This is why in Israel the law was recently changed.
Stores can no longer advertise items at extra low cost, or free gifts, and then use the "quantities are limited" or "while supplies last" phrases to cover a bait-and-switch.
They have to actually specify what the quantity is, right there in the ad.
Customers usually assume that "limited quantities" are still in reasonable proportion to the expected demand.
However, since Nexon has pulled this "10 per server" stunt repeatedly, any Nexon customer who still believes he will be able to get anything on Black Friday, nevermind $100+ worth of cheap CS goods, is indeed a chump. "Fool me once" etc.
