By misrepresenting what the product is/was and artificially inflating the BTA they have resorted to trickery to get more money. It isn’t okay to trick people to give to charity, ever. For the USA, it’s legal as long as the advertisements made the limited quantities clear.Įveryone saying, “It’s for charity, don’t be so entitled” is missing the point. This serves the function of bait and switch and they have equated, through averaging, an inferior product to a superior one.Įdit: Bait and switch, even with prior advertising of limited quantity, is illegal in the United Kingdom, Canada, and I would think a number of other countries.
The hope is that they re-coup the extra cost of Starbound by pushing the bundle price higher. However, they are clearly two different products, with one being inferior. The price of the Starbound-receiving bundle affects the price of the BTA bundle – meaning they’re treating them as the same product, equating them to one another for the purpose of averaging. Not the classic definition, mind you, but a reasonable facsimile.
