In short, you are saying that the marketing is fine but some people have misconstrued the meaning behind the presentation, correct? This sounds like a valid argument.
I think what robertthebardis trying to say is that "based on" is purposely vague phrase ... I mean i could easily make pokenom engine game (or more like old Final Fantasy) were you will be in Faerun instead of pokemon and will be fighting monsters instead ... and still call is "based on DnD" ... Bcs there is same world, same races, same classes, same lore and SOME mechanics ...
Will that piss some people off? Certainly. But was it false advertising? Not at all.
Its just not what people expect ... but as long as i as a Developer ... and Wizards of the Coast as owner of trademark ... are okey with final product no matter how many people dislikes it that game IS "based on DnD".
//Edit: Let's take another example the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Many people hates it some even say that this is not actually Star Wars it breaks My Rules which were set in universe ... We dislike it. We hate it. We refuse to call it Star Wars.
And yet Star Wars it is because Disney owner of trademark said so.
