Class Action Lawsuit - Bungie False Advertisement

So we all know that in at least one video it was stated that Guardians would be able to "zip off to Saturn", while we have been stuck inside the asteroid belt with no hint of exploring other planets within Destiny (Vol 1). A friend of mine, who also plays and is a well established civil lawyer, has decided to look into a CAL for false advertisement by Bungie essentially leading people to believe that the entire Solar System was accessible. Just want to get your thoughts on this. I told him good luck with fighting the man.

    The agreement you agreed to when playing Destiny - "...You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Bungie and Activision, their partners, affiliates, licensors, contractors, officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from all damages, losses and expenses arising directly or indirectly from your breach of this Agreement and/or your acts and omissions in using the Program pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. " & "...Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND ACTIVISION AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in paragraph (B) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes." & "...The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration." & "...IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO INSTALL, COPY, OR USE THE PROGRAM. IF YOU WISH TO REJECT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOT INSTALL, COPY, OR USE THE PROGRAM..." So, if you played over 30 days and try to sue, you've violated the agreement and can be counter sued! Also, every piece of content prior to launch stated "concept" "not finished product" and "...Bungie may update the Program remotely without notifying you, and you hereby grant to Bungie consent to deploy and apply such patches, updates, changes, deletions, and modifications. " You, and all of us, agreed! The Devil is in the details!

Or something along those lines. So that pretty much protects them from money hungry ragers.

      • This is troll bait, plain and simple. The TC doesn't know any lawyers and is just trying to stir something up.

        • We all know this is a retarded troll. All points where you could sue for "false advertisement" are thrown away in the fact at the bottom of demo videos and at the beginning of E3 it clearly states "may not represent final product" to stop idiots from suing for no reason

          • They never said it would be able to be done in destiny number one. Fast forward 10 years and let me know if every single installment destiny makes full fills every one of their statements. All they said was yes you will be able to do this not when they will let you do it. So no not false advertisement. This is one of destinys yearly games that supposed to come out in the same play style let's see if it continues on for the next 9 installments then decide if they fulfilled all they said they would

          • I don't see the problem. I see all those planets out of my window as I zoom by them to the Reef. Use the Uber Code while in hyperspace and every planet shows up on the left side of your ship. Really cool looking stuff IMHO. I think I even saw a sign on Io that said HoW is here, send help ASAP! Can't wait to visit Io...

          • The trailers for destiny could show DLC content.. People don't understand that. What you see in some videos probably isn't released yet.
