Guild Wars 2

Ok starting off my knowledge of business law isn’t that great, and I’m not putting this here to flame anet. The reason I am asking this is to find out whether or not anet could be in danger of something like a class action law suit? (ok on to the questions)

Is anet in danger of a class action law suit (or other law suit) for advertising their game would have bi-weekly updates as a selling point, or do things like the weekly gemstore updates nullify that suit? Is it similar to the case where subway was sued because their “5 dollar footlongs” actually only averaged 10", or is that completely different as subway was selling a product while anet was selling a product (a game) which the customers received but they didn’t keep up with additional service attached?

They have, as far as I am aware, never actually used the bi-weekly updates as a selling point except during the periods where it is actually true. So no, it is very unlikely that anyone could bring a lawsuit against them.

They never said: “We will always update the game every other week, forever” either for that matter.

ah ty very much
