False advertising? They aren't selling a product, they are selling an investment. Investments don't always work out the way you want them to...

Once again, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. They're selling a product. If it was an investment, you'd get returns on the investment. This is a product - "pledge $x, get y reward". Not "pledge $x, get y% cut of profits" or "pledge $x, get $x*y in return if the game achieves a certain profit". It's a product.

And "false advertising" also covers services, including investments. It's how people can sue someone who sells fake investment properties, for instance.

When they got their funding it was for a share of the profits as part of the ROI. Wasn't it also PC exclusive at that point? They were investigated by the Inland Revenue due to the way the scheme ran.

At no point did anyone pledge any money for a WiiU version so no one has been conned out of anything.

It is actually the investors in the project who took decisions todrop platforms etc through voting.
