Yeah like I said, it sounds like they’ve done a lot to try to turn their product into something closer to what they advertised, but that doesn’t excuse their initial deception.

If they were a car dealer or something, and advertised a souped up 2026 Ferrari, which their customers enthusiastically ordered en mass; only to realize upon delivery that they received a 2007 Honda Civic with the Ferrari logo sloppily painted onto the side, they’d be in jail. Because it’s a videogame, the legal system didn’t give a fuck, so they just let it slide, but what they did was 100% false advertising. They didn’t just bit off more than they could chew, they stated clear as day that it contained a plethora of features that it simply did not.

Their decision to later send a series of free Honda-to-Ferrari conversion kits was a nice and extremely unexpected gesture, but doesn’t absolve them of their initial crime.
