I give you guys an idea:

http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/

I think someone can write a stupid news for today xD Contact them xD

They only post the 'real' news from the ME2 menu screen, they don't add/make up their own news.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but I'm definitely not going to sift through 150 pages to find out. The reasoning for the contest only being held in the USA is simple. The USA has this lovely law that says if you hold a contest within the USA, you cannot offer it anywhere else.

So there it is. Is it right? No. Am I trying to justify the decision? No. Just giving out information as to why Bioware won't offer the contest elsewhere. It's because they're not allowed to.

In that case, they should've mentioned that the contest was only for Americans and not just call it "epic COMMUNITY event". Or just add a little paragraph explaining why it's being held ONLY in U.S. 

I agree with you.  This is why you can't say it's just the USA's fault.  Bioware definitely should've thought this through and by calling it an "Epic Community Event" really was the wrong choice of words.  Although I suppose no matter when they announced it people were going to get mad that it's USA only, but surely there was a better way of handling it.

Well bioware is clearly awake after all they are locking topics!

Still no answer

They are locking down all the other superflous threads relating to it though.

It seems pretty clear that they are just going to ignore this thread until people give up and go away.

[Horox]

If they lock all topics, and there will be no official answer from them, situation will be just worse.

[Stormghost]

Still no response from the devs? That really is poor. Just say sorry!

It's forums like these that are a conduit for all things I despise in verminous self-righteous head cases like the ones in this thread. Quoting from a post on Kotaku;

"I work for a contest company, the reason that they exclude Florida and New York is because those two states require you to "bond and register" your promotions with those states. Basically, it means that Bioware would have to jump through a bunch of hoops and pay money (or face fines) to the states of Florida and NY. So, New Yorkers or Floridians, blame your states.

As for Canadians, you cannot legally award a prize to a Canadian through a game of chance. Therefore, Canadians are not eligible for a sweepstakes or an instant win promotion. The loophole is a math skill test, which would be complicated and expensive for Bioware to employ.

Basically, Bioware took the cheapest and most reasonable route and avoided Canada, Florida, and New York." - juxtaposed11

It's a promotion, and a very large one at that. What? is there something wrong with that? They do these kinds of things in the realms of feasibility and all anyone can do is complain. It makes me wonder why I even bother, trying to bring sense and logic to the idiots on the internet who couldn't probably even spell "logic."

Just like everyone else defending ea and bw you're missing the whole ****ing point...

Im curious how well will the Kasumi DLC sell after this failure....

I think that at the very worst it'll cost them a couple of sales on some DLC in the near future, but I highly doubt when DO2 or ME3 gets released in 1-2 years there will be a single soul not buying the game over this, or even remember it.

[MOTpoetryION]

these are getting shut down so fast

Hopefully we have enough fight left to crush their will...actually, I can't put it any friendlier than that.

Well first i think it's a bit rude to make this event only in the USA, you can put it anyway, bla bla laws, hmm evil EA, lol it's just an event, but why make this event then, if you can't offer it to most of the people. But okey then make this event anyway, it's fun for the US citizens at least (except NY anf Florida as i understand)
But seriously why announce it the way they did? Just write some words into the countdown (only in the USA) next time and people wont take it as an instant kick in their nuts.

Ah and btw, that BioWareEpicFail game was cool!

agreed they'll just keep all the raging on a couple of threads. to keep it under control then just leave it till it settles down or until they have a solution.... like an apology for example

[heretica]

It looks like they are re-directing the NerdRage towards this thread only.



Ahhh BioWare...

[Horox]

You are all naive if you think they'll apologize. They are too... proud to do something like that.

As much it would sell before the countdown. We are in this network because we love BW products. This whole event so far is a disaster and we will criticize them in order to raise their standards in marketing section. But thats it. 
Example: Personally i hate blizzard but this doesnt mean that i wont buy their products.

Probably the same, I know I will still buy it.

I won't buy everything BioWare related anymore, though: If future Dragon Age games also omit the Ultimate Sacrifice ending from their possible canon, I won't buy them either.

Makes you wonder why Chris or someone else doesn't just get on here and say "Sorry for our poor choice of words and the unnecessary 7 day countdown timer "  that would solve most of the issue.

Also I love how everyone defending them, ea and bw, types these long ass messages that noone will read but the first line then say "f that."  Also it's funny how they try to sound so smart.

A few, perhaps, if they'd announced that it was USA only straight away.

Setting up a countdown clock for EVERYONE, knowing that they were building up hype among EVERYONE, all the while knowing that a large number of those people would get NOTHING, and would clearly be disappointed... that's just dumb. One can only surmise that either:

a) They knew that people were getting excited over something they wouldn't be able to take part in, but genuinely don't care about their customers outside of 48 specific states of the USA, so their reaction doesn't matter.

 They're so US-centric that they never even considered that they have fans from outside the US on these forums.

c) They genuinely believed that after a week of hype-building, the many who were told "actually, it's not for you" would just punch the air slightly, and say "Oh shucks, never mind" or "I sure do love this community event I can't take part in!"

Option A is just plain scumtastic.
Option B is very dumb, but unsurprising from EA, and at least not malicious.
Option C is either dumb beyond belief or ridiculously naive.
