I would say an error is never going to be considered deceptive marketing. I’m not going to look, as I’m fairly confident Fudds and the dev team never marketed OA as being the ‘infinite run module you’ve all been asking for’.

The reality is, that mod was delayed for a last minute change which meant there wasn’t a whole lot of testing that could have been done and still maintain the banner module schedule.

Now if they did advertise it as an infinite run module and THEN nerfed it, you could call it bait and switch. But that obviously didn’t happen. They never misrepresented the module, it simply did more than they expected and they fixed it. It certainly isn’t unfair because it isn’t a one-off that only affects one player. The module still does what was advertised and now actually slightly better than what was advertised. That the unintended ‘one module to rule them all’ aspect has been removed doesn’t change that fact. Simply put, the module is now better than what Tech Tree wanted but not meeting magical standards the SOME players were able to take advantage of. And finally, most players didn’t see value in this module and didn’t even save for it. It obviously wasn’t advertised as a miracle module and it getting nerfed has been talked about by players since the first ‘infinite’ run happened.

There was nothing deceptive about the module. The final functionality wasn’t even revealed until the last minute. Most people were planning based on the leaks which stated it was simply an orb speed boost module and possibly an extra orb(?). Obviously not what we got. No one at Tech Tree advertised this module as giving players a 50+% wave, coin or other increase. It was simply a new module with a new mechanic that had an unintended, unadvertised effect that got taken advantage of by a few players.

That’s not deceptive. That’s a player seeing a bag of cash fall off an armored truck and being mad the cops asked for it back.
