  SNIPER: GHOST WARRIOR TRILOGY

  I contacted Fanatical awhile ago that its a bit misleading of them to be calling it GHOST WARRIOR TRILOGY but then excluded GW 3 from the pack

    What was the outcome?

      they tried to pass blame to the publisher - 'oh they made us write the page like this' but in the end nothing happened.
      Was a bit miffed as I bought this pack before; thinking I got all three GW, with GW3 being the most polished.

        It is probably true though - it is the publishers that name the games, trilogies, and bundles, not the third party sites.

          I think you're right there

    Ohhhh man, I just came to OZB to see if there was a coupon in the comments for an extra 20c off, after receiving this bundle in my email. I'm exclusively after GW3, and I DID notice that it wasn't listed in the description. Man, I'm so glad that I read this as I have the other games…

    Fanatical, if you're reading this, include a specific "CONTENTS" section where you blatantly name the included games/dlcs. There's no excuse for this; you might be blaming the publisher for the bundle wording, but you're gladly accepting people's money when they misunderstand. That's willful ignorance.

      To be fair if you read the first six lines of the description it is pretty clear what is in the trilogy.
      Could they make it clearer: yes
      Is there some responsibility on the purchaser to read: yes as well

      Plus, every time there is a deal for this trilogy, complaints about GW3 not included crop up. And despite the complaints the publisher still does not change it so I would assume it is futile to complain about it. If they wanted to change it, they would have done it a long time ago.

        Being able to read it and know what it contains does not justify it. If this was a contract for buying a house that stated "you will sign over your first born" instead of "you now own this house", then it would be immoral, potentially not binding, and possibly even illegal depending on your local laws.

        The problem is absolutely with the publisher, I recognize and emphasize that, but Fanatical can avoid receiving complaints by making it clearer, themselves… Or, refusing to sell the bundle as it is titled; something they have not done, thus far.

        They justify it being titled as a trilogy because it contains 3 games:
        Sniper Ghost Warrior
        Sniper Ghost Warrior 2
        Sniper Art of Victory
        —> https://store.steampowered.com/sub/36904/
        However it is NOT, by definition, a "ghost warrior trilogy", if it only includes two ghost warrior games. There's no ifs or buts about it; it's intentionally misleading.

          -1

          @TheTopMostDog: First, I am not sure about your house analogy at all.

          Fanatical is not doing immoral here - they sell a product that has been named by its manufacturer/publisher. Fanatical use the name they are given. That is what the product is called and that is what Fanatical sells.
          Again, any blame lies with whoever named it - the publisher.

          Plus, what does "trilogy" mean?

          If someone sold Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2, and The Pre-Sequel as a trilogy (whereas the Pre-Sequels sits somewhere or before either game) would that be a trilogy? Would it not be one just because the games are not numbered 1, 2, and 3 or because one game is called slightly different than the other two games?

          Would you be happy if the renamed the last game: Ghost Warrior: Sniper Art of Victory? Definitely a trilogy then, right?

          Imagine what would happen if Fanatical renamed the product?

          They could run into issues with the publisher, a lot of people (and I guarantee that) would slam them for that as they could not find the product on Steam or slam them for naming it something different than Steam.

          It really does not matter for Fanatical as there will ALWAYS be some people who complain.

          Does it really matter? Is it life-and-death important? You know what it means.

          Plus, call me crazy, I am of the opinion that if you do not bother to read what you are buying it is your fault if you buy the wrong thing, especially as in this case it is clearly evident. The case would be different if Fanatical tried to hide it.
          Fanatical is not misleading, either negligently or intentionally (which actually is a big statement to make: if you do that do the wrong company in the wrong environment you will be poor for the rest of your life)

          Finally, no matter how much you dislike this - it will not change and is not worth having this discussion over and over again every time a deal for the product is posted. There will be another deal in the future and it will still be posted a Ghost Warrior Trilogy. And probably someone will again cry foul. As nothing will change, that is kind of pointless.
