QUESTION FOR LAWYERS : can we take any legal actions against UBI ??

Sure, you can sue UBI. Heck, you can sue anybody you want here in the US. But will you win? That's going to be up to a judge and how he/she feels that particular day. Is paying up to $400 per hour to a lawyer plus paying for court costs going to be worth it to you? I don't think so considering you only payed about $50 for the game in general. Don't forget that UBI has lawyers too and they are on a fixed salary. They can drag the case on for YEARS before a judge is allowed to make a determination. By then you, and everyone else (considering a CA lawsuit with multiple parties is involved) will be drained of all money and the payoff will not be worth it. Because by then, UBI will release Silent Hunter VI and and Assassins Creed 3 and they will have generated enough money to prolong the case even longer.

To me, a lawsuit seems ridiculous. You should be able to take the game back for a decent refund if you bought it from a retail store to get back most of your money. That would be the easiest solution and would hurt UBI a lot more if that's what you want to do. Just stop supporting them and all their software titles from here on out if that's how you really feel. If enough people do that, then UBI will fold and go bankrupt eventually. But then who will even come close to delivering us another submarine simulation? It's a double edge sword either way you look at it. Do what you want but I'm going to continue to support UBI because it's the only company that's been releasing decent submarine simulators in the past decade. Janes is dead and has been for sometime now. UBI is all there is. Thank God for them!
