Azshane on the US forums mentioned she wishes she could post the following question on the EU forums. I'm curious about the answer, so I take the liberty to post it here, in case anyone knows an answer:
"I wonder if "Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees" could apply to this RealID situation. And if it can, how much liability would then be owed to the consumers.
If you assume it costs 90 USD to get vanilla, BC, and wrath. Plus 24 months (assuming there is a 2 year max) at 15 USD would be 360 USD for a total of 450. Now lets assume 1 million people in europe have been playing this game just shy of 2 years. That's 450,000,000 USD in possible refunds.
Yes, I know, assuming is bad. but at 430 am the brain doesn't want to look up numbers after attempting to read a law like that. "
