True, but it's a bioware game! That deseves extra hyping. ;) lol


I want to get list of Gamestop employer names so I can try my persuasion skills on them xD

(That was a joke. Signature Edition is the first version of DA2 I install to my computer.)


In the old days it would had been like this:

- Heya!
- Hi!
- Sup, any new games?
- lol y, got a code from BioWare
- ?
- Demo of DA2
- Really? Lol let me see pls.
- Here
- Ok cool!

We are melodramatic crybabies, as a whole. Personally I get that way sometimes and frankly it's not the insult your making it out to be. It's not like Gaider even holds it against any of us, he understands the impulse but that doesn't mean he's going to bow to it.

Anyways this thread has been fun. So many of the "RAEGERS" were obviously screwing around earlier that it's funny to see others totally missing the humor. Of course the real ragers don't help matters....

Now people not bothering to read the OP and asking stupid questions when I bothered to edit it and keep it up to date.. RAEG!

And yet there is no idle conversation over the issue at all, only reminders to watch our language.
It's almost impossible to feel strongly over what he said if that's the only developer response we've gotten over it.
I'd prefer a conversation thread where they would admit that they were even a small amount at fault and then they can say that the majority of us did blow it out of proportion. (whcih most of us did)
I'm more frustrated over how they dealt with the issue as a whole, other than any lack of a demo.


Except they stated last night that they didnt tlak about it, because they had nothing to say, and then indirectly hinted that its because that CAN'T say anything, probably due to a NDA. Yeah this thing is a mess, but if a NDA is the reason why communication got royally screwed up, Im not gonna hold it against them.

Plus they;re devs, not marketers.

I'm most upset with the reaction from Gaider. (Lead Writer)
Which is where my ninja rage comes from.Image IPB


It's not upsetting if it is the truth. You cant honestly read this thread and say we ARN'T melodramatic crybabies. Personally, i dont mind Dev's having a bit of snark if the populace is incapable of respect.

1.) He's not allowed to talk about it at this point.
2.) It's not his job.  Any interacting the Lead Writer does on the forums is by choice and if often done in his free, spare time. Be thankful you get anything.
3.)Those whose job it is to talk about such things are currently not allowed to despite being aware of it.

Be patient.  None of us here is worth a reprimand/getting fired (possible but not realy going to happen)


I should be thankful for being called a melodramatic crybaby for feeling upset?

Gaider is awesome (my recent transactions at the bank say so), but he's no Chuck Norris

I'm not asking for a reveal, I'm not asking for a demo, I'm not even asking for Lady Hawke.
I'm just asking them to treat there fan's like they say they do in the paper's.

I'm not sure what you expect anyone to say at this point. Gaider's comment, which you attest was on his personal profile, wasn't directed at you.
It was directed at the situation. Yes people were crying and screaming bloody murder. People spammed new threads just to yell about how much they hated bioware for not giving them a demo. One jerk made about 30 different accounts just to harass John Epler.
So i'm sorry, nothing Gaider said was inflammetory, it was true.

I'll say that we are all little tiny sparks that created a firestorm of rage.

You have to admit that is absolutly bogus that the only reaction they'll give us is emasculating.
Finally, for the people who keep popping up the "they can't say anything" post, you can't honestly expect me to believe that they need company approval to be at least a little understanding.

But even if it was blown out of proportion, doesn't it make it worse that they're being so dismissive? The fan reaction might have been excessive, but that doesn't mean that there was no wrong done, you know? By saying we're crybabies they are completely dismiss our feelings. It's more shoving us under the rug.

Again, note that I'm saying that this is the only reaction we have been given towards our frustration.
Once somebody else says anything, I'll be sure to change my tune.

Again, show me where he specifically called you or anyone a "melodramatic crybaby"

what his status (that you pointed me to) says is

"melodrama is to the internet what pumpkin is to pie."

1) no part of that sentence is referring to any individual or group of individuals.
2) if you want to be literal about it, he's saying that like pumkin is one of many types of pie, melodrama is one of the many things that can be found on the internet
3) It's freaking true!

he could have said "There is porn on the internet," would you then take that to mean that you are a degenerate porn addict for being on the internet?

The thing is, they DID come in last night and were understanding. They spoke reasonably. Just, its now 20 pages back so no one is going to read them. They just cant directly address the situation like everyone wants.

Is that now a propaganda poster about how the evil capitalist Bioware lets its favourites play the demo while the betrayed proletariat cries and withers without any information, eye-candy or demos?

There is no doubt in my mind that he was talking about this thread, as at least someone should be.

Edit: Again check his comments on his own recent postings for the other half of my point.

Dunno from where you get those words "evil" and "betrayed" when it is fans who keep up the hype while the game is developed and after the game is relased market it better than than some single game shop chain - yet get a ****slap.

In this thread people with ridiculous banners lamenting a date when BioWare announced a facebook game with stupid memes outraged at being called melodramatic crybabies



Cognitive dissonance much?

Oh, ok. as long as we're clear that you're mad about what you think he meant (without any evidence indicating what, specifically, he was talking about). in that case i'm not going to bother arguing.

and for the record, i think Bioware's marketing/PR team handled yesterday exceptionally poorly, but that has nothing to do with the the devs who choose to participate in these forums.

stupid confusing quotes Image IPB
