Only $50K?

What is the cost of a human life? As little as those in power can pay for it.

“…in excess of $50k.” This language is defined by the Florida Wrongful Death statute and means at least $50,001 but can be much more.

I think a lot of people were expecting this. I don’t know what their lawyers were thinking, $50k absolutely is absolutely nothing to Disney.

Whereas, I’ve seen this story everywhere and no one is defending Disney. This makes them look horrible. You clicked “I accept”, so now you can’t sue them for an in-person issue at one of their parks? What are you talking about?? I realize they might want to set a precedent, but I don’t think any judge would ignore public sentiment about this and side with Disney. So now they look awful for absolutely no gain…

Beyond making them look horrible, they were marching towards a court ruling against the forced arbitration clause.

Once there is a precedent for the clause being unenforceable, the clause ceases to be a deterrent to legal action - every claim would be litigated at the very least to settle the question of whether arbitration is required in a specific case.

When you see [Everyone Hated That] pop up after your last choice, and you panic and try to load a previous save, but the game remembers what you already did.

hmm, that would be an interesting feature for a RPG game. Are there any games that have that feature? Like some anti savescumming?

I understand that that annoying Undertale game did this.

Pathologic 2. When you die it applies the consequences to all of your saves all you can’t go back and change it

Oh, that’s a good point, I didn’t think of it this way. I felt that Pathologic 2 handled it pretty well, because the first time I died, I was confused at how it framed the consequences (instead of a straightforward “you died! Load earlier save?”, you get a conversation with an NPC that explains some of the consequences, albeit somewhat obtusely). The actual consequences of death felt surprisingly forgiving, given all I’ve heard about Pathologic (especially the first few deaths).

The original animal crossing had something like that. If you turned off the console without saving, a mole named Resetti or something like that would rant at you about how you aren’t supposed to do that. The rant would get longer the more times you turned off the console without saving.

I agree. A little fourth wall breaking even to go with it. “You thought you could just reload? Sorry mate, some things can’t be so easily undone.”

If executed well, the shock of a moment like that would be sublime.

Undertale had this. It allowed you to reload the older save and undo what you did, but it kept a second, hidden save file that you couldn’t easily erase.
