It's weird how many people in this forum would rather act like Take 2's civil defense attorneys than wronged consumers. It's so far from my personal values to tow company policies and point out fine print than actually try to fight a company that has taken people's money and run off with it. I just don't get it at all.

True. But it doesn't hurt to talk hypothetically and brainstorm solutions. Fact is we know the studio is shut down. We know a number of KSP2 devs have been laid off. And we haven't ruled out that it might be ALL of them. We don't know if the roadmap is on the table. And if it's not I think a class action lawsuit is something worth discussing if for any other reason than to help strengthen consumer protection. It's rare that a AAA company cancels a game in EA. And if you believe it's wrong for a company to essentially break its word just because a few lines on a corporate website says that's ok then we need to fight that policy in court. If the game is cancelled or the roadmap is no longer on the table, we shouldn't waste this opportunity to strengthen consumer protections.

Any contract can get thrown out in court if you can reasonably prove you were mislead.

That is what OP is doing though. Class action lawsuits are how customers organize. And op claims they are speaking with a customer rights lawyer

If we all just accepted corporate defined policy as truth and "The buyer should have known better" we wouldn't have many of our consumer protections today. The fact is corporations have a history of misleading customers then gas lighting customers into believing it's their fault they got tricked. It's their fault they believed Nate that this game would follow the roadmap and be funded to 1.0. It's their fault they believed Nate when he said there would be many years of development. And that's just not true.

Everyone here posting pessimistic comments would be more useful keeping them to themselves. Everyone knows it's an uphill battle. It always is going against big corporations. But a few things to think about. 1. No contract, terms of service, or license agreement is EVER above the law. A court can throw any of it out if a judge deems it unfair. 2. The EA model has never been tested for this scenario. That being a scenario where a company has promised multiple times the game will not get cancelled. Has laid out a roadmap. Has advertised this roadmap in it's marketing materials. And has the funding to complete all of it and simply walks away from it. That to my knowledge has never happened. EA titles get cancelled all the time but almost never when they are backed by a AAA publishing company. What we have is a golden opportunity here to strengthen consumer rights in the EA model. So unless you're a billionaire who makes money screwing over gamers, a lawsuit benefits us all. Don't naysay someone trying to fight for consumer rights. Wish them luck and sign up to help if you can.
