Well that would be a stupid lawsuit, there's nothing lawsuit worthy there, just poorly executed port jobs. They didn't falsely advertise. Colonial Marines, No Man's Sky, Rome II Total War, and other such games outright, blatantly lied in their marketing material with bullshots and missing prominent features, fake gameplay, and misleading terminology. Honestly, while I agree BethSoft deserves criticism for those problems, the fact people treat them as being as bad as EA, Ubi, WB, and Konami at times is just plain laughable and sad. Bethesda makes mistakes, those others do borderline (or even outright) illegal stuff in ther gross pursuit of more money and preorders. |
I don't think they're as bad as the others you listed. Not in the case of false advertising anyway. They are definitely bad at supplying a working product though.
But I do think as consumers we need protection from your example, but also from my example (performace issues). So the PS3 versions included everything written on the box but the ports were so bad you could barely play them in some cases (my experience wasn't that bad but it turned into a slideshow presentation after a couple of hours). If you buy a car and it has all the bells and whistles but breaks down every two hours you'd be expecting to be able to take it back and get a car you can drive.
