I see what this is all about: Release a token of scorn unto the community so they have to go through the motions of downloading just to find they have received nothing, then post an update which makes it look like you're fixing the "problem", meanwhile Xbox gamers have downloaded, played, and beaten aforementioned content exacerbating the already seething platform-biased enmity. Then sit back reclining comfortably on the perfectly functional installer you have had the entire time and watch the forum rage pile up, until the arbitrarily ordained moment you have selected to release the functional executable. In essence, you give the sheep two release dates: the first is when you release the ringer that will incite the acrimonious hype among the lesser fan community, just so they know where they stand; The second release date is random, as far as the PC users are concerned—leaving a period in which they can meditate for a spell and reflect on their own incredible lameness and suckery. Well trolled, BioWare.
But you overlooked one detail: it's a lot funnier when the content being withheld will actually restore to the game some of the dignity its predecessor possessed. But of course all of that was stripped away in favor of turning the sequel into Gears of W'hore, and having been aware of that for some time, I personally wasn't expecting much. All you've done is bring hostility down on your indolent heads.
I may have no spine. I may have already paid for this. I may continue to download whatever empty calories and icing you choose to market in the future, no matter how exorbitantly priced. Any threats I might make would just be hollow. But there are only so many times you can disrespect a community before they give up on your vain attempts to round out your unfinished
action RPG,
third-person shooter, hallway-strolling, button-pushing digital young adult novella. You might think you don't need my money. Why would you? I'm just a pirating, rage-posting, PC-having stooge. But I think you'd miss that extra cash if it weren't there. Then how would you pay for all the blue hookers and blow? You'd have to make due with just the blue hookers. And what are blue hookers without blow? Nothing. That's what. Absolutely. Nothing. And that's what I think of you, right now. You're all doodoo heads and I do not like you very much.
So basically . . . I haven't the balls to abjure BioWare like I should. I don't have the deadness of spirit to admit to myself that Mass Effect will never be the free-roaming, legitimately choice-based role-playing extravaganza (with more maintenance and customization mechanics) that I want it to be.
But I hope someone out there does.
