    Does standing in line at an event labeled early access mean it's false advertising if you still get in before it starts, just because you didn't get to instantly walk in? No. Same thing applies.

    I think it's a fair statement, even if not a legal one. This happens with EVERY expansion pre-order launch. They know full well their website can't take it, and they refuse to invest in a working storefront. They know it's going to be full of crashes and errors for a day or more.

    Even if they're too cheap to implement a queue system, they could split up opening pre-orders for the physical and digital version to split up the surge on their website.

    At the very minimum, maybe state before pre-orders even open that the store is likely to be hammered and that there will likely be delays instead of promising "instant delivery!"
