While similar, it's not exact.<br><br>The issue here is not that a Linux binary will never come out, it's that it hasn't come out in your timeframe.<br><br>And, honestly, you can't buy things based on things people say. If you do, that's your own problem. This is like if you found out the car in your example below wouldn't even turn on for you but you decided to buy it anyway expecting that eventually it would be able to turn on. Why would buy something that you can't even use with nothing more than the HOPE that you will be able to use it at some point in the future?<br>
<br>The state of the game when you buy it IS all that matters. I could buy a hundred PS3 games right now, but not having a PS3 I wouldn't be able to play any of them. Whose fault is that? It really doesn't matter if they promised it would do this or that, you knew at the moment you bought it that it wouldn't and there was no timeline for when it would.<br>

No. That implies that only the statements on the box matter, which is utterly false.<br>
<br>
Let's take an analogy. Let's say I deliver to you a car, which you pay for, on the strength of my advertised commitment that the car will drive on dirt roads. Near the completion of the car, I say, "Gosh Brizzo, I can't get that dirt road thing done on time, but I'll get it done. I will. You know me. I make cars that drive on all sorts of roads. That's what I'm about." If, after a year or so, you complained to a friend that that asshole Willson never modified your car the way he said he would, and your friend said that you have only yourself to blame for trusting that I would, because the door-tag didn't say "made for dirt roads", since, well, it couldn't, because according to my own statements it wasn't dirt road ready, but that it would after I modified it for you... Well, you might think your friend was very dim.<br>
