On the other hand, I do think the complaining is getting a bit hyperbolic now. Has anyone else seen the threats to start a class action lawsuit against the organisers?
I should really probably just leave the lawsuit idea in the dirt where it belongs.
I really hope it's something to LOL about. We don't know the reasons for the decision to use the TV, but I really don't believe anyone was out to screw anyone here.
As I understand, the whole reason why Crunchyroll was so prominently involved this year is because, after COVID, a need was perceived to offset the risk of running a concert tour. How much greater will the perceived risk be if there's the possibility of getting sued? That would then get passed along to concertgoers in some way--maybe new legalese when purchasing the tickets, maybe higher ticket prices to cover insurance against lawsuits.
Emphatically, we don't need a lawsuit.
Mega Man X5 is one of my favorite video games. Offhand, the protagonist, X, ends up going to war something like 11 times. However, in the opening global crisis of X5, he's the only one who points out that "[a] battle won't solve the problem."
Some sort of conflict is too often the instinctive response to a lot of situations these days. I think communication makes sense here. But, as in the video game, a battle won't solve the problem--it will only make things worse.
Not that that means people don't have reason to be upset. After the debacle with the multiple tiers of Crunchyroll preorders, the ticket scalping by Ticketmaster/others, and the profiteering by some individuals on light sticks, the thing with the screen is a lot to take.
