeles hearing who had lost children in the incident.
Bethany Kristovich, a lawyer for Activision, told Judge William Highberger that "the first amendment bars their claims, period full stop."
Kristovich remarked, "The problems with gun violence are very hard." "The proof in this case is not."
She said that the case doesn't have much of a chance of winning if it goes on, because courts have said many times that "creators of artistic works, whether they be books, music, movies, TV, or video games, cannot be held legally liable for the acts of their audience."
The complaint was filed last year on the second anniversary of one of the bloodiest school shootings in US history. It was one of many that Uvalde family filed. The shooter killed two teachers and 19 kids. After waiting more than an hour to get into the fourth-grade classroom, officers finally confronted him and shot him.
Josh Koskoff, the families' lawyer, displayed contracts and letters between Activision officials and gun manufactures at the court. He stated that the game plainly and accurately shows the guns, even though their names don't appear.
He added that the shooter went through "the absorption and the loss of self in Call of Duty."
Koskoff said the shooter was so into the game that he looked online for ways to get an armored suit that he didn't know was just in the game.
Koskoff showed a Call of Duty footage in which a first-person shooter shot at enemies.
The guns rang out loudly in the courtroom, and a few people in the audience slowly shook their heads.
Family lawyers are scheduled to talk about the Activision case's First Amendment implications later on Friday.
Before the hearing, Highberger told the lawyers that he wasn't leaning in any direction, so it's unlikely that he will make a decision right away.
Meta was not part of this hearing or the motion that was being contested.
