Gov petitions isn’t the answer. Class action lawsuits against devs with already standing consumer rights laws is.

The govt themselves have already responded explaining the consumer rights on the petition main bit being

Consumers should also be aware that while there is a statutory right for goods (including intangible digital content) to be of a satisfactory quality, that will only be breached if they are not of the standard which a reasonable person would consider to be satisfactory, taking into account circumstances including the price and any description given.

KSP 2 comes to mind here as the current state of the game does not fit the description or trailers given yet the studio has shut the project down.
