Why the hate for facebook?
I can only speak for myself - their privacy policy and their misuse of member IP is disgusting. You want to give personal information away to a greedy corporation who'll do Christ-knows-what with it, go ahead.
Moderately?, 28th Feb counts approx 10 to 20 every 15 seconds, 28th feb clock reads approx 800,000, 1st of march and the clock miracously hits 1,000,000, they'll be turningFailbox wrote...
I won't complain if they do it, but I think people would notice that, whereas at least the demo one was only moderately obvious.

The counter was not getting real time updates from all available download sources. It is entirely possible that the 800k was solely the number of PC downloads from the Bioware site. The sudden jump was them adding in numbers from some other source(either PS3, 360, other PC download locations, or some combination of those).Teclo wrote...
Yeah, I hate to be so cynical all the time, but I saw the download count yesterday or the day before on another site I hang out on and it was a few hundred thousand short of a million. Everyone was half-joking, half-serious that it would magically go up to over a million by the end. People were also saying it had relatively low downloads for a free demo, but then there was the counterpoint made (that people agreed with) that (a) it only counts if the person is logged into an EA account and (

For all we know, the counter could of been broken or not worked for a system. They were clearing off 300k - 400k downloads it seemed like every other night. So if it was broken, they could of just decided to let the hype build up and give us the items anyways at the last moment.

Everytime a post is loaded through facebook it counts as an impression. Liking or sharing something increases the number of impressions that a post recieves by sending it to your friends' feeds through your feed. Since impressions are counted by Facebook and the raw data is not provided to the group owner, a single person can give multiple impressions to a single post. When spammers are factored in, this promotion is pretty much a freebie.MaxBendu2 wrote...
I understand they are going for some kind of exponential thing, but um, it's just not going to work if they barely scratch 1000 likes on a post? Meh, I just don't see how impressions/shares work I guess? I don't use the share button at all.

They also said that they had to manually update the clock from other sites and the consoles, and the 28th was the day after a weekend. A weekend in which none of these manual updates happened because that person was not in the office. In fact, the time on the 28th when the clock was updated was just about right for someone coming in on Mountain Time and manually updating the count from weekend data.

You also know that they had complete control over the demo download counter? The could have made it say SAUSAGES if they wanted to, so any kind of metre we can see is irrelevant. And they're not going to avoid giving it out, that would be horrible PR. The whole reason that people are accusing Bioware of bumping up the supposed number of demo downloads at the end is because it would be embarassing for them if they didn't make it to one million and then had to say "No free DLC" to several hundred thousand people.Ploppy wrote...

Nope, there's no public data on the share/impressions numbers at all. If Bioware wants, they could get 5 million impression and half a million shares every day, then turn around and say "Sorry folks, didn't make it! But if you try again for another week, the book may still be yours!"
So no, I won't be participating in this.

This is a lot of sturm und drang over something kinda silly. Why does anyone care whether they really made the target number or just missed it or whatever? What's the big deal?

I'm far more interested in all the ways in which the demo made me worry about the game, and all the ways in which the demo made me look forward to the game.
