We really need a CM to comment on this.
Because it’s hard to tell what’s real or not, more so when it involves a trailer dated April 1st or April Fools, a day of fake announcements.
I lean towards fake, as the internet nowadays can easily fake screenshots, and without an email address, it could be fake, and that’s what I lean too.
False advertising as I understand it would have only mattered if gaijin made any money of the sale of infantry combat.
If they had been upselling the idea of turning war thunder into an FPS for months or had sold specific infantry based content and then never followed through on it, then it mgiht be considered false advertising.
in this regard there is reasonable expectation that it wasnt real and there has been no such upselling of the game or products through the use of what is more than likely an april fool joke .
I strongly doubt Gaijin or any other game could actually genuinely be sued for false advertisement over this and only maybe in the US. Here in Europe, they probably wouldnt be.
Seeing how we shouldnt get the next updated till may im thinking its fake
If this is real then I hope that it will be a separate game mode
The only time Gaijin had a chance of being sued was when the Italian M60 was advertised with a stabilizer, but they removed it from sale before removing the stabilizer.
The picture posted on reddit proves literally nothing. There is nothing identifying the email as legit.
Your “legality” bit, just get lost lmao
no they are doing false advertising implicating the game development with false promises this could mislead many people to buy items from their game (GE, Gaijin Coins, premium ACC) waiting for a lot of content that could not come to the game this is an example.
Misleading who exactly? The people that didn’t see the fat April 1st date stamp on the announcement (which was posted on March 31st btw)?
At no point did it claim the infantry would even be playable.
AI infantry will come to War Thunder at some stage, but it will never be playable for good reason.
There are other games where you can play as infantry against tanks if you want.
And no, there’s no false advertising.
I will leave this here so you guy have some reference.
and remember europe is not the only place in the world central and south america exist.
This is a hungarian company…
Even then, they have disclaimers on dev-blogs and purchases pages regarding vehicle properties changing and anyone who knows anything about War Thunder shouldnt be under the expectation that a vehicle wouldnt ever change just because its a premium.
and?
They even updated it from “posted march 31st” to “posted April 1st”
Good luck suing a hungarian company over south american laws…
Right, but Gaijin is based in Hungary, the only rules they likely have to worry about is EU laws. Its like expecting people in the UK to only drink at 21 because the minimum legal age in the US is 21. Not how laws work
They didn’t update it, it always said that it was posted April 1st
Watch some Americans come over to Europe and sue the barkeepers for serving them beer at the age of 18
Haha, my sister had to be careful when she went to the states when she was 19. Because she was just use to drinking when she went out with friends :D
