AoA, as correct as you are, at no point were such statements retracted. It's not that people are pretending they were misled: they genuinely believed that if they were told X would be in the game with no retraction of statement, and it wasn't, there are clear grounds to show a major element of misleading information.
The box or the website will in no way list every single feature in the game. With your logic, one has reason to grumble for features users aren't told about!
The hard fact is that users should have realised the team were dreaming prior to release, but unfortunately any prominent poster here was hoodwinked.
There's the classic case of the woman who kills her cat by putting it in the microwave when it's cold. There's nothing in the instructions to say this would happen, so she wins her court case.
With the information in Oleg's interviews in mind (which weren't retracted) there's nothing to say the team can't be held responsible. They're the only ones responsible.
