A class-action lawsuit related to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II on Nintendo Switch has surfaced, with plaintiffs seeking restitution and damages for what the lawsuit claims were illegal marketing and advertisements used by developer Aspyr Media and its parent company Saber Interactive.
As spotted by The Gamer, the lawsuit was originally filed on July 8 in the state of California on behalf of the plaintiff Malachi Mickelonis and other customers in the state who felt they had been deceived by Aspyr following their purchase of KOTOR II on Switch.

Now Playing: Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Remake Update | PlayStation Showcase 2021
Aspyr's port of Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic II for Nintendo Switch released last year, and initially promised «Restored Content DLC» for the original Xbox-era RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment was «coming soon.» According to the lawsuit, when asked when the DLC would arrive by fans on Twitter, Aspyr in the summer of 2022 stated the DLC would release in Q3 2022.

The Restored Content DLC was a major selling point for the Switch port, with the game's cut content having previously only been available unofficially on PC thanks to modders.

When the DLC was canceled and Mickelonis was unable to receive a refund, he sought legal action in July 2023, a few weeks after the announcement that the DLC was canceled.
The lawsuit alleges that Mickelonis and other consumers were misled by Aspyr and Saber's «unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business practices,» and that the two companies «have been and will continue to be unjustly enriched by the receipt of ill-gotten gains from customers.» According to the lawsuit, Mickelonis and other class action members «would not have
