I stopped reading your post as soon as you mention false advertisement. Why? Because you, and a million other forum-goers here have absolutely no idea how it works. You obviously think that content in development, that was SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME DURING DEVELOPMENT, is something you have a right to as a consumer.. well, you're incorrect, and so off-base I can't help but laugh at you in real life. The content you saw in videos and vidocs before the game's retail launch was not final, nor did they mention it ever would be. They made no promises.. signed no legal documents.. nor did they sell their soul to any devil. The game changed direction somewhere in the pipes, and it happens all the time. False advertising has absolutely nothing to do with this. They advertised a game, and sold a game that's perfectly playable, and functions in every way they promised. The level of satisfaction you've derived from your purchase has nothing to do with whatever you thought Bungie owed you, and it has everything to do with your unreasonable expectations for the game's launch. They hyped up the game with advertising, and PR talk, and buzzwords. Strangely enough, that also happens in the real world - it's not something Bungie is the first to accomplish. You played the Alpha. You also played the Beta. You knew what you were getting into. You knew that the game would play out pretty much how it was in the limited content that both of those builds showed to you. The game was only 2 months from release at the time of beta, and there's absolutely no way it would have changed so drastically to meet your unreasonable expectations, created from you giving into the hypetrain. But, let's take a quick look at what false advertisement would actually be: [b]NOT False Advertising:[/b] Bungie developing and selling a game, that comes complete with a disc, has online functionality, and everything that a game should. It's owned by people, and millions of people have been playing it since launch. That's the whole point of the game they made, and sold; it works fine, and there's nothing there that they didn't include. [b]False Advertising[/b]: Bungie developing and selling a game.. But, come retail launch, when people put the game in their system, it does nothing. Instead of a game on disc, a message pops up saying "Haha, Destiny doesn't exist. We made it all up. Joke's on you, huh bro?" That would be false advertising because the finish product is NOTHING like a game that they were supposedly making. See? One is what they delivered on, and the other blatantly isn't. The only reason you think you have grounds for any kind of lawsuit is because you're an ignorant, naive consumer that gave into the hype, and for some reason you thought the game would be the same in 1, 1.5, or even 2 years from now. That's your own fault, really. Did it launch with a weak story and limited, yet decent content? It did. But all of that content works, and the game hasn't had any major problems.. Nothing like, say, FFXIV 1.0, or Driveclub. You people REALLY need to pull your heads out of your asses and find some common sense, somewhere. Lol.
