Hello, I just did the culling, the cutscenes in there, looked NOTHING like the ones we saw at the reveal, Arthas was even awesome and grabbing his hammer looking like he was breathing heavily, but what I got was Arthas standing straight as a stick, with his hammer at his side, what the hell is this? How do I request a Refund?

First of all, no. That is not false advertising in any legal sense.
Yes, it is scummy though.

How is it not? There are no new cutscenes and the campaign hasn´t been touched as wellâŚ.

Show me where they advertised in official writing on the released copy that there will be extended cut scenes never before seen in the original gameâŚ
It was a tech demo that literally stated âthis is not the finished product and things are subject to changeâ.

The cutscenes are reforged since they use reforged models. Thatâs enough, you canât say itâs a scam. They never said âthey will all look like the cullingâ, just âthey will be reforgedâ.
Itâs sad but we all knew thatâs was coming.

lol, I can see the people who cried for MONTHS demanding the game shouldnât be changed in any way but graphically doing one of these >.> V.V. Just like retail WoW, Blizzard only messed up by giving a vocal population exactly what they wanted.
Except you are misleading people just like Blizzard. You are referring to reforged visuals. People are talking about the campaign by definition then what is this â4 hours of reforged cutscenesâ that they had promised? if theyâre barely to no different from vanilla WC3? Itâs like taking a rusty 20 year old knife, hiding it in a sheath and advertising it as new aka âreforgedâ

Ding Ding Ding give this man a prize, he hit the nail on the head
If itâs not false advertising in any legal sense it definitely should be.
Actually not true in sense that all cutscenes have the character models talking and showing small hand gestures (I know its not much, but its there) + some of the cutscenes like Arthas killing Malâganis are pretty much entirely redone compared to old ones. Also some of the campaign maps that they promised to remake (Stratholme, Dalaran and Silvermoon mainly) WERE redone and Assault on Silvermoon especially is completely different map compared to the original.
So while their marketing isnt accurate by any means its not 100% false either.
Fun part is, they still use the tech demo of the culling cutscene to advertise the product, while the final product is nowhere near it:
Look @ playwarcraft3. com
True, but again look at what it reads on the actual Culling Trailer:
âWORK IN PROGRESS - ART AND EFFECTS NOT FINALâ
But I do agree that Blizzard/Reforged team SHOULD have come up with some kind video before the release talking exactly what was removed/what to expect from the game, cause even though they DID talk about these things in Blizzcon, from marketing/communcations perspective it would have been the right thing to do to upload a video before the release to talk about what was scrapped, what new things are included in game and so onâŚthat way they could have avoided much of this backlash if they had been as transparent as possible about it.

They just released the tech demo from 2017 on accident. No biggie. I heard they will upload the real game with all the cutscenes tonight.

Coincidentally also when the refund tool is no longer allowed, I think not, I will buy it again if I feel they have fixed the cutscenes, but otherwise my refund request sticks.
