Won't win, should've read the instruction booklets for the game and the system before playing. Surprised we're letting people this stupid become pilots. However, while playing Bethesda games I've noticed the textures flickering pretty aggressively and it gave me a bit of eye strain. Ryan may have received a seizure from those.

People will do anything this days for money, huh?

i don't really recall anything in this game that could be labeled as 'Seizure Inducing.' well, maybe the animation when you switch to 3rd person mode, but who would be silly enough to do that?

Considering every game released in the last decade has warnings about photosensitive seizures I doubt this is going to go through.

"I personally don't remember any strobe light parties going on in Cyrodiil." LOL That's so true! This guy is most likely lying and is just trying to get someone to pay for his bills.

Isn't there a disclaimer in the instruction booklet? If there is he will lose. And he probably doesn't have any way of proving that the game was the thing that caused his seizure.

The only thing I can think of that involves flashing lights or whatever is when you take a sigil stone (correct terminology? been a while since I've played the game) from an Oblivion gate and it explodes or something.

I'm sure the Air Force will still take him ;)

If he wins this case, does it mean I'll be able to sue the producers of Sex in the City for killing my libido?

Hey I threw up while my brother was playing wind waker. I should sue Nintendo!

It's better he have his first seizure sitting on his couch in front of his television instead of flying a $50 million jet, traveling 800 mph over someone's back yard. He should be thanking Bethesda for saving his life.

I really don't remember any flashing lights in oblivion except for some lightning, and those wheren't more than 3 flashes/second

Honestly, I feel bad for the guy for having a seizure, but what video games doesn't protect themselves from getting in trouble from something like that? You have to go through so many warnings before playing one. If this guy wins, I just don't know what to think anymore.

At first glance I thought this was about ES5; I think we should sue him for making us think this was news about Skyrim when it really wasn't... And Oblivion has been out forever, I would think it would have caused a seizure by now if it could.

Yeah good luck winning this case.  Every game has a warning that says it may cause seizures even if you've never had them before.  No chance in this case.

Medical bills? If he is active duty, they pay for those. This just screams horse ***. I'd love to see what other games he has played in the past, and if he lied about any previous seizures. I don't buy it.

He didn't get a seziure from the game he got a seziure from the awesomness...

If he bought it used without a manual he's suing the wrong people. If he had the manual then he should have read it. Either way Bethesda is guilty of nothing and this chode shouldn't be trying to point fingers.

When I read the title of this article, I couldn't help but laugh. Don't all games have a big Warning on the intro about seizures and stuff? People will always find a reason to sue. He will probably win since the system is so flawed.

EVERY video game has a warning on the first page inside the manual that there is a risk of seizures. Just because he didn't read it doesn't mean it was Bethesda's fault.
