hello other black holers. im sure this as already been suggested but i would like to pitch the idea of an EA/Bioware boycot untill either a fix is released or an official announcement of a timeline is released. This would involve cancelling TOR accounts, not playing EA titles like Battlefield and Sports titles. and not seeing the mass effect movie in may. hopefully a fix doesnt take that long but i am not hopeful. Lets force EA and Bioware to take this problem seriously.
I'm not buying any more bioware products for sure. And why would I.
EA meh....thing is I knew EA sucked at CS when I bought the game...it's like blaming the sun for rising. It's up to the developing studio to fix things in that corp.
It's actually quite unfair to put the blame solely on BioWare, specifically because it's a publishing error - i.e; it's the clash between the EA login service and the Microsoft one, which is practically proved true due to the fact that the fix requires altering the .gpd file.
It's some what of an unforeseen error that no one could have predicted and If you wanna boycott BioWare and miss out on some of the greatest WRPGs that have graced our consoles and PCs in the past 20 years, then sure, be my guest, but I assure you neither BioWare or EA will care when 20 people skip out on purchasing products.
I will admit it should have fallen to either BioWare or EA to get a much more positive community message out - and/or to reply to our questions about the problem, but the problem's less than graceful handling can't be a reason to boycott a brilliant developer who delivered an immense WRPG space trilogy - nor is it a reason to file an FCC complaint or take them to court as others on the forum were suggesting.
Boycott is too strong a word. To me it's common sense. I bought a game. it's broken. it's not geting fixed. So no more buying games from that company.
I'm not writing letters or putting up billboards
As for your other point I know of no other EA game that has this issue so.....
*Also this isn't 2000 like I keep saying. Software no longer gets the, "Yeah it broken but it's COMPUTER stuff excuse it used too. There's nothing wrong with someone filing a complaint against a company that sold him a broken product. I myself just vote with my wallet as the saying goes.
