I think it has something to do with the magic barriers around the US that stop small packages like t-shirts, posters and mugs getting through.

How the people in PR were unable to see this reaction before it happened is beyond me. They must be damn poor at doing their work properly(offense intended). It's downright abuse of fans' trust for a quick viral marketing ploy. Damned degrading for both parties.

Epic Fail.

What the point of countdowns at European sites if Europe is not included?

Disappointed.

Just because it's a community event doesn't mean it's a community WIDE event, but that it isn't available to those who don't take part in the community.

Then why was it on MY bio page along with everyone else's?

If they were going to be SELECTIVE and only choose PREFERRED customers to participate..then they should have only advertised this "EPIC" event in the continental USA...

This event just fails in so many ways, and definitely lowers my esteem for Bioware and its marketing ploys.

Sorry for writing in Russian, but each nation should use profanities in their native language to show EA how much we hate them!

There are already two threads complaining about this US-only event:
- http://social.biowar...6/index/1960259
- http://social.biowar...3/index/1959967

I'm sure in a few hours there will be a lot more. I don't understand why you announce first the countdown and now the event for everyone to see, but then you say is only for the US. If it's only for the US, announce it only for the US-resident social members. I supose this is only for US for legal issues, but don't announce then in Europe (or Canada, or other Continents/Countries).

I hope the next one will include Europe too...

Heh ..geographically speaking..according to EA..Canada isn't on the North American map.   

From now on, perhaps a mass e-mailing to your PREFERRED customers would be more tactful...EA Canada (Bioware)

Its just one step away from annexing Canada altogether.

They've been saying that for YEARS...long as I have been alive...hasn't happened yet.   They probably figure we'll burn their White House down again.  

No, it's just that most aren't ready for the manlieness that is Curling.

Even as an American I am not going to participate in this BS. I don't necessarily blame Bioware, I think its more an EA push through their most dominate subsidiary. After all, Bioware is 2/3 located in Canada where EA is HQ'd in California USA

[CRISIS1717]

To show our appreciation of American fan support and to celebrate the 15th anniversary of BioWare, we have created the BioWare Bazaar

Yeah, thanks Bioware. 

[Arbiter Libera]

What I'm really pissed off about is this ludicrous thing that we overseas customers cannot be given anything in any way it seems. It doesn't need to be physical (if there are legal issues, which I find hard to be believe when you see people ordering things from America to the rest of the world, with tax and all) but I sure as hell wouldn't say no to DLCs or some other digital content created for this purpose which can be directly bound to our Social Network account.

Thats why have been using bollocks and sod a lot. Gets through the filter and everyone from britain knows my disgust.

[Metallisika]

Finland here. Severely disappointed at Bioware/EA for screwing with their fans like this. It's funny how all of us have the tokens even though most of us can't participate.



4200 points for sale. Oh wait I can't do that, never mind.

I really really wanted the Mass Effect PC... A man can dream though. A man can dream.

Really? I am still going to participate and try to get some neat swag. You're only hurting yourself by not participating, but at least there will be one less person bidding on it.

I agree, it is pretty funny. I'm disapointed that Bioware have essentially turned their back on so many fans, but cursing Bioware with 'f*** you', 'go to hell' and that sort of thing is just way too over the top.

Guess BioWare definitely need to use ebay for that.

Hit the nail on the head right there! I totally agree with you, the internet has no borders!

Then everyone would be complaining that not only were they excluded, but BioWare was trying to HIDE it from them!!!

Really, this is one of those damned if you did damned if you didn't situations. The only way they could have made everyone happy would have been to find a way to include everyone. I can't speak as to why they didn't, I'm guessing it has to do with laws in various countries and the use of the points system. *shrugs* Do I personally, think it would have been better for it to have been a world wide event? Or for them to have seperate events for sections of the world? Sure, but I can see how that might not have been feasable. Do I understand why people are upset? Absolutely! I'm just trying to be a voice of reason in the maelstrom of ****storm that is this thread atm. People are taking this way too personally.
