Soooo....Mass Effect 3

Exactly, while I doubt the court would force BioWare to refund money, the court would see that BioWare's statements were the exact opposite of what happens. Pretty much all your decisions up to that final choice are thrown out the window, they literally have no bearing on the final choice where as BioWare is on record stating that all your choices up to that point would have an effect on the final outcome. Also, from what I have read from other people that have completed the game, if you just do the minimum story quest missions thus getting miminum war resources, your choice is made for you in that your ME 2 choice (paragon or renegade) ends up being the choice you take automatically (paragon or renegade ending -- effectively you have no choice at the end of ME 3 and are dictated what your ending is based on how you ended ME 2).

So, the court would offer what, moral support? It's not a fact-checking service. The question is whether you get some kind of legal redress. And I think the chances of that are so slim as to be hopeless. (As well they should be - I don't want consumers to be able to sue artistic producers over everything they ever promised over a development cycle!)

Well, I doubt the "court" would offer anything including a "judgment" on the issue of whether Bioware's statements constitute deliberate misleading of customers or mere hype. I used the concept of a "jury" simply to advance my belief that a group of persons who are fully informed of the promises made and the actual content would find the promises misleading and not mere hype. The only "sanction" Bioware will ever suffer, if any, is consumers not buying its products.
