I have been reading the posts here over the last week and have been interested in people putting their views about Bioware’s marketing campaign. I am not a regular commentator but I feel compelled at this point to say what I have to say. It appears a number have expressed their opinion that Bioware’s foray into using a social networking site was a case of marketing overreach. Spamming on Facebook is something that some people do not agree with. And some people think it is ok. I think this is fine and voicing opinions on a community forum is good. But I have been less than impressed with Bioware’s response to fans saying how they feel.
I think Chris Priestly blaming the fans for expressing their views on a community forum is just beyond the pale. I found his comments inflammatory and unworthy of a great gaming company. What happened to the maxim “the customer is always right”? Chris Priestly could have just acknowledged the fans opinions and be done with it.
This whole episode has left a sour taste in my mouth and has taken the gloss off the launch next week. I am no longer looking forward as much to the release.

Why? Did you ever doubt that they were going to "win" this one too? Just like they've "won" the demo stunt (with those 250.000 downloads in 2 hours)?

Really?

[flexxdk]

The priiize has been unlocked.

Jacob approves +20

Whoo~ I didn't exactly spam my buds either, but the sharing was done.

Bah, let the naysayers reap the rewards all they like. I'll gladly roll in the irony.

[CogKeeper]

I imagine they need to update it first.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but I'm curious... why should somebody who refused to participate, with a few of them saying that people who did participate were corporate tools, receive the (hypothetical) participation prize?

Because that's what happened with the demo.  And the FB comp was put up under the same terms.  If people who didn't download the demo get the first two tomes, why shouldn't people who didn't participate in the FB promo get the third one?  The comps were not announced as a participation prize , which might have gone "recommend this game to X of your friends and we will give you, the recommender, a prize"; it was announced as  "these are the numbers you are aiming for; now go get them." 

Look, Bioware is obviously trying to see what WEb 2.0 marketing strategies will work, and what won't.  To do that, they are trying these publicity-DLC deals, and seeing how people react to them.  So the company gets vaulable information no matter what the reaction is.  Perhaps next time they'll use direct rather than stat based prize strategies.  Or not - those tend to have much lower uptake rates, historically. 

Also, you don't sound like a jerk.  I hope I don't either. 

[CihanSan]

WE DID IT!

[LPPrince]

We actually did it?

Christ, and I thought all the people who didn't take part would be the ones that unintentionally cost us the extra shares needed.

Niiiiiice.

[Cuthlan]

Cool.

And extra weirdness... as I was reading the updated first post, I didn't even realize that the DA2 commercial was on Comedy Central right infront of me.

[sonsonthebia07]

What about those of us that didn't complain but still refused to take part in the facebook stuff? :b

Anyways...yay.
