  1. Risk of rain- false advertising


    Genuine question, what can I do (and what can xbox do) about a falsely advertised game? Risk of Rain (1), a game which I loved on PC and and Xbox, has a massive flaw with online multiplayer. The game is advertised as a 2-4 online multiplayer game, which
    is great. A screenshot even shows SEVEN (yes seven) active players in a lobby with the character select. That being said, i would imagine that playing online is doable with multiple friends, right? Wrong. If you try to invite more than one friend to your game
    online, it says the “session is full”. Upon further investigation online, this has also occurred on the PlayStation port of the game.

    This needs to be addressed immediately. While the game devs do control how the game works, xbox should be ensuring that the “2-4 online multiplayer” tag is actually true. You cannot play with 4 people online on 4 separate consoles.

    I have already reported this game on the store, but is there anything further I can do? Will xbox address this issue and reach out to the devs to fix their game? What is going to happen next - because I spent money on a game which I expected to have 4 player
    online just like PC, as the tag on the game says in store, but cannot do so. Can I get compensated for my purchase, as well as my gifted copies of the game due to false advertising, so long as it is on my purchase history? Or can this issue be addressed in
    some other form?

    Thank you.

    P.S. - I did email the game devs but I am doubtful of any action being taken, which is why I am reaching out here.

    :)

    What is the legal definition of false advertising? Or the elements required to prove false advertising? Just so we can differentiate between that and normal advertising, which is always to some extent false and misleading.

    False advertising

    you see, your trying to compare Skate 3 on the Xbox One and Skate 3 on the Xbox 360, they are different things.

    If you want it why not buy it on the Xbox One?

    Is this not false advertising?

    Of course its misleading at a glance, its done on purpose.All the info is there though, so always read the fine print.

    False advertising

    It's a promotion for first time Gold Members. If you're not, like M3tal has said, it could take a while to update.

    False advertising?

    Definitely confusing, you've got me curious now as to whether they label the telltale games first episodes as a 'full game'

    I personally bought the disc version of revelations to skip these shenanigans, the raid mode is really fun and finally online.
