Failed analogy because for one, this isn't food; this is a game. You don't buy a game, spend 15 minutes eating it and that's that. This is the end of a series; three parts to a whole which has unfolded over the better part of five years. You have obviously failed to grasp the situation because you actually enjoyed the ending; that's fine. Those who hate the ending feel denied a huge piece to a proverbial puzzle; something crucial is missing from this 60-80 dollar puzzle that has been purchased, and by being denied that piece, didn't get their money's worth.HenchxNarf wrote...

Who the hell are you to determine whether another individual got what they wanted out of a product? Serious question.HenchxNarf wrote...

So, you completely beat the game, didn't like the ending and are now getting a refund? Sounds cheap to me.
Glad someone else said it first. You played the game, you got your money's worth, asking for a refund is just...dumb. And its a bad move on Amazon's part.
Because, as someone else said, its like going to a restaurant and ordering a meal. Eating it and then complaining about it and not paying for it.
You opened it, you played it, therefore you got your money's worth. Whether you like it or not, you don't deserve a refund if you finished the game. If you, say, played a few minutes and hated it, yeah maybe. But not if you played the entirety of the game and then decided it. That's cheap.

A respectable company would not offer a refund on a completely used product, end of story. It's like trying to return a pair of jeans you wore, washed, and shrunk, because they didn't fit anymore. Just doesn't happen.

I love Amazon (and bought my copy from them as well), which is why I am not going to return it and punish them for Bioware's failing to deliver on their boasts about the ending and their failure to adhere to their own established continuity. I'll be expressing my discontent by not purchasing anything else from Bioware or EA new.
I have very little faith that the endings will be altered in any manner, based on what little has been said, and their facebook/twitter comments only solidify that opinion for me. They will be "Discussing the ending," when enough people have played it. That tells me that they don't want to throw out too many spoilers yet because the game is still so new and lots of folks haven't gotten to the ending yet. Once they are comfy with spoilers, I suspect that they are going to give us the big reveal as to the thought behind what they did and why it should be accepted. I hope that I am wrong. I expect that I am not.

As long as you spend your refund on Amazon you don't punish them at all. It just gets passed up the chain of refunds.Anything I'm not sure about I buy from a supermarket, they are easy to get refunds from because they know that consumer protection trumps store policy. I always make it a point to spend that money at the same place of course.

Hm..good thing I got my CE on Amazon. I'll definitely return it next week if Bioware/EA keeps on keeping silent about this ending fiasco.
because the game didn't deliver what BioWare said it would? really, if you buy something due to deceptive advertising you would want your money back.HenchxNarf wrote...

Got my money's worth is a matter of opinion. Based on the amount of lies and bait and switch crap in this game, I simply disagree.
You played the whole game. Regardless if you liked it or not, you played it. Thus got your money's worth out of it.

Thats nice of them, but don't you think you perhaps should wait until the official Bioware response on the matter?. Just saying.

Do you HONESTLY think they'll do something about the ending? Every single interview I've seen from those involved in the development process insist the ending is exactly what they wanted, and are perfectly happy with it. So why would they change the ending (or add a new ending via DLC) if they (BioWare) are content with what they came up with?

-Why are you people so eager to prevent people to get refunds ?
No one is eager to prevent others from getting their refunds. It just seems cheap. Like eating the entire dinner and then telling your waitress it sucked and refusing to pay for it. Or going to watch a movie, sitting through the entire thing and then complaining about the ending and demanding your money back.

Because it might make financial sense to do so.

No, it's more like going to a resturant and eatting a four course meal, but telling the waiter the last couple bites tasted a little off and wanting the meal for free.

How so? Mass Effect 3 has already sold really well (judging by the numbers someone posted in another thread).
Not to mention "ill will" with fans doesn't seem to last long. How many people were upset by the direction of Dragon Age 2, to the point of saying they'd boycott future BioWare games? How'd that play out? I'd bet 90% of those fans bought ME3.
BioWare seems to be proud and content with the ending(s) they came up with. The only way they'd change that stance is if literally 90% of the fanbase never bought another BioWare product again. And I simply don't see that happening, even after this fiasco.

Don't bother trying to argue logic with them.
