Why government intervention is necessary is unclear. At best one has an implicit contract during a pre-order, which was violated due to its bugs. That anyone could seriously believe that any complex software will be "bug free" strikes me as risible. It seems to me that people are making a bet on a pre-order. No regulation is necessary in any event: this can be handled using class action law, and true egregious misrepresentations are kept in check in this way. These kinds of regulations are a jobs program for the officious personality and a way for politicians to seem relevant, but is mostly a form of or invitation to corruption, as the powerful influence the crafting of law to keep the small fry at bay.
Buyer beware, IMO. Wait 'til it's out, reviewed, etc., and then you'll know.
- slg 6y agoI'm not sure how in the weeds you are with this specific issue, but it isn't just that this game wasn't "bug free". It is unfinished in noticeable ways, it doesn't match some of the expectations set by CDPR, and the company took active steps to ensure customers wouldn't know how poorly the game performed on certain hardware. Once again, I don't know if that rises to a criminal level, but this is much more serious than someone not liking a game they preordered.
