What
they are purchasing is what is advertised. This they already know as
what they are entitled to because that is what Bioware/EA are selling
aka offering for them to purchase and they are paying for. I have paid
with my money, I see the world for what it is and base my purchases on
what is advertised for my money. What they advertised is what I got as
it the case with everyone else even if they won't admit it themselves or
think about it in a more mature manner, the 3.5million or more people
who may of bought it that is so your crusade is not going to do anything
as the fans got what they paid for and the numbers show they are
willing to pay for it.

Hence the further downfall
of gaming practices. This will set precedents for future publishers,
and they will keep pushing the boundaries to what is acceptable untill
they hit a break off point. It is a shame people cant see that, but by
then it will be too late. If 3.5 million people bought it, then like I
previously mentioned, "A fool and his money are soon to be parted".
[/quote]
Then
make a choice, either buy alternative games or switch developers to
hang around or change hobbies. If they are not making what you want to
buy or selling it in a way you wish to buy it then find another source
of entertainment. If most people are happy with how things are and
willing to buy aforementioned products (just take MW3 map packs for
example it's a truly vast business and source of income of which people
are willing to pay on masse), then clearly the only problem is that this
hobby is maybe no longer something for you. It certainly is not going
to change as shown in sales most people are willing to pay for such.

Are
you dumb or just pretending to be? Gaming is still a hobby I enjoy, the
issue here is bussiness practices. There are a ton of other developers
who do a much better job at WRPG (cdprojekt, obsidian) in my opinion and
dont use the same business practices. I can still choose to criticise
them for what they do, and it is your choice to not read my criticisms.
Just becasuse you happen to be an impetuous fanboy doesnt mean I shoud
agree with you. Just because a certain numer is agreeable with a certain
aspect doesnt mean everyone is. Do you comprehend what you are actually
reading or do you just like to blather out whatever you think is right,
or lack thereof.
[/quote]
Love the way you show your
true colours with regard to insults and name calling revealing the level
of maturity you approach responding to others. If your not interested
in what Bioware makes and as you have stated do not intend to buy their
game while also prefer CDPR or Obsidian then why are you here spouting
nonsense about something you have no intention of buying in first place
on here. Feel free to hang out on CDPR forums (I do too sometimes) if
they make what you like and Bioware do not. There are multiple
developers doing multiple things, if this one is not to your liking why
do you spend you time here bashing them while could be doing something
you enjoy more on a developer site you do intend to buy from and like
unless your here to bait and troll which given your tone and response in
your last reply I would be inclined to believe that being the case.
[/quote]
Are you supporting that Bioware lose a whole chunk of it's fanbase and consumers. That's just bad business.
[/quote]
Chunk?
These forums represent less than 1% of their actual fanbase and sales
and it is only a smaller percent of that complaining. He said he does
not intend to buy the product therefore he is not a customer but a
potential one. With regard to potential ones, you will never please
everyone all of the time and they do not make games for 'you' or 'me'
but everyone who 'likes' what they make. If you do not like what they
make it is more beneficial for you to buy something else you do enjoy
instead.

To all those complaining about Day 1 DLC:
It's been known for a
year now that the Collector's Edition would include an additional Squadmate
and Mission. It was to be assumed that that extra content would be made
available as DLC sooner or later, and if the extra goodies of the
Collector's Edition were offered for free later on, then there would be
little point in the Collector's Edition, now, would there?
So the
only valid complaint is that maybe you think 800 points are too
expensive in comparison to the content you get, but you can't complain
about it costing money in principle or about the extra content of the CE
- which people have paid extra for - being available to everyone from
day one.
[/quote]
you do realize that your comment implicates
that BW had at least knowlege of this dlc and, more than likely, was
working on it at the same time as the main game. Regardless if it was a
different team or not, this would, in most debates be seen as a direct
contradiction of statements made by BW regarding this day one content.
If you can advertise the content for sell for CE an not SE then you
anticipate that it will be completed before shipping. If you can
anticipate this then again, you probably are working on it during the
the main story to ensure that those that purcharsed CE's will have the
content that was promised. Now this wouldn't be a huge problem or deal
if it was handled like BF3 where the content wasn't finished but
available for DL for free after finished.
[/quote]
Making the
DLC free would silence the compaints, but would raise a whole new brood
from the people who bought Collector's Editions and have suddenly been
cheated out of the extra money they paid to have content that is
suddenly free.
[/quote]
Yeah because those books and toys don't matter. This is a terrible, terrible way to look at it.
[/quote]
No
lord makes sense. When you purchase CE and LE things, you come away
with the belief that only those how also purchased those CE and LE get
the content, it doesn't matter if it's a book, new appearance or a map.
If you see someone get the same or even a portion of the content, which
you paid for, free then yeah you feel slighted. It's like the same thing
that EPIC did that got them bad feedback from fans. Charging for map
pack (with the season pass) and then giving the maps out for free not
even 2 months later.
If you want to argue with the case of
content, it's not about the content being given for free it's the fact
that you're offering that content to those that didn't pay for it, free
[/quote]
The books and toys don't really matter. You paid extra for them, fine, you get them. Now being told that you're only buying 90% of the game and that you'll have pay 10$ for the other 10% is a horrible buisness practice.

[/quote]
And books and toys are related to this how? I bougth the collectors edition, so I paid extra for the DLC to come with it. If they make the DLC free to silence all of the complaints, where does that leave me? High and dry.
[/quote]
You paid extra for those books and toys. Now people who didn't are being punished in the actual game. This is't some random re skinned weapon. This is a companion character the was purposley locked so people would be forced to pay for it to enjoy the full game.
[/quote]
As I'm pretty sure this has been stated before, the DLC isn't a major part of the game, it's OPTIONAL. And I highly doubt it amounts to 10% of the whole game. That's way blown out of proportion.
Also, I didn't even know about any books or toys. I'm only concerned about the software.
[/quote]
Trying to treat your customers like walking money tree's and then
becoming hostile dicks when they're actually intelligent about their
purchase is going full retard on such a level somewhere in the universe a
entire galaxy dies.
And so is EVERY other person that is raging.
[/quote]
I never said it was right, but you have the option to say no. Me, if it's something I like enough, I'll pay a little extra to get the most out of it.
I don't have a job, am usually busy with college, and what little I have in my bank account isn't moving, but when it comes to my free time, if I want it bad enough, I'll pay for it.
[/quote]
Yeah, people wanted ME3 bad. but then they cut off a chunk and asked you to buy more. They added cost not value.
