some (users) complained that they weren't aware of previous releases... so, this time, they (BioWare) made sure that none missed

edit: yupp, totally unaware... there still are people who weren't aware of the Normandy... and she should have already been on everyone's mouth.

I guess they should have checked the forums more often if they weren't aware :-P

I'm with Bioevil on this...I'm not entirely sure of what the point of advertising this elsewhere was. This was guaranteed to sell out within half an hour to begin with...so all this did was make it even harder for the people who already wanted it by adding in a bunch of people that might otherwise never have even known it existed.


What right do you have over those other people? Maybe they barely frequent the forum but spend twice as much on Bioware products as you do. In that case, I'd say they deserved to know.

the "right" that I have is that I put forth the effort to make sure I know about what's coming up.

Your argument is just totally absurd. Try running your own company someday and basing your sales off the people who "put forth the effort" to find out what you're selling.:lol:

talk about absurd arguements...they would still sell all of these either way, so attacking it from the whole "business" standpoint is moot.

Right, so if it's not about selling them all, what is it about? Oh right, servicing the fans. And since not all fans are on the forums constantly watching for new things, they service the fans via Facebook, where they have a large following.

I like the Facebook updates, would not have got my Normandy Lithograph if not for them posting it on the ME2 page, don't always have the time to search the forums for new things.



That being said though most people on Facebook just troll on most announcements, especially regarding new items in the store. These character lithos for example, most comments are along the lines of "What a waste, we don't want these we want DLC.", "What a cash grab, too expensive." or "Announce ME3 already".



As long as the people who really want them are able to get them, myself included, I'm happy. I would like to see a one per person limit though. There's already a listing on ebay for the 3 pack of character lithos, when you think of those that almost or did miss out on the pre-sales today it's very unfortunate.
