You're right. Most consumers won't finish it anyway. As with most games.so they'll likely never even know it's not the full game. Cause they have no access to information. Idiots.
I love how you reply to this post without even reading the rest of the conversation. "BUT IT'S ON THE BACK OF THE BOX!!!"
How does that hurt a single person? Can you give any examples at all where someone is harmed by not knowing that there are going to be more full games in the series after this full game? I guess if someone has 40 hours to live, has never played FFVII so doesn't already know the full story, and can only choose one game to play, maybe this isn't the best choice for them?
But what if I didn't know that? What if I am a low information consumer? Subtitle doesn't tell me this is part 1.
You might have a point if this information wasn't readily available, but it is up to including the box. Why should I care about the person who can't bother even looking up a game? Are studios to blame for idiots who blindly buy an R rated movie and watch it with their kids?
Mass Effect isn't a remake of an original game.
lmao I guess we'll see what happens, but I don't think this is going to end up being as big a deal as some of you are acting like.
It actually is. Because it is designed to be a multi part story. There's not much to be said beyond this.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone has no subtitle
When HP split an adaptation of one book into several films, they were marketed as Part 1 and Part 2.
How was it countered exactly? Can't say I remember that part. My argument is I don't care and anyone who ends up upset by this only has themselves to blame. They could call it something else and it wouldn't bother me but I also don't think it's some evil thing.
I like that and think it would of worked well. I think since this is the initial release, they are leading the marketing with this launch being "The Remake" that started it all. When Part 2 releases, they will do something like this with the 2nd chapter and will probably re-brand the first chapter as Part 1/Midgar/something like that.
Mate, what? You literally just said the subtitle of the book and movie.
They really aren't. "It's mentioned somewhere on the back of the box" is not a defense that would fly anywhere.
That's nowhere near enough, seems your unaware how many class action lawsuits have been successfullt won even within the industry other stuff like this. It's very misleading and they're opening themselves up to this.
Except one of them isn't a drastic restructuring that piggybacks off the branding (to the point of using the exact same box art) of a 20+ year old game to mislead people. This isn't the same thing, some of y'all are being so willfully obtuse
in what way would any of those people be harmed? A lawsuit is pointless if people haven't been harmed.
Yes, you were calling the title of a movie the subtitle. If somebody had no idea about Harry Potter books, they would not think that title meant there would be more in the series. Nothing about the movie title makes it clear in any way that it isn't "the complete story".I honestly don't want to argue with this because it's an inherently disingenuous point that just has to be intentionally ignoring how flawed of a comparison it is.
You knew exactly what I was referring to there.
Here you go first one that came to mind.

That's not how it works as long as they mis-advertised and subsequently mis-sold the product they'll be liable.
