WHAT???

Please tell me that is only the price for the preorder (that will include Collector's edition stuff) and that the regular price will be $50.

if you look at our forum's history, Fibrous, i think you'll find that people get rather attached to our games, and whenever they see a change to our supposed formula, they have no trouble letting us know that the old ways are the best ways and change is always the result of us selling out for profit and betraying our loyal fans who pay our salaries and whatnot.



Surprisingly, some people get so angry and hope we "correct" things that they wish us ill and hope we go out of business. it's funny how "loyalty" works for some of our haters and how convenient it is to turn it off whenever they disagree with a decision.



What I wholeheartedly support is for gamers to let us know when they disagree with something we do. We enjoy hearing feedback from our fans and gamers. We also enjoy hearing suggestions about what people would like to see, what people would prefer not to see, and suggest ways in which we can do better on the next project. Note that I specifically said "suggestion." Keep in mind that if you cannot tolerate a dissenting view, then your "suggestion" is anything but. If you cannot accept that we might disagree with you, your "suggestion" then becomes a sort of demand, doesn't it? and it's far more difficult for us to listen when you're making demands of us, like we're your employees or something.



So, suggestions awesome. Demands, not so much. And please, we're attracted to honey, not vinegar. Even if you vehemently disagree with us, please at least show us some common courtesy and respect, and leave the name-calling, threats, and armchair economist doomsaying out of the conversation. We love you guys, but man, sometimes it is very difficult to talk to y'all.



Thank you all for your support, constructive criticism, and suggestions, and let's keep it civil so this discussion can continue.

I'm not going to support $60 pc games like Call of Duty does. PC games are 10 dollars less to help stop pirating, but since it's not 10 dollars less, I think you know what you can expect even more now.

Please don't use the threat of piracy to encourage companies to lower prices. You probably don't like it when companies use piracy as an excuse for increased use of DRM or increased prices. Also, we are not discussing, condoning, or advocating software piracy here. Thank you.

I don't remember doing any of that.

That was a more general note to everyone, sorry.

Was that pointed towards me?  I admit I got waaaay off topic with some others there.. But I don't consider it doomsaying so much as rational observation, analysis and interpretation within historical context.. Perhaps some of the wording was a bit dramatic

Anyway, I'll try and refrain from spouting off about national economic issues on a game forum..

No worries, Revan312. It's more a comment to those talking about how this particular feature or that particular decision will cause an increase or decrease in sales, or how an individual's decision to buy or not buy the game will affect how many other potential customers, or other things like that. I'm reasonably certain that, at a much higher level than we talk about here, there are number-crunchers who take all this stuff into account before we start seeing prices in stores. I mean, after all that math, we gamers have the toughest job of all: deciding whether to buy the game at the price offered by a given retailer or not.

I do agree with you, however have you told some of your fourm moderators this? Respect, Honey, Courtesy? All that good jaz?

indeed, and if there is a Moderator who is treating community members discourteously, we would like to know about it. Please send a PM to any other Moderator or BioWarian if you have a dispute or complaint with one of our Moderators. If the complaint is with me or any other BioWarian, please contact Chris Priestly.

Hi all, i'm new to this game. I need to know if i buy this game would my money go to EA? i decided to boycott EA.
Also who to buy from where my money goes directly to developer?
Thanks,

Yes. Since BioWare is wholly owned by EA, part of your money for this game will go to EA, just as part will go to the retailer, the distribution company, the manufacturer, and whoever else had a hand in getting this game from our computers to your retailer's website, warehouse or store shelf.. Unfortunately, there is no way to give a company like BioWare your gaming dollars directly when purchasing one of our games. Sorry.

And yet it needs to be said. Let's try and keep the hostility to a bare minimum, if we can't completely remove it from the discussion, please.
