Just close that studio and arrest the dude that lied. I mean, if such pratices are crimes in the USA. Here in Brazil to make false promisses to get unfair gain is a crime called "Estelionato", Brazilian Penal Code, article 171. It translates as "Larceny" in english.

You talking about No Mans Sky?

I don`t think it`s really the main point of the thread... but anyways, even if he did lie it was only false advertising. Grounds for a refund (which was offered) but not for arresting him or closing down a business. Oh and whether it`s legal in the US isn`t really relevant since it`s a British company...

Thanks for the info, did not know any of that. Very interesting concept. Here in Brazil we also have, for False Advertising a concept of monetary reparation backed by a law called Consumers Code. I was that thinking that the continuous lying and promisses, and charging a triple A game price for No Man Sky would put them into the "Snake Oil Salesman" category, which would be Lacerny here.

Anyway, as you said, they are not even american, so, it does not matter.

The lesson is, I guess, never buy a game before reading at least three reviews and always be prepared for the worst, like me when I bought 7 Days to Die. I expect a zombie survival game with no history or deeper meaning. That is what I got.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Yes they should, they should also add a gifting option.
