Facts
Henry Garcia filed suit against Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC, alleging that two "Call of Duty" video games caused older versions of the Playstation 3 to overheat. Garcia argued that the normal and intended use of the games overtaxed the computational capacities of first-generation PS3 models, prompting their graphical processor units to overheat and fail.
Result
The court dismissed Garcia's case, finding that he did not state a plausible claim.
