What do you mean for what? False advertising. Constantly lying to consumers.

Apparently they will allow heists on PS3, etc:

Its not crazy to think someone would try to sue for what STD said, but the point is moot since it is coming to PS3, etc.

Well you have to consider they announced Heists as in production for 360/PS3 before the game launched. If even one person decided to purchase GTA5 for 360 on that alone, I think he has that case.

It would be different if the language was more about seeing if they can do it or not; which is exactly why studios try not to confirm/deny anything during development. To avoid things like this.

So, assuming these fucktards actually have a case in this hypothetical, do they have grounds to sue for anything more than the cost of the game they supposedly bought under false pretenses? I hope they would only get their shitty $60 back and also be forced to pay the legal fees. God I hate people sometimes.

Would fall under a class action lawsuit so more like they'd get $3.25 or whatever the meager amount usually is while the lawyers get the millions.
Lot easier for Rockstar to just pay than have to go through all the effort to prove they were never dishonest about the status of heists or other complaints about the game. |

This isn't people trying to kick a fuss over endings they didn't like.
This is a feature that was promised for a game before the game came out. It was the sales pitch. And now it will show up on all but one console. This isn't a subjective 'I don't feel they delivered' thing. It was literally an announced feature that will not come for many people. It may not be as strong as the Aliens/Gearbox thing, but there's something there. Studios can't say this will be in the game, and then not do that. |

From years of playing MMOs I am accustomed to this sort of thing. I really care SO little to argue about it though so let's just agree to disagree forever

I mean, if you can give me an example of a promised bullet point of a game being canceled after it went on sale and how it's actually common, I hear ya. I can't think of anything that egregious off the top of my head. We may actually agree, I just need a compass here.
I'm hopping on the next gen versions when we get an X1 so I'm not personally vexed, I just sympathize with those who may feel this way. |

This is why GameGate needs to be successful in its cause. This was an overhyped feature not only by Rockstar but all major video game publications. They have to do a better job making previews actually preview and not just hype pieces to get people to buy the game. The preview should be realistic about what to expect from the game.
Ign should have stopped covering GTA Online Heist coverage after it didn't happen when it was supposed it. They should have then said "we'll preview/review" when it's released" and nothing more should have ever been said about it until it was ready for download. Publications weren't the only ones who overhyped it. We overhyped it a lot here. So we aren't blameless. |

Which means free trade-ins for the 360/ps3 version to the next-gen. But like you said it's all moot if the mode is going to come for all systems. There's too much false information and hype. Somebody has to cut through the bullshit and then figure out what happened and if anybody is to blame. |

Not that fair though because it switched from Microsoft Studios to EA. Big change from Mass Effect 1 and 2/3. Wonder how the games would have went down had they not done that. |

Seriously, what are you 2 years old? It's not like the game shipped after all the hype, and everyone got goat simulator. Even going back to the initial problems with GTA Online, people were bitching and moaning about "false advertising" and demanding their money back, and I was really wishing they'd all just step on a hive of furious mud wasps. The single player game was worth more than $65. Then we get a huge online update that has more content than most paid DLC, completely free of charge. But no, we should all get free copies of the next gen version, because one feature proved more difficult to develop than anticipated. It's fucking disgusting. |

Dude... Heists was a pretty big selling point. This is a whole multiplayer mode, not some subjective reaction to a feature. People are in fact entitled to a mode that was promised to be in a game that never comes. But if there's some miscommunication there and it will come to everyone I guess it's moot.

Yeah, I'm just saying... Heists were a HUGELY advertised part of the multiplayer. I'm pretty pissed about how underwhelming the game was. Other than the other parts that were delayed well past release also. Multiplayer feels like a gutted version of what we were promised from the start.
Heists as well as THE ONLINE STOCK MARKET, were two things that were going to MAKE the online portion of the game. Seriously, those 2 features were what I was most excited about for GTA Online. They still haven't happened. I haven't touched the game's online in over 6 months because it's so shallow and unfinished. Those were the two fleshy good parts the game had to offer prior to release, and they still haven't happened. Especially if you followed it for this long and kept getting strung along by their constant promise that it was coming soon. I still remember a couple months after release, people were still talking about it and sharing articles about how Heists were JUST around the corner. Just a couple more weeks. Sounds like some pretty shady shit in hindsight. Not a fan of how Rockstar handled this game at all. And now the rerelease on new consoles just screams of a cash grab. "Oh hey, remember that stuff we've been promising since before the game came out? Well it'll be here as soon as the game comes out on the new consoles. Just keep waiting guys! Buy our game again!" |

Also, the single player game was not worth $65. You're fucking crazy if you think any single player game is WORTH $65, let alone this one, which advertised the ever loving piss out of its online features and was a huge part of the reason that so many people bought it.

Someone who managed to get a PS4 copy early has been streaming the game online.
Just like the early hype trailers for GTA Online, Rockstar fibbed a bit about their reveal trailers for the next gen versions. The hype about denser traffics and people only really occurs for single player while multiplayer is mostly just a few more cars added for traffic. First Person mode is really good though. Also the newest patch for the game is a bit over 1 GB in size. And in a non-surprising move, a lot of early streams are getting shut down by Rockstar while Twitter accounts of people reporting early streamers to Rockstar/Take Two are getting harassed by those upset. |
