I really don't understand BW's PR stance, here. They should say something, anything. Leaving this to fester is a terrible idea.
Welcome to Corporate Arrogance.
Let's make sure to keep this civil and give Bioware the benefit of the doubt for now. That's the only way that the people in this thread will be taken seriously. I'm a fairly pessimistic person myself, but even I'd like to hold off on anything until we hear from them.
You have to remember: the game doesn't release in Japan until the 15th, which is the last place that's getting it. We'll probably hear something sometime after the 15th so just hold on a little longer.
"The ending isn't when you think it is" <-should have been said on page 2 by THE HEAD DEV.
That's all they would have to say. That doesn't spoil ANY OF THE STORY. Nor does it give away the ending.
The fact they haven't come out and said anything beyond "keep your saves" is beyond understanding. The "joke" went to far, the fanbase is getting pissed off.
Why should they (probably EA) listen, the fanbase will always "keep playing". Blizzard proved that with "Real ID on the forum", which was stopped only after their lawyers pointed out that under ESRB "T"-rating guidelines the company is
mandated by
Federal Law to use due-diligence in protecting the identity of minors. *laugh, but it's stated right on the ESRB website and yet Blizzard was going to go through with it*
And whatta ya know, after they said they'd put it on hold people renewed and/or kept playing and OMIGAWD, it blew over and no one brings it up.
And again with CCP and the Monocle Gate ****storm. They said sorry and people went back.
And it appears Funcom will do so with Secret World. So many said "i'll never buy a funcom product again" after AoC and Failcom's arrogant "there's nothing wrong with the game" statements.
In each instance, the Game Industry called the playerbase's bluff and won.
...When are you, the playerbase, going to get up and walk away from the table?
In the end Bioware could be saying "we should fix it" and EA just says "naaaah *rolls around in the money some more* So whens the next IP due out?"
