Whatever happened, Bioware are a bunch of chumps for letting EA buy them out.  We should get a pool going on how many years it takes for them to be shutdown by EA.

A Gamestop employee exclusive demo?  Beyond retarded.  EA says, "meh, we couldn't get a Signature Edition deal done with Steam (the largest online retailer) but we did smoke some crack and negotiated this deal!"  Isn't Gamestop the place that lives on it's used game sales, something EA abhors?!   How do these morons get high level executive jobs, nepotism?



I findthe GameStop exclusive pretty mystifying as well.

However, EA is a double edged sword. BioWare gets more money and better advertising for their games, but money comes with strings attached.

They got all that when they were independent, the only difference is back then they could sell the respective IP to the highest bidder rather then being cornered to the will of one publisher.

Earlier, in the big demo speculation thread, another poster posted a link to Gamespot, where a Gamespot poster claimed to be a Gamestop employee and said they got demo codes for Dragon Age 2. At the time I was skeptical - after all, why the hell would someone need a code to download a demo? But now it makes sense.
