Furious KOTOR 2 Fan SUES Aspyr over DLC Cancellation

It really does take some guts to sue a major corporation over some cancelled video game DLC, doesn't it...? Do you think that this lawsuit is justified or is he just wasting his time and money? Let me know your thoughts below! Come follow me on Twitter! - twitter.com/100PerStarWars

This lawsuit is completely justified. Aspyr advertised a product. People paid money for that product. Aspyr never released the product, and never offered a refund. As such, they should be held accountable for this.

The thing that really annoys me is the fact that they just left everyone in the dark. If there was a legal issue, they should have told everyone what that issue was. Give everyone the real reason and tell them what is going on.

Honestly, it's hard not to blame Aspyr, and this lawsuit isn't surprising to me. I mean if you announce and advertise a product, and then at the next to last second cancel said product and offer everything but a refund for the people who already bought it, you're pretty much digging your own grave at this point.

Poor poor Aspyr... They really dropped the ball when it came to KOTOR on multiple levels. But getting sued now too? Jeez.

I’m the person who filed the lawsuit (Mal-Luh-kai) due to the false advertising from the announcement trailer. They used it as a selling money grab. But the injury? Idk what this video is talking about there. and I encourage everyone to hop on this lawsuit. The lawyer wants to speak to everyone. So please reach out. Thanks for the video.

"Begun, the Fan War has."

It should have been a class action lawsuit for everyone who bought KOTOR 2 on switch. They promised it, advertised it and most (or a lot) of people only bought it for the DLC. They should have refunded, but because they didn't then they deserve to get sued.

The lawsuit is justified, but I feel like there are a LOT of companies that are more deserving of something like this

Man. I would say I hope they sue them. We deserve the dlc, they keep teasing us and changing their minds.

The lawsuit is justified, they should not have advertised the restored DLC if they didn’t get 100% legal approval for it. I held off buying KOTOR 2 on the Switch just in case that happened

False advertising is still a crime and they committed false advertising, so yes, they deserve legal repercussions

Yeah I heard about this and I honestly think that this is justified. But the blame should be toward Disney and Lucasfilm not Aspyr.

Honestly the lawsuit is justified, they made a promise, they didn’t deliver nor did they offer a refund

Finally Someone Did Something About The KotOR II Switch DLC Cancellation

This should be a lawsuit for specific performance. IANAL, but in real estate school we learned that you can sue someone who backed out of a sale of a home and force them to buy/sell it. I could see that happening in this case where they’re suing to force Aspyr to release the mod.

I was one of those people who bought kotor 2 on the switch, and it took over 3 months for them to send me a code for a free game with crappy communication. Every time they asked for some credential I’d send it and then they’d ask for one more thing to verify, that happened like 3 times… but at least I got force unleashed on my switch now🤷‍♂️

Usually, I feel lawsuits in the American justice system are silly or overblown, but this is needed. Not only did they PROMISE to include the DLC, but after it was canceled, a lot of the staff and the mod-maker stood with their hands in their pockets saying they did nothing wrong. Not only did they deceive customers, but showed how callous they are towards their customers' pleas. This is a problem across the gaming industry: too often, companies promise certain products or versions of said products and end up delivering inferior products to video gamers for the same price. Anthem, Bioshock Infinite, Fallout 76, Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, etc. These corporations, as powerful as they are, need to start being put in check.

they 100% deserve it imho, but i don't have high hopes that this lawsuit will lead to anything "useful" (for us). I think realistically they will settle outside of court and that will be that...

I can only speak for myself, but personally I only bought KotOR II on Switch for the DLC. I had no intention of playing it without it, since everything I've heard about the game is that it felt incomplete without the Restored Content. I didn't want to play an incomplete game, so I never had an intention of buying KotOR II. I only bought it because the advertisements made it very clear that the Restored Content was included in the purchase as a part of future DLC. I was looking forward to the game because I'd never played KotOR I OR II before but knew of their reputation. I still have no intention of playing KotOR II without the Restored Content. And this is the first time I've even heard that the DLC was canceled AND that they were giving people a free game from their library as an apology. They clearly didn't try very hard to inform people that bought the game that these things happened. I'm more than likely too late to redeem that free game so they really did scam me. I agree with this lawsuit. I hear people saying the lawsuit is stupid because it's about a video game, but it's important to hold companies accountable for false advertising practices at every opportunity. Companies should NEVER be allowed to get away with false advertising, ever, regardless of the product. Aspyr advertised something and people like me bought it because of that advertising, and that advertisement turned out to be a lie. If they didn't have the Restored Content set in stone then they shouldn't have advertised it. EDIT: And the argument that "Aspyr faced legal issues behind the scenes" is a moot point. Again, if they didn't have it set it stone, in a contract, that the Restored Content would be released, then they had no right to advertise it as part of the product. That ALONE makes the lawsuit justified. Now, while I don't agree that Aspyr did any of this intentionally, that again is moot. They falsely advertised a product, which means they should be held accountable for that action.
