How many people have calculate before me that less than 4% of world population is eligible to take part in the contest? Even among Americans, more than one out of ten is excluded. (based on Wikipedia and assumption that everywhere in the world there's similar age pyramid)

I hope that this will teach EA a lesson. Make use of your foreign branches if you have ones.
(I don't think that's BioWare's fault. They wouldn't exclude their homeland.)

EDIT: BTW, who was responsible for Marilyn Manson in DA ads? If it was EA, then fruits of their and BioWare's partnership are less and less appealing to me.

The more I read this forum, the more I feel that Bioware and EA's partnership won't last much longer.

Eh, whatever. Florida**** here. It's just a contest, most of you probably wouldn't have even bidded on any of the things. You're probably whining just to be whining.

Though I do feel a tiny bit gutted at not being able to claim a ME branded 360. I'll get over it. And you should too.

Whether you bid or want to bid or not....is not the point.  People are whining as you put it because the whole thing was missleading to the global community as a whole and alienated most of it.  Also it was a huge let down because of the hype of putting a countown on the site.

Yeah....will we get over it.  Probably.  But it's only been a day and the community has been burned so anger is justified.  And I'll get over it when I damn well feel like it and hear what Bioware has to say about it.

If you weren't going to bid why whine at all? It just seems so futile to me. And if you were actually expecting something grand from a "major community event" on an internet forum you just need to get out more my friend. 

Also, dwelling on the past is unhealthy. Especially when it's something as insignificant as this.

As I said....it is not about bidding.  It is about marketing something to the masses that 70% don't even qualify for.  Besides which, if you approach everything with apathy as you apparently do, then nothing ever changes.  This whole fiasco was wrong in approach and execution and I think it is healthy and right to voice opinions on the matter to Bioware.  If you don't want to complain...fine but leave the rest of us to do it then and go be apathetic somewhere else.

I'm not apathetic I just think that it is pointless to make a big deal about something that has nothing to do with Bioware. Do you really think they would exclude their own people? This money will most likely go to EA anyways. You're pretty much just crying about not feeling included on an internet forum. Again, I suggest you, and everyone here who are raging, take a walk outside.

@Caprica9 "This money will most likely go to EA anyways". So why don't they mke it open to the world to make a bigger profit?

Look =/ its quite simple actually imagine yourself as a little kid and you are in a party, the clown party tells you ARE YOU READY FOR THE BIG SURPRISE? ARE YOU? YES? well you have to wait for it, now the clown makes you wait for lets say 6 hours telling you this over and over, and the ppl at the party dont stop talking about it, after the six hours the clown finally tells everyone HEY I GOT CANDY for EVERYONE! and everybody goes YAY ( even its just candy you have been waiting it for some time now ) and then he tells you, you can only get candy if you are wearing a red shirt.

Its simple you will get ANGRY if the clown would just said i have candy for those wearing red shirts mabye some would have been angry but not MOST of them.

I'm assuming they can't be bothered to go through all the different laws each country has. That's the reason Florida is being excluded anyway. Though I do think it's a tad bit silly to not include Canada at least.

I'd kill to see the ME2 themed PC and Xbox 360.

I agree with you man.Nothing is worse than apathy. I don't care about not being able to bid (I wouldn't have as I think it's rather pointless) but I'm posting to voice my disapproval regarding this shameless attitude towards the fanbase.

Given the reaction of most fans I'm pretty sure the good people at Bioware will have to take notice and recognize that it was a bad move to advertize something like this and build up expectations of fans everywhere.

Given that the whole thing was to celebrate Bioware's 15 years and that it was meant to salute the fanbase's support it's understandable that we should be irritated when we realize that to Bioware the fanbase is limited to the US (minus NY and FLA).

The most ironic part is that Canadians are de facto excluded from the fanbase. I could understand that we nasty Europeans were left aside but Bioware is supposed to be a Canadian company... Excluding Canadians from the fanbase is even more preposterous.

Yeah yeah...It is all the big bad publishers fault.  No body likes to blame Bioware for anything.  Please....they are still their own company with their own CEO and still have a say in their marketing.  Of course EA will be involved.  But seriously why do you care that people are upset?  Go post in other topics.

Can't we all just get along and agree that it should be open to everyone?

Rofl!

This whole Florida thing reminds me of the days of the Hanging Chad:

Are you a child? No. So why don't you just buy the prizes (candy) yourself? Most of the prizes are available in the store and even the ones that aren't they're not really worth all the this effort. Either way, it all comes down to you being an adult and not holding onto past things.

*sight* its about the hype not the prizes, we were told that we would have and epic comunity event, and most of us got nothing but disapointment.

I assume youre the bully in the nursery then? The one always taking other people's toys (or right to speak in this case)

[Rahath]

Ok, so you have shown your appreciation for the American fans, even though you could have brought it more tactful.



So now my question to you Bioware/EA: What are you going to do for the rest of us?

Waaaaa....I'm here to whine about the whiners.  Hypocrit.

Not whining. Just stating facts. You've all basically been posting the same thing for 29 pages. "Why isn't the rest of the world included?" You've already been given an answer and you're still going on about it. Yes it's wrong, the sigs are a nice touch. They see that you're upset. There's no reason to go on about it any longer.
