@gamerboy100: Again, you're making up what you want the definition of false advertising to be.
If they can't prove that they knew they ad was deceptive or there they knew there was a strong chance that they wouldn't be able to release the promised DLC, there's no case.
All Aspyr has to do is show that they had a valid plan in place to release the DLC and it's not false advertising. False advertising would be ending the trailer with Restored Content: Available Now.
@gamerboy100: it has nothing to do with what I'm fine with. I just understand what the legal definition of false advertising is. You just seem to be going with how you'd like things to be. Promised content is cancelled all the time and there needs to be proof that there was an intent to deceive. If there's a valid reason why they didn't release the DLC, there's no case.
It's also a pretty big reach to say people got ripped off in this case. If the only reason you buy something is for future content, that's kind of on you. If you won't play the game until the DLC is out, why not wait until the DLC is out?
@gamerboy100: You're the one who looks clueless if you think they have an actual case. This is as far as it'll go. It's for publicity and not much else.
You can complain about it all you want, but the facts are that Aspyr has done more than enough to cover themselves legally.
Also, let's not forget this is all over a $15 purchase.
@ikeiv1: That's a pretty chill response. It's also probably true. They didn't do their homework. It also doesn't matter. It was an estimate on a leaked document. Someone probably brought it up once, someone else said "I don't know. $5 million?" and it was never brought up again.
