Okay, look, it's a shitty game and the refund thing is a bad look on them, but anyone involved in this lawsuit looks like an idiot. They probably wouldn't have a case even without the lying about the patch thing.

I got a stick and I ain’t had a swing yet...
What an absolute mess they created. When this game was announced I was all aboard. When the beta hot takes came out I got that red flag feeling and said ld give it a few months to iron out the kinks.
At this point not a chance in hell I will ever buy this unless some kind of No Man’s Sky rebirth happens.
I can’t believe Bethesda went down this road. Disappointing and Disillusioned are immense understatements.

good thing I waited to see.

Seems like there is more likely to be a successful lawsuit about the collector's edition "canvas bag" being cheap nylon.

Welp, with that, f*** you Bethesda. You straight up lied to those purchasing a $200 product. You didn’t promise those people a bag, you promised them a canvas bag that, admittedly, looked pretty nice, and instead gave them a shitty nylon bag. Like just look at how thin the material the bag is made out of, too! If you realized the canvas bag would have been too expensive to make, you should have announced that you were replacing it, allowing customers that didn’t want the downgrade the chance to cancel. And now to tell customers angry they had been duped by your deception that you aren’t going to do a damn thing about it? Piss off. I of course didn’t buy this thing because the game didn’t interest me, but that’s still some bullshit.

I don't really get what the basis in the refund complaint is. I mean, think about how many games you may have purchased in the past that were bad after you played it? How many were you able to get a full refund on?
Almost no game company will refund your money if you're not happy with the product. That's just how it's set up. Is it fair? Not particularly. But this is an industry that is now predicated on the idea that a game will release with issues, and those issues will get worked on as time goes on. It sucks, but this is how it goes now. If Activision, if Capcom, if these companies wouldn't refund a game over anything other than technical issues that prevents someone from playing a game, then Bethesda isn't going to suddenly lose millions on this giving everyone refunds.

The thing is, on PC, it actually is common for services to have a refund policy. Even big name services like Steam and Origin have refund policies. And that’s where the complaint is coming from, PC users for whom this is now a common part of their gaming experience.

That image is pretty much exhibits A, B, and C in any potential class action about the misleading advertising on the collector's edition.

Lol, $200 edition and they change the bag to a $1 you can get from Amazon.
Bloody hell.

Feel like this quote may become a Rubicon for this game.

Feel like this quote may become a Rubicon for this game. Like the "sense of pride and accomplishment" from Battlefront 2 and the newer "Don't you guys have phones" from the Diablo Immortal hilariousness. I love watching out of touch company responses

Lol... 500 atoms buys you next to nothing in the comically underwhelming store.

Well, it's uhhh ... better than nothing? 500 atoms, if what I saw from the footage in Angry Joe’s review is accurate, is only $5. They are granting you $5 in game credit. At this point they are pissing on their fans without having the common courtesy of calling it rain.

I can't believe it was touch and go between me buying Red Dead or getting this lol.
I suspect I made the right choice.

Well, it's uhhh ... better than nothing? Not sure if it was intentional or not to do the Mighty No 9 reference there, but it works. This is the kinda thing that I'd expect from a badly-managed Kickstarter campaign, not from a triple-A studio.
