Excerpts taken from here:

In a recent article from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), the organization argues that Bioware and EA are indeed guilty of false advertising, though they make no conclusive statements regarding whether this might have legal repercussions.

The article goes on to connect the dots, stating that over-exgerated and flat out “dishonest” promises made regarding “Mass Effect 3” lead to the ensuing protests. The article points to two specific statements regarding the game, which are still up on the Mass Effect website.

The first quote states that players will,  “Experience the beginning, middle, and end of an emotional story unlike any other, where the decisions you make completely shape your experience and outcome.”

The BBB notes that is an absolute statement, promising that players will “completely” shape their experiences, and may gamers who played through “Mass Effect 3” came away strongly disagreeing with this particular promise.

The second quote from Mass Effect’s marketing campaign, adds that, “Along the way, your choices drive powerful outcomes, including relationships with key characters, the fate of entire civilizations, and even radically different ending scenarios.”

Although this one is clearly more open to interpretation, it does promise that decisions made during the game will lead to  “radically different” endings, which, again, fans have argued is just not true.

BBB notes that these are just two examples, which do not cover everything that EA and Bioware claimed regarding “Mass Effect 3” and the game’s ending in particular. However, that does not disprove the original point that in these particular instances the company is guilty of false marketing.

If you’re trying to get the new stuff already, might want to hold off. There’s an internal server error that’s preventing the pack stuff from being used, though the maps are live. No word yet on when it’ll be fixed.
