The filing of the class action lawsuit has received no coverage in the mainstream media. CNN, NBC News, the New York Times, and Marketwatch ignored the story.

And yet, over the last few days, all of those outlets published one or more articles promoting Prime Day sales to their readers.

Did you know #BreathofFire II had certain MAGIC effect the battle backdrops?🔥 Some examples like casting Typhoon in the desert creates sandstorms (and whooshes tress in forest areas), or an ice spell underwater freezes the screen.
