Okay someone has to help me sort this out.
Awakening comes with that 2/1/11 card.
Nothing was said about it except "we have something planned on that date". Was it?
I know there was speculation about what that might be- demo, release, magic ponies....But I don't remember anything being said- correct me if I am wrong.
Now everyone is upset, and getting banned and ranting. And those scratching their head asking "what just happened" are "fanbois".
I am so confused.
This was promised. among others

Dragon Age 2 is NOT released in August. There is a supercool trailer
coming in August, but DA2 will NOT be out in August (somewhere I can
hear Mike Laidlaw and teh Dev team having heart attacks thinking of
launching in a month).
The February date is a promise of
something cool, but not necessarily the launch of DA2. You'll just have
to wait and see what we come up with.

He promised something cool and gave us something supremely uncool.

Lets be perfectly fair that was an obivous screwup, even if a demo had been released today.

So, the Awakening card was an announcement to hype us up for an announcement of something announced several weeks ago, for a product already available.
I am so psyched.
It obviously worked for a crapload of other people. They are definitely "psyched". Whether it was their intent or not this definitely had people talking about DA2.

Plus a newsletter saying a demo was comming and hours of speculation. A simple no from Bioware would have been nice. I don't know, this just seems like a really ****ty way to treat potential customers.

But they could have said somthing about it. So EA sends a Newsletter saying that a Demo is out now and Bioware say nothing about it at all.Shepard N7 wrote...

It tickles me that people have the nerve to think that they are entitled to an apology from Bioware because of something so trivial.
Not only something so trivial, but something that BioWare had nothing to do with! The newsletters came from EA.
When Micro$oft gave an early releasedate for HALO 3, Bungie was quick to tell the fans that the date was not right because they did not whant to dissapoint the fans.
But EA releaser info about a Demo and about something big happening 1 Feb 2011 and Bioware say nothing? Exept hinting that they have some tricks planed for that date.

We need a group dedicated to those individuals who are addicted to the forums. Call it rehab or something.
I have 25+ days to wait for an item that is the biggest purchase for a game that I have ever made. Am I excited about this game...you tell me.

People who claim to feel "betrayed' or "lied to" need to get off of their high horse and stop believing that they have some sort of divine right to a demo or something from BioWare. They told us that there would be an announcement today, and there was. The employees of BioWare said absolutely NOTHING about a demo, yet you all convinced yourselves that you were getting one and now you feel like you deserve one for no other reason. BioWare owes us nothing. They did not lie to us. They did not betray us in any form of the word. They delivered on exactly what they promised us, no more and no less. To all of those of you who think what you got wasn't good enough, deal with it you ingrates.
Most of the current rage is not about the demo but the lack of the awesome stuff that was supposed to happen today.

While I agree that people are overreacting, I think that an apology would be appropriate. Bioware hinted that something big was going to happen today more than once. And in the end, they just announced old news. So yeah, I think that there was enough of a genuine letdown to merit an apology for that.
But then, I'm an apologetic person.
An apology? For what? Earlier, when there was speculation from the banners, I could understand an “oops, our bad! Banners were a mistake.” But to come out and make an official apology? Jeez, it isn’t like they sold inside secrets.

Between the countdown timer and the "epic community event" which ended up being the bazaar and their "major annoucement" at the VGA's which was just a confirmation to what we already knew, why would anyone talk BioWare's word that they have "something big" coming?

I don't give a **** about the demo. I'm mad that this announcement was a freaking Facebook game that everyone knew about. Damn, I would have been satisfied if there was just another dev diary.

So what else is one supposed to think? That beta for an already announced facebook game is going to continue? Is that worth hinting at a year in advance? Bioware should have taken that into consideration.Sylvius the Mad wrote...
One could assume that, but like all assumptions it would simply be your own invention.Blacklash93 wrote...
One would assume it was hinting toward something significant. Or at least pleasing. Why else package it with the game?
When you make a card teasing something a year in advance, it's made with the fact that people are going to expect something significant in mind. Fans know this and thus get excited.
They got the hype rolling for nothing.

Come on, it could have happened: something big was promised and what was released is anything but big in my opinion.

On Topic: Lol great stuff....right? Oh well, at least they didn't announce that the release date was being pushed back until August or something like that.
Off topic: Psych is a great tv show.

They promoted the speculation of a trivial detail and instead of going into a converation over how we were upset, they've been acting elitest and have called us all melodramatic whiners.
They can feel the heat of my rage until the cows come home.
