54:19Yeh, but getting together the money to take it to trial is a different story
54:19Not sure how it applies to digital goods like this
54:20but they already rented the ad space
54:23That’s false advertising
54:23so it's a bit tricky
54:24There are probably circumstances that would ensure this isn't an issue
54:24If you had no other option but to cancel it’s not a problem
54:24not if a purchase hasn't already taken place
54:25I dont think so, unless you’re using it to manipulate stocks or take investment money
54:27law varies on the country
54:29yes it is if they advertised the character going to be in the game
54:29the situation is so abrupt it might be hard to pull everything back
54:30They aren't taking money for it yet though are they?
54:30Yea you cant say here is a thing but that thing isnt in the game
54:30could be false advertising, but only if they actually took money for it
54:33I don't think it is. kind of a gray area for gaming releases.
54:34they are allowed to change things so long as something is delivered
54:34It falls under false advertising and date
54:35They might have a grace period to correct the
54:39lia its time to start a class action lawsuit
54:39I don't think so like, otherwise devs would have issues every time they delay something
54:42depends and this is murky because of the unforeseen circumstances
54:49yeah they might get sued
54:55potentially not because nothing's been released yet
54:56Not taking money yet so where would the damages be?
54:56Well, people MIGHT spend in advance to prepare for the charactcer, so it's a sticky issue
54:56Well they fully INTENDED to release the character but were forced by external factors to not release him, and they didn’t take any money for him yet
55:00if the game goes down, then it didn't matter too
55:00there are probably 100 'outs' in a case like this
55:01I am curious to see if theres any Valko merch at anime expo and summer cons
55:07I don't know much, but take it loosely
55:08I would sue them for the backed out promotional assets
55:11It’s only false advertising if you’re only making a purchase because of the thing taht isnt in the game
55:14Pulling announced products happens so it's probably fine
