i'm wondering what their contracts with writers say. I mean, Dietz names three people in his acknowledgement. Hudson, Walters and Pasternak. Dietz also claims in his letter that he got his outline confirmed and once a first draft was submitted, Bioware reviewed it line by line. Now if these three people are named in the acknowledgement, one could assume they have been his main contacts in this process. So in all of this, not only did Dietz write it, but at least three people at Bioware screwed this up, two of them being involved with the Mass Effect universe in a way where you'd expect them to KNOW their deal. So what the hell happened? I mean, sure, things can be screwed up, it happens. At least own up to the fact that it happened. Can it be that hard?
There is also possibility that these three pesone in acknowledgement are simply reffered only because it's decorum. Yes, someone must read this book and send it to print but not necesseraly all these three people.
Wether the Dev team had some inlfuence or not there is no denying that someone is gonna come out looking redfaced. I think we should do what I have done since I Saw Episode 1 which is to deny that film even existed let alone that it's part of star wars lore

News from the front :
From reading various reactions it seems at this point many still think that we whining about minor "Lore" Errors
Maybe we need to bring to light more just sheer writing errors of the book as well.

I'm telling, a re-order of the doc is needed. Possibly make the font bigger on the major errors, too.

So I just checked Mac Walter Twitter account this morning about a fan asking a two part question if Conviction and Deception is canon and still no response from Bioware about Deception.
I think they know if they say it's canon their probably WILL be a s*** storm of insermountable odds.

just imagine the uber-boss having a major fit over that "WHO EFFED THIS UP?" and the dead silence that follows because all of a sudden everyone is extremely busy with their fingernails xD

I honestly don't care if its canon or not. I believe the overall story and plot is everything else, well you know. I'm just surprised that Bioware is pretending right now like they never heard of this thing. Seriously ask any Bioware Employee right now about Deception and I bet they will ignore your question.

You'll never be able to convince them, no matter what you do. Only way to change their minds is to make them read the previous three novels and hope they LIKE them-
What we have that they lack is PERSPECTIVE.

What they lack is brains for doing something other than yelling and swearing at people for no reason in their COD game. Goddammit.
Sorry, I'm a bad mood today.

Although...idk if anyone has ever mentioned this in their threads or not...Bioware got something wrong before during a convention. They claimed the Turians created the Genophage. When a fan tweeted them correcting them about the Salarian-Turian connection. The dev who answered said "idk about that...I think we'll have to lock ourselves in the sanctum and fight about that"....so...
Ha I laughed at that it was at gamescom right? Someone also misspelled Salarian and instead said Galarian. They should've given that guy credit who said Galarian because thats what their called in the french version. I hate these contest gimmicks
