Very nice fail BioWare. I'm from Poland and we are excluded.

[PendragonV]

Gotta give to bioware for their consistency. Good games with total lack of complimenting ideas. Can I have a job in marketing. I challenge your staff to a brainstorm of ideas, reckon I could beat 90% of your staff's inventions.

I live in South Africa.

So I don't count because I must live in a mud hut with lions
outside about to break down and door and eat me?

O s**t just heard one. Dad! get the lion be gone.

Wow, what a huge letdown this countdown was.

[Estelindis]

Well, easy come, easy go. But disappointing nonetheless.



I think we'd be less miffed if Bioware explained why they're only making this open to part of the community. Even still, that won't change the fact that this was overhyped for no apparent reason (i.e. countdown visible to all community members, regardless of whether or not we'd be able to participate).

Everyone I know, people around the world are upset due to being excluded. However you have to think of it in this way...



It is expensive to transport goods around the world. Then you have to get it through customs (I know from experience is the most frustrating thing in the world because I tried bringing a Gateway back from America into Australia) which can cost large amounts of money ($220.95 to get my laptop through customs, meanwhile already spending $1,500 on it) It's all about cost and the money they spend sending all these things around the world equals less money which could be spent on Dragon Age 2 or Mass Effect 3.



I personally prefer it they spent more money on Mass Effect 3 than on sending someone living in...Umm...Uzbekistan (sorry to all the Uzbekistani people I couldn't think of another country and I didn't mean to disrespect to any of you) a cap or t-shirt. But all of us should just take a step back and think about it.

There must be some law's against advertising an event and then discriminating against certain people because they live in a different country.

You could argue it's equal to discrimination of sex, race and religion.

You can buy our products but you can't take part in an event because you are not X. This is discrimination.

You advertised a community event that is not open to everyone that is part of the community, this is false advertising.

If this was done by the a company that is based in teh UK you would be getting shafted by OFCOM.

No, it's sort of like price discrimination, which is legal. Instead of selling a product in different prices in different regions, they just refrain from selling that product at all in those regions. A stronger argument would probably be false advertising.

I may be American but i am tired of this crap. Does this contest applies to Americans or people that live in America and are Americans?

Beeing a resident in Europe, i must say that i am somewhat disapointed, but oh well, what can you do

Happy 15th Anniversary BioWare, keep the games coming please. Story-driven games are my favorite.

So...er..thanks.

Goodnight from outside the community.

Awesome, BW! So whoever's not living in the US (and maybe even soldiers away on duty) doesn't matter in the slightest to you!

Well, at least now we all know we should quit wasting our breaths with feedback, because only men and women in the grand ole' US of A (One nation under God tm) are real people.

[Blk_Mage_Ctype]

This is a GREAT announcement...







In America!

[Spyndel]

Hmmm...lemme see here...already got some free points...ok, so far so good....

No thank you. I pronounce this "lame".

Of course, of course. But they could have told us that it was only for the US from the beginning. People would have been disappointed, as usual, but we wouldn't be having a sh!tstorm of this magnitude.

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

Epic WIN! 

[Dinkamus_Littlelog]

This is probably how Shepard unites the galaxy in ME3.



S/He fakes an "Epic community contest" countdown under the guise of the reapers, and the galaxy is so pissed off at the reapers when it turns out to be a load of crap that excludes them, they unite against the reapers.



Even the batarians join in.

I can only assume the problem is postage costs, what other reason is there to exclude the vast majority of this planets population?



This is not what Bioware are about, surely someone could have a word with EA and ask them to divert a coupla thousand bucks to cover shipping costs.

The goodwill it would engender with your fans would more than make up for the outlay.



All in all, its a pretty poor show. I don't care if it was Biowares decision or not.



In fact, most non US customers (if they won something) would probably be willing to pay the postage themselves anyway, so this is just a complete non issue.



I probably wouldn't have partaken anyway because I have already bought all of the gear I want from the store, but for the people who don't have the option of entering, I feel your pain.

All those people that are from Florida and NY that are complaining, blame your local State Law. Those that are not from the US, Blame Bioware...

Learn how to whine.

I'd like to unsderstand what state law this violates, seeing as I've participated in many contests exactly like this, namely, the mountain dew warcraft contest (same token thingies, etc)

Well, If I recall correctly, Florida and NY might have some State Controlled Lottery. You know, Laws and acts emanating from those might **** up a lot of contests and some parts might be illegal in some new administrative acts from those State Lotteries. Wanting to avoid a fine for a contest, they preferred to forbid it in those 2 States.

They wouldn't have screwed up those 2 States for arbitrary reasons.

As for the rest of the World, especially Canada... now.... that's just bloody lazy on their part.
