Well, the apology is nice - but that was the easy part. I'll reserve final judgement until I see what they now have in store for all of the community.



And I find the explanation hard to believe. Bioware/EA sell on the international market, their marketing and legal departments are no bunch of amateurs. Either they really did their job THAT badly or it was not a last second issure. And if it was not a last second issue, it would have been nice to tell the community about this issue and not hide behind legal smallprint.

Hopefully they got some laughs from the sigs and pictures posted. Know I did.

Only the apology, if you didn't see it already!

Just a joke, but thanks anyway.

All the idiots who are saying we should of waited for the news rather than have posted our discust in the  announcement thread are morons.

I seriously doubt this announcement was being planned prior to those not in community showing their anger and discust. This is obviously a quick response to the situation which is why we've heard no response from BioWare up until now.

Basically what I'm saying is voicing your oinion works and you should practice this right. If you're a customer of company you should be treated with respect and not act like a mindless brown-nosing stooge, as some of the people posting here are implyling you should act. If you are unhappy with how a company is acting in certain respects then you should voice your distress and not just stay quiet as a parent would want a child to be, because we're BioWare's costumes not friends or employees.

Yeah, the explanation is bullcrap.

But the fact they apologized is worth its weight in gold ...

Exactly. Don't care what reason they came up with to save face.

The fact that they bothered to come up with an excuse at all, and are taking steps to make it up to people... it may not mean a lot to people who are ranting about those EVIL LIARS(!!!!!!11) but it's enough for me. I'm capable of forgiving and (mostly) forgetting*.

We need new banners saying we are part of the community again.

[Taltherion]

That's exactly why I'm a bit reluctant/doubtful. Bioware's marketing department has not for the first time rubbed me the wrong way.



I accept the apology, but I thing it is very easy to write something like that - remaining silent was not an option in my opinion. They had to say something.

Now deeds must follow the apology and before I have not seen the deeds, I'm not fully convinced.



And: I don't take bull**** explanations very kindly.

Ah yes, "the rest of the world". I thought we dismissed that claim.

Now THAT'S classic.

Pretty funny, so they discovered "at the last minute" that every other country has different regulations...right.

Me either, but I'm willing to try to be optimistic.

And let's be honest, whatever the truth, this kind of explanation was the only one ever likely to be given. It enables them to apologise to the community, while also taking some responsibility for the problem, but not so much blame that they look too bad.

If they'd said "Gee, we didn't consider you folks, didn't realise you'd get so mad" perhaps it would be more accurate (perhaps not), but in any case an admission that they didn't consider a large group of their fanbase would be akin to suicide.

It's a compromise that allows both sides to move on, so that's fine by me.

[Kaiser Shepard]

Kerridan, are you still interested in my offer?
If necessary, I will prove that I am indeed well equipped.
