well this was unexpected! thanks bio!

Considering the mention of selling 1 million copies faster than they did with Origins, anyone calling this an act of desperation needs to learn to think and/or read more.

With that said, I already own Mass Effect 2, but this is an awesome gesture for new fans.

Confirmed - the ME2 code does work on a different EA account to the one you own DAII on.

Thank you EA/Bioware! 

Thank you for the confirmation.

Absolutely ridiculous.

The most you should feel really is apathy.  You haven't received or lost anything, and your situation hasn't changed at all since yesterday before this giveaway was announced.

You only feel that it is "unfair" because other people are being given a free game and you are not.  The mere knowledge of someone elses situation doesn't change your own, and since you never actually paid for the benefit you are not entitled to expect it just because others have been given it.

Anyway, I also have absolutely no use for this giveaway either, but I recognise the benefit for others in it and I am happy for them and don't feel that it is at all "unfair."

Definitely concur with you Ronin. I am not happy about DA2 and the direction, blah blah blah. BUT I do appreciate that Bioware is doing something nice for their fans. And I own ME2 Collectors edition for the PC.

Nice to know you are thinking of us, and I'm happy some folks who never tried ME2 can try the game!

And you're an idiot.

Pffft.  Having read your other post on this thread it becomes immediatley apparent who the idiot is.  If you are receiving as you put it, 75% of the game for free without the DLC which will then need to be paid for, you are still receiving something for free and are not obligated to buy any of the additional DLC.  Further you still have the other option to buy the retail game with the added DLC as you would have before the giveaway was even announced and spend the same amount of money as before on the "complete" game.  Therefore it's not like the situation of the consumer has gotten worse.

Unless of course you are stupid enough to end up paying more in the end then you otherwise would have, which judging by your post, you probably are.

Anyway, your criticism is the height of idiocy.

Free game, yeah right. They want the original serial number from Mass Effect 2, to activate the digital download. How many people honestly have said code, if they don't already have Mass Effect 2.

It's a nice gesture and all but I already own ME2 for PC. Maybe I can find a family member or friend who would be interested. Thanks anyway.

I have been more vocal than a lot of people about Bioware's direction and DA2 too recently but even I have to admit this is a good thing they have done or more exactly a smart thing because its not a only new customers, while it can be improved by adding the ability to download on the format you actually buy Bioware titles that is the only even slight complaint I could have about it. They made it backward compatable not a only new owners this took away my biggest argument from the start. The cerberus code is an optional extra if wish to buy or not even though I used to have a code and registered it on my PS3 version prior to selling so have no code for the PC one, this is still a dam nice (even if marketing ploy) for pre-existing customers who have bought DA2 etc and not ME2 or sold their copy like me.

Hi guys - I Have DA2 but my code is'nt working - As alot of you Guys already HAVE ME2 ill'd LOVE it if anyone could message me there code! I'd really appreciate it! Cheers guys

[xScirisx]

Question. Just to make sure..

I did redeem my code but it didn't pop up confirming nor did it start downloading. Help? o. O

I know there's the "it may take 72hrs." Should I contact EA now? Or wait 72hrs incase it doesn't pop up?

[Cybermortis]

Hey, this is something for nothing - and bare in mind that ME2 is STILL selling well.

It is no use to me, since I already have ME2, but I can and do appreciate the gesture.

Thank you Bioware.


Errm, someone want to get the smelling salts? I think a Dev just fainted reading that....

[Swordfishtrombone]

Seems that this isn't really a campaign to reward the most devoted fans, as the most devoted fans bought ME2 long ago, and have no use for a free download of the game. This is more of a bid to gain new fans, of people who maybe just bought DA2, or started with DA:O. Not that there's anything wrong with that in itself.

If Bioware would like to reward it's most loyal fans, at some point, a really nice idea, that would surely be met with a reduction in the hate in these forums, and maybe even grudging thanks from even the most vocal haters, would be a release of a free DLC that replaced some of the maps of caves and buildings with new, unique ones. Just an idea, though I would be (pleasantly) surpriced to see it come to a realization.

(And yes, I do like DA2, over all, it's a good game... just some aspects could have used more development time.)

I actually don't have MA2, so pretty chuffed about this.

Edit:  Forgot to say thank you.  Thank you, Bioware

I am a little disappointed as a loyal fan who has already purchased ME2 but I get what they are going for.
As was previously mentioned a little bone for the loyal fans that helped this company thrive would be a wise idea. The Witcher Enhanced was free to purchasers of the original, so why not do something similar? Make some DLC for DA:O free to DA:2 purchasers, or perhaps make the first DLC of DA2 free to people who had previously purchased ME2.

There is a lot you can do with this and believe me good loyalty rewards are appreciated. New fans see that treatment and it attracts them too.

Summary: Reward new fans only you get a few and you disgruntle a few current fans.
Reward loyal fans you get a happy loyal fanbase and other people see that and what to be part of it.

Its like dating, if you look like you need them you are less likely to get them, if you look like you don't need them but that they'd get great benefits from being with you then they tend to chase you instead. Think about it.

[AshleyS3]

Thanks Bioware, will check it out! I'm more into RPGs like the Dragon Age series but since I finished DAII might as well at least give this a chance.

[apoc_reg]

I can't believe people are complaining about a free game!! Ha the community never fails to amaze...!

[Amon Lau]

Darn now I got this error "Error: Too many attempts in a short period of time. Please try again later."
Guess I'll leave it for tomorrow and see if it works then...

are you reading the instructions properly? they want the black emporium code you get with da2, you then recive a code for me2 which you enter into eadm to d/l it.

which platform version(pc, ps3 or xbox) do you have? as couple of people have said they had trouble getting it to work, took several tries, so just keep trying otherwise contact ea cs.


this is pretty useless for me as I already have a collectors edition of me2 on the pc, got it when it first came out. I only have the dlc that were freee through the cerberaus network, not bought any of the other dlc so was trying to decide if I should get the ps3 as that has all the dlcs(bar the new one). buying the ps3 version or the dlcs for the pc will come out similar cost, only thing I wouldn't be able to use the me1(pc version) save.

Thanks, Bioware!

Funny. Lately I was thinking about purchasing ME2 to give it a try, and I've allways given up as it (honestly) doesn't have much appeal to me. And then you do something nice like this... :-)

[Statulos]

Well, I guess those of us that pre-ordered both games back then will just have to smile...

[blizzeh]

...such hate over something given for free? Not everyone drowns in money to afford to fit the description of a "loyal fan".

This was very unexpected in the best way possible, my thanks, Bioware! *tips hat off*

[huwie]

I've never played any of the ME games so this is great for me ... and arguably a shrewd move on EA/Bioware's part, because they might get a new franchise convert who will go on to buy the other games and DLC.

I do sympathise with those who already own it though.

[shaneho78]

Thanks Bioware for the gesture! Facepalm @ the ungrateful whiners in the General Discussion forum.

[Weisswurst]

Thanks, BW! I haven't tried ME yet either, looking forward to giving it a go. Will probably wait a week or so, give the servers a chance to stop melting though

[LeraG]

few questions please:

I followed the directions and while on EA Download manager it asked for the passcode and I put that in and hit next. The next screen asked for another code. So I typed in my game serial and it didn't accept it, so leaving the thing blank I hit next (I already downloaded and entered the DA2 game) So am I guessing it was asking for my game serial but since it was already in there all I had to do is leave it blank? It is downloaded now (mass effect 2) I've never played this game before...is it worth playing? I'm bad at shoot em up games. lol
