Unfortunately game dev companies appear to have a habit of being tight-lipped on such issues, that is, we hear little or nothing until the problem is corrected. Probably because if they open their mouths about remedies and such remedies dont work out then the shite really hits the fan.

@djxtc I believe your best angle to work would be, individually with a small claims action as anyone purchasing elite was pre-paying for a product/service that

1). was not complete or usable when purchased

2) you were pre paying for content to be released to you in increments at a future date.

therefore, you the purchaser entered into a contract with activision/beach head and because you had no usable product/service at that time, activision/beach head contract should have stated dates or approximate dates when that product/service was to be delivered. and if there was to be different dates for different consoles this should have been disclosed, especialy as you were paying in advance.

And to get (as I said in my earlier post) as many people in different locations to file an action. Using this angle, you all or some of you may win. This would then set a precedence.

I'm not familiar with the Canadian competition act (as im not in Canada) but even if you would obtain a judgement (chances are slim as the case would be big enough for them to have a very highly qualified legal team) and for the sort of money you are talking about. The case woud be tied up for years in court and then more years in appeals and no one would gain anything apart from the lawyers.  Keep it simple, with a proven method.

Just my opinion. But good luck

Third year Activision has came under fire. It all started with Kotick's statement that gamers will buy anything and all you gotta do is repackage.

I think someone is going to succeed at taking them down.

Most of what you said is true but like so many others you cannot read correctly. At no time did I read that CGO was a federally run organization. What was said was that the CBC was a federally run organization and they would be the ones to persue a suit. CGO is just trying to bring the mistreatment of gamers to light. Which if you were a gamer would support.

You could keep all of this contained in one thread you know.
