You led us on with this countdown and now this is what we get?


Bioware, GO **** YOURSELVES.

Love,

your (ex)customers from Australia.

It'll be some sort of legal issue, I guess.

Still doesn't make it any less disappointing.

[Rista B]

Just remember that Bioware is from Canada so don't get pissed at us Americans. We didn't do it (this time)!

[Arbiter Libera]

Legal issue my ass. There are no legal issue when they need to have a world-wide game release, are there (especially is you're shipping your game from, HMMM, America)? I mean, if BioWare with EA's backing can't get over these "legal issues" than who can?

As a resident of the United States I can't participate either, since Florida is excluded.



BioWare really dropped the ball on this one.

Different countries have different rules regarding competitions. I think one European country, for example, has a law stating that if the prize is unwanted the competition holder has to supply an amount of money to the value of the prize (so say you won a $100 picture and you didn't want it, they'd have to give you $100).

Yeah that's so cool to be hyped up for an event and feel excluded...

Seriously they could have warned that people outside US would have zero interest into this.

Non-USA customers can always be awarded with prizes in digital form, ie. special or new dlc, unlocking current DLC for users who haven't purchased all of them etc.
No legal issues at all.

This is VERY disappointing

That's what written consent is for.

Yeah i dont blame bioware for restricting laws stopping them from awesome things but i am annoyed at them for hyping it as an "Epic community event". Its more like a "Rather large american event excluding florida and new york". I'll agree its not as snappy but much more accurate.

[stuffingam]

LOL i have like 4000 tokens already and cant actually do anything with them cos of where I live

[Xytroncore]

And for the longest time I was actually proud that Bioware was Canadian, so much for that.



All they would have had to do was add a skill testing question to redeem a prize and it would have been OK in every province except Quebec... Which is better than nothing.

No Bioware is not a Canadian Company anymore, remember? They merged with Bono's Pandemic Studios then pandemic studios opened the lines to EA because they wanted to be bought out by EA. Then EA bought Pandemic studios in which they layed everyone at pandemic studios off because they just wanted Bioware so now Bioware is an American Company owned by Americans.

Heh, and apparently New York ain't good enough either.

New Yorks Liberals want to ban Salt and want to nit pick everything you do, is this contest is not in New York I wouldn't blame them.....lol how many people are leaving the Rust Belt, CA and New York in droves?

[Zepplin_Rules]
