This contest is by BioWare not Electronic Arts. Everyone here knows EA, if they were involved their logo would be everywhere; on the front page, on the bottom of the page, on the ceiling, on the ceiling fan, etc.

This was for the fifteenth anniversary of BioWare. BioWare has not been owned by EA for its entire lifespan and BioWare has made its own mistakes when EA wasn't even in the picture. EA certainly has it's problems but this is BioWare's mistake in how they marketed this.

 

I fully agree that Bioware shares the blame in this debacle, but to claim that this  is a Bioware contest,  and not  an EA contest, is simply Wrong.  Have you read the Contest information? 

http://social.biowar...ction_rules.php


Any entrant may be disqualified immediately from this Competition and, at the discretion of the Sponsor or its designees from further EA Online competitions, for any failure to comply with the EA Online Terms...

^it's an EA online Competition.  Clear as day.

This is in addition to All the terms of service, rules, and other mind-numbingly tedious EA-lawyer speak on that page.  In fact, it's pretty much safe to assume that Bioware is merely sponsoring the event.

The parent company is ultimately responsible, also the Bioware accounts are also EA accounts that is why the legalities are EA first.

Go to any game developer site and the parent company will be listed in the terms and legalities.



Back to the fun, I really do love the signatures, thanks for those. Also the world map is awesome. :)

I didn't read that far into the contest rules (for obvious reasons Posted Image) but that just reinforces my idea of EA using BW as a front for their stupidity.

Kasumi comes out in a week, anything we hear from BioWare will be about that. They'll hold the Bazaar, and they'll ignore all these complaints - even all these userbar sigs - for a long, long time.

The userbars are cool because if people keep them on for a while, eventually you figure someone from BioWare will have to acknowledge them, maybe.

What was wrong with Oblivion?  I still play it to this day - every once in a while.

Oh, you bought the Horse Armor Pack, didn't you?


The fact that it's an abomination of a game and absolutely horrible?

Oh you must be one of those people easily confused by "purdy colurs"



I don't recall asking your lame ass for an opinion.  Go crawl back under your bridge.


Hey stop it! Can't you see that's exactly what EA/BioWare wants right now!? Us killing ourselves with them sitting at their desks and laughing them into hospitality!



You know one good thing about this Bazaar Event is how it brings people together.

Hnh. I had no idea Westwood merged with EA. Then again, I haven't played anything from them since RA2.

Bethesda is awesome. Fallout 3 is awesome, Oblivion is awesome. Bethesda developers actually caring about creating a rich modding community is what makes those games awesome, and is partly why Dragon Age felt like a disappointment to me. DA's resource structure is not at all mod-friendly (mods will very easily conflict with each other and make problems for the users), which could have been avoided or circumvented to a degree if they had cared to. They also quite obviously skimmed-out on giving the game the textures it needed - some of them are plain and simply unfinished. Everything feels rushed with them, like they're scrambling for dollars at a ridiculous pace. They're pushing out DLCs and over-priced mini-expansions while they SLUG their way through horrible patches that seem to have the reverse effect of what patches are supposed to do.

The worse thing Bethesda ever did was Horse Armor DLC, but compared to Appearance Pack DLCs and these cheap marketing schemes BioWare is pulling and their overall ineptitude as of late, the Horse Armor comes off looking pretty reasonable. Bethesda themselves is about as fine an RPG developer I've ever seen. I certainly have never seen them stoop to conning customers with Epic Countdowns that lead into viral marketing schemes with trite self-promoting merchandise for prizes. It's just so lame that while I laugh at it for being stupid marketing, it also just leaves a bad taste in your mouth, like watching a late-night infomercial. Sham-wow is better than this./rant

I agree. 100%. This is a BioWare forum and some of these people here are absolutely convinced that BioWare is the best thing since sliced bread. Even if BioWare screws up with this Epic Community Event then the apologists will still defend BioWare to death. Telling that games like Oblivion are bad and BioWare can do much better is just a way to ensure their own little position within the non-existent BioWare community. :P
