Not to me tion the fact that some of the marketing materials weren't even put together by us, using things we'd made, sure, but things could easily have changed between the time we'd given them the materials and the time the game actually released.

It's not much different in movies and there are many cases of movies still being edited days, if not hours before the premiere.

With due dates set long in advance, productions are always straining to get the work done in time so lots of things are running in parallel.

And scenes are cut for various reasons not just that "they're not good enough to be in the movie.". A major one is time and pacing. The whole Rogue subplot was removed mostly for that reason; it disrupted the flow of the movie. One change can also necessitate cuts of otherwise good material. In T2, they cut a very cool, very difficult to shoot scene of Sarah and John removing the CPU from Arnold's head for time reasons, however the removal of that scene necessitated the removal of some other material explaining why that surgery was necessary and other material related to it. Much of it was great material.

Their only job is to put butts into seats, and they don't have any kind of authority to tell a director "hey we used such and such scene in the trailer you better not cut it." I really doubt that case will go anywhere, it's pretty frivolous.
