Apart from generating this 'bad publicity', the FTC complaint wouldn't get off the ground in any case, because, well, there really is no provable 'false advertising' here.
Perhaps what's taken place is more like getting screwed over by a friend, rather than a breach of our rights as consumers. It's a matter of morals, not legality. So---I'm afraid pushing for the latter would end up in the other party saying "we did not employ any of those words [in press releases, interviews, advertisements, packaging, etc.] in the way you happen to think we did." -- So, well, essentially a stalemate.
"This story arc is coming to an end with this game. That means the endings can be a lot more different. At this point we're taking into account so many decisions that you've made as a player and reflecting a lot of that stuff. It's not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C."-Casey Hudson

"Whether you're happy or angry at the ending, know this: it is an ending. BioWare will not do a "Lost" and leave fans with more questions than answers after finishing the game, Gamble promised."

http://news.softpedi...ys-255935.shtml They told us this is what we would get. If something had chaged during development they should have changed their statements to more accurately reflect the final product. They didn't, which means they started using lies to sell the product (false advertisement). IMO, those guys filing complaints have a decent case.
