-sighs heavily and slowly facepalms-
You know, after I got over the initial 'THISISNEWTHEREFOREAWESOME' thrill of playing ME2 for the first time, I've experienced nothing but bitter disappointment with Bioware. From shoddier character relationships to overshooting the mark in terms of streamlining and linearity, I wasn't happy with the decrease in quality between games. But I got over that once I started viewing the game as standalone.
Then the DLC came along. Ridiculously priced alternate appearance packs and crappy equalizer packs being way overpriced for what they were. But we had some gems such as Kasumi and Overlord I was happy to pay for, so I got over that and simply paid for what I thought was worth it. Now that we're entering the realm of story driven DLCs, I figured my disappointment in Bioware was settling down given how awesome the Shadow Broker seemed to be. I started becoming more positive and voicing that against BW naysayers on the forums. I was slowly regaining my fanboy status. By supporting the cosplayers going to PAX, BW was falling back into my favour.
But then we were on the recieving end of a media blackout. No information whatsoever on LOTSB. No extra screens to tide us over. No proposed release date. No extra sliver of information. Completely ignored. Which would be fine if we didn't have much of a wait. I mean, why bother spoiling it if you're going to release it in a week or a couple of days? But we've gone a month with no information except for a brief 'oh btw, it may not work on some european consoles kbai.' Leaving us in an uproar. I didn't fully commit myself to the idea that we'd get LOTSB today or even a release date since the total information blackout gave us no clue when to expect it, but I can't deny it made sense to mention it now. Given this thread is nearing 300 pages of anticipation, and gamescon is a big deal, surely they'd throw a bone out to their fans. At the very least a few screens or a little trailer. But what could be even worse than no information about LOTSB at gamescon? Confirmation about a PS3 port, that's what.
Exclusive content. For their loyal PS3 fanbase who have never played Mass Effect on their PS3. Robbing the PC and Xbox users blind of content they should rightfully recieve. I pray BW amend their phrase to suggest this bonus content is nothing more than a condensed version of ME1 for the sake of giving them the chance to make their own choices. If it's of the story-driven DLC form that loyal fans are getting cheated out of unless they buy themselves a PS3, I can't be responsible for my actions.
Now, I'm a stickler for resource management. Put something in and you need to take something out if you want to stick to the same deadline or value for money. Now we're talking about a whole other game to eat up resource time. And its just a port. ME3 will suffer if they still intend to keep their turnaround short. It's money making, I know that. I know the merits for a company to expand onto different platforms and I understand how console specific exclusives sell. But it's just another example of how EA is slowly and quietly strangling Bioware to death.
My standpoint is back to where it was at the beginning; Bioware has a hell of a lot of work cut out if it wants me to start to consider buying DLC again. Like a lot of people have already said here, we're fastly approaching the last straw.
Excellent post. Points put across brilliantly.
A+

Haha. I'm still holding out/hoping for this Thursday being the BW announcement of LoTSB, along with the DA2 public demo that I have already mentioned. Like others have said, it has been almost a month since they announced it and I'm sure Overlord had a pretty similar time frame between initial announcement and actual release.
