I have a couple of questions for Bioware concerning those banners, so I made a seperate thread for them.

The questions:

1) Why were those "Demo Out Now!" banners released? Was it a simple misunderstanding between Bioware and EA?

2)
Why were those banners so quietly edited fifteen hours later? Again,
was it to correct a simple misunderstanding? Why no announcement when
this happened?

3)Why was everyone "in the know" so quiet about those mysterious
banners? Why couldn't fans get an explanation? Was it because the Devs
honestly didn't know what was going on? Or if it's something
super-secret, could you at least say, "We can't discuss that right now?"

4) What exactly happened?

its official now

OK the official line is they don't comment on rumours, thats why they didn't deny it, but that strikes me as a stupid where there is some evidence that it was more than just a rumour.

I'm still absolutely positive that there will be a demo, but as I mentioned, I thought people were jumping their guns and getting hopes up for today.

Can't say I'm surprised that it wasn't today, too far away from release.


The demo is going to be out March 8!  David G said so ROFL

The only hammer to drop here would be the ban hammer...

Im sure you do not want Chris Priestly to use his favorite toy on some of your friendly forumites.

Watch them announce the demo at 11:59 pm tonight...then they would technically still have given us a demo on 2/1/11.

I would be laughing at this thread if this occurs.

I don't believe there will be any demo, something about this whole affair is not right, I think someone at Bioware or EA screwed the pooch and they are unable to deliver.

The same people yelling the loudest right now are the same ones that turned on the hype machine the past couple days about this supposed demo. Nothing but their assumptions and speculations to fuel the machine and now its BioWares fault...


When EA starts the rumor mill, EA or BioWare have some responsibility to handle the damage control.

Well I think if they released a demo later today, that would be unprofessional.

I think what they've done so far is professional enough. If there isn't a demo I don't see what's the big deal about why they can't simply confirm that, and if there is one (but not today) I don't see why they couldn't have said something to quell the hype a bit, but I respect that they chose not to and don't blame them for my own illusions. (well I didn't have my hopes up much to begin with)

You should change the name of the thread to demo / Feb. 1st trolling discusion. That way we wont risk getting locked.

From Stanley Woo in the other thread:
"Sorry, folks, but we don't comment on rumours."


...

I fail to see how it counts as a rumour? A EA newsletter specifically said "Demo out now".

I think it's some kind of oficial. They said, that they don't commend on rumours. If they haven't planning for a demo, Chris could say like this "Stop people with threads, we don't have a demo end of the line" Something like that. But they didn't commend about the demo topic. So i think ( logical ways) that they have a demo.

Yes, it came right from EA's own servers.
