In a recent development, a class-action lawsuit has been filed against the cancellation of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 (KOTOR 2) downloadable content (DLC) for the Nintendo Switch. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by two plaintiffs who purchased the game on the Nintendo eShop.

The lawsuit alleges that the cancellation of the KOTOR 2 DLC was a breach of contract and that the plaintiffs were misled into believing that the DLC would be available for purchase. The lawsuit also claims that the cancellation of the DLC was a violation of California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act and Unfair Competition Law.

The plaintiffs are seeking damages for their losses, including refunds for their purchases and attorneys’ fees. They are also seeking an injunction to prevent Nintendo from cancelling any future DLC releases without providing adequate notice to consumers.

The lawsuit comes after Nintendo announced in April 2021 that it was cancelling the KOTOR 2 DLC due to “unforeseen circumstances”. This announcement came as a surprise to many fans of the game, as the DLC had been previously announced and was expected to be released in May 2021.

The lawsuit is a reminder that companies must be transparent with consumers when it comes to changes in product availability. Consumers should be informed of any changes in a timely manner and should be given an opportunity to make an informed decision before making a purchase.

It remains to be seen how this lawsuit will play out, but it is a reminder that companies must take consumer rights seriously. Companies should ensure that they are providing accurate information to consumers and should be held accountable if they fail to do so.
