Yea, this lawsuit is a complete waste of time, which is not surprising considering all the plaintiffs obviously waste quite a bit of time on a regular basis. It was quite obvious that Superpoke was a service, not a product; there's not even the slightest bit of ambiguity about that in this case. When you subscribe to a service, there is never any guarantee that it will continue indefinitely.
Yes, it's obvious that Superpoke was a service rather than a product, but the lawsuit is not necessarily a waste of time*. The ambiguity is in whether or not the virtual currency purchased was a product or a service. The virtual currency was clearly transferable, so it could probably be argued that it was a product rather than a service like Superpoke itself.
*These are people who spent $5M on virtual clothes for their virtual pets in a game! I think it's reasonable to accept that their values are somewhat different than are yours or mine. How can you possibly have any basis on on which to judge the value they place on their time?
