Soooo....Mass Effect 3

Well actually, the relationship between some fans and EA/BioWare has become so poisoned, that there are some legal actions ongoing, blaming the company for false advertisement. (up to a formal complaint with the FTC)

Right. We'll see how far that goes. Let me know when they get somewhere - until then, a complaint is just that, a complaint. Anyone can litigate about anything they like. The test is whether it has any legal standing, which this quite obviously doesn't.

And rumor goes, Amazon is actually taking the game back and giving out refunds based on that claim. Which actually isn't too far off, as basically everyone from BioWare ever quoted before release promised the *exact* opposite from what we actually got with this ending...

Is there any substance to this rumour? Because it seems awfully convenient, if true.

Here's a pretty comprehensive list of all the false promises. In hindsight, all the diametrically opposed statements, compared to the facts, would be hilarious, if the whole affair wasn't so sad.

Is this meant to be taken seriously in court? If saying your movie/art/book/game/music is good/epic/interesting when it's not is grounds for legal redress, then let me be the first to suggest the drawing and quartering of George Lucas. But I'm not getting my ten bucks back from The Phantom Menace, and the rule is still that I got what I paid for, even if I didn't like it.
