VonBrecht Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Any reason this months Armchair General is telling us to come to this site to download the SC2 demo when it is nowhere in sight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Because they are idiots or just lying would be my guess. Maybe they are idiots AND lying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Well, my guess would be because publishing deadlines are a good bit in advance. This title was scheduled for 1Q05 and I suppose at the time that was written, it was assumed the demo would be available at publication. But, the game was delayed and the text was not changed. It never ceases to amaze me how many people can take the simple little disappointments and difficulties in life and blow them way out of proportion. But then again, I guess that is why so many lawyers have jobs. For the record though, you don't seem to have a good grasp on what is and isn't false advertising.

jon_j_rambo Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 True, false advertising requires damages! But in today's world, maybe this has effected my real life, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBrecht Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 I hadn't checked the site for awhile so I bought it. There was a quick rollercoaster of emotion that started with elation and ended in pain and , I fear, long term scarring of the psyche! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melb_will Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 false (or misleading and deceptive) advertising doesn't require damage. You can get an injunction without suffering damage. Whooot TPA Cheers Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
