I thought you weren't allowed to post leaked images on these forums. Those images aren't legal just because a guy who got their copy early posted them.

It's fun! Like watching two girls slap each other, but with words...

Can I slap you? Nicely of course, with plenty of cuddling after :wub:

I tired of people saying it isn't legal. There is no law preventing my purchase of the game early. The retailer might not be living up to their obligations in their contract for sale, but I have broken no laws if I buy the game early. At most, it's a contract breach on the part of the retailer. I would have done nothing illegal.

You guys honestly think Bethesda has no idea that people are raving about this? I can see them watching the damn topic...

Besides, who really cares? I'm sure they'll figure it out and fix it. Every game that's ever been released has had bugs/glitches/texture issues. The game is going to be awesome. Everyone who's played it so far has said it's awesome. That's what you should be focusing on.

:facepalm:

Look, I sympathize with people here. I hope this issue is either false, or gets fixed promptly. Issues like this are not good for anyone, consumer's or Bethesda alike, even if it does not directly affect you.

HOWEVER,

If you are NOT a member of the Press that has received a review copy, then there is NO SUCH thing as a LEGITIMATE EARLY COPY of the game. The release date is 11/11/11 ... PERIOD. I don't care if you paid for the game or not that does not wash away the fact that the law has been broken (Street Date Broken) and magically makes it legal.


Come on people.... lets at least be honest, and call a mudcrab a mudcrab here.


I'm not a fan of piracy and I'm not happy that stores are breaking street date. HOWEVER- there is no law, in any country, that states a consumer is legally liable or responsible for a CONTRACT between a retail establishment and an outside company. No one signed anything- as a consumer you are LEGALLY ALLOWED to purchase anything the store sells that is not stolen merchandise. PERIOD.

Come on people...let's at least be honest and stop being so ignorant.

This game was made with the Xbox in mind, not PCs. I'm trying to figure out why so many PC users are so F-ing snobby. Some of us can't spend tons of money on custom PC's or even for simple upgrades. I waited until Black Friday three years ago for my computer. It's not the worst, but it's not the best. Would I love a new computer built just for gaming? Hell yes. But do I have it? No. I have to "make do" with the 360 and it's so-called inferior hardware. What I'm tired of is reading and seeing PC users constantly being smug about how nothing ever goes wrong for them, and "my graphics are so much better than yours" mentality. What? Do you want a cookie? A shiny gold star?

PC users taunting the console users is getting really old.
I do have to agree that it can get quite over the top. There's an assumption sometimes that everyone can afford to drop big $$$ on a new rig. I'm still running on my 6 year old one. Yeah the processors aren't good any more but I recently upgraded its RAM and graphics card (all in all just cost me over 100) so, even though it would struggle a lot playing Skyrim, I can still play lots of other games while playing games like Skyrim on the Xbox. It works for me.

To me this is more an annoyance and not the end of the world. I've seen far worse texture bugs in my gaming lifetime. And since the game isn't officially out yet, I don't expect anything from Beth until 11/11. So just relax and it will get patched. :sleep2:

Rather it breaks the street date or not, the responsibility is not down to the costumers (players), these are official products they are buying, it's legit to them.

This, actually. I think there's a thread somewhere with people playing legit copies delivered from Amazon.

It's not illegal to purchase a video game before it's actual release date .. it's illegal to sell it, but not purchase it .. so yes there ARE legit copies of the game .. wow I didn't know that was so hard to understand ..

The only people preaching this 'not legit copy thing' are people who are jealous other people received it before they did ..

To all the people bashing the OP because he has the game and you don't:

Pull your jealous heads out of your rectums and stop complaining about other people having trouble/noticing bugs in the game. It's important to "get it out" so developers can look at the issues (even if they already know or not, we don't know if they do or don't).

It's not the customers fault that they get the game a couple of days early. If you had recieved it 2 days early, would you wait until the 11th before playing? No, you wouldn't. So get off your high horses..

There is no "technical issues"-section for Skyrim on this forum yet, so it has to be posted here..

The reason it's "illegal" for a store to sell a copy early is because of the contract the store signed with the distributor when buying its copies. When Joe off the street walks into a store, they have no contract signed with the distributor, hence there is no contract there for them to break.

It simply isn't against the law to buy a game early. It is against the contract the store signed, and that is a matter to settle between the store and the distributor.

You miiiight stretch and try to say that a buyer in a store, by purchasing the game early, is engaged in tortious interference with the contract between the store and distributor, but that's really a long shot at best...and hey, it's not a crime, just something the distributor is free to sue (and likely lose) over.

TL;DR: Buying a video game prior to launch from a store is the store's problem, not the buyer's.

The images referenced throughout, more than likely, are fair use. It's a small amount. It will have not effect on Beth's bottom line and it's existence here does nothing to pull sales away from Skyrim. The images were used to inform other players of a potential issue with the game.

Seems like it'd qualify.

However, this is a private forum. Those images violate the rules and can be censored.

I don't think there is any problem here at all. I believe someone has just captured an image at the right moment after exiting the menu and the blur effect hasn't quite dissipated yet.

I have been going back and forth on locking this. It's nice for people to have a place to vent if this is a real issue. However, I have not seen any evidence that it is a real issue. That of course does not mean it is not an issue.

So, I have asked Gstaff and some Devs to look into this and provide us with an answer. Hopefully that will be soon.

However, the behavior in this thread is enough to lock it, and that is why I am locking it.
