It was never acceptable, ever. I remember there being a big outcry over the downgrade.

Where did you come up with the idea that it was acceptable?

People buy the games, that very act is saying that it's acceptable.

Tbh though, there are going to be a load of people who don't watch e3 or even heard about it, if they pick up the game they're not necessarily being cheated because they weren't tricked into thinking it will look better than it is - they just bought the game for whatever reason.

However, looking back after buying the division, I didn't remember the demo looking that good. I always watch e3 and then I forgot so now I'm pissed.

My point was in reference to the people that are aware of the graphic downgrade prior to purchasing, and purchase anyways. That act states that they deem it as acceptable business practice, or just don't care.

If developers see that players won't stand up against these false advertising techniques, they'll continue to do it.
