Go to a restaurant, ordered a 5 course dinner.

All is good, enjoyed the food, love the food.

Oh no, come desert time, the desert is not what was advertised! Bug ice-cream!!! THIS IS NOT DESERT!

Declare all the food sux, the entire dinner sux. Demand a refund. Hold restaurant owner hostage, threaten to burn down the restaurant.

Drive around neighborhood day and night announcing their discontent through loud speaker.

Seriously... businesses are better off without such customers. Yeah, might hurt a little for a while but better off in the long run.


Not quite. This is more like going to a steakhouse, ordering a steak and then as you're cutting into the very last of the steak,  you pull the meat apart to reveal a used condom that somehow managed to make its way in there, and then complaining about it.

But hey, who am I to refute hypocrisy. I mean, after all, nothing's more hilarious than seeing people overreact whilst accusing other people of overreacting.

If you are right, it it were a used condom in your meal, sue them. Sue Bioware. Bring them to court and prove that they did not deliver.

Or is the US and UK now going with "Guilty until proven innocent?"

Fact is, like it or not Amazon is just tired of ppl asking for refund over desert.

You ppl are spamming and hijacking the forums and are acting like terrorist. There is a good reason the governments of the world do not bow to terrorist nor entertain their demands.

Mass Effect 3's price has been dropped down to $43.49 on the amazon.ca site.


Just checked the American Amazon, still $59.99 for the PC version thru EA and Amazon... though I could have sworn it was cheaper a couple of weeks ago.

Also, and I don't understand this.... the console versions are cheaper for some reason, they are both $49.99.

EDIT

Gamestop is also at $49.99, but for all 3 versions....


It's about stock ordered vs stock sold.
Amazon have a high turnover so warehouse space is sometimes more costly than just shoveling stuff out at a loss.

Again, ashwind, hyperbole and overreaction. 'Terrorist'? Really? And you call the people complaining extreme.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... calm down. Now granted there will always be bad apples, not everyone is acting as evil as you claim. Most discussions have been civil, otherwise I would imagine they would close the forums entirely.

Now you can add to the discussion or leave simple as that, adding more hate into the equation solves nothing.

Nice one Bioware/EA. :D


Finland though?


Problem with Finland? In UK sales charts last time I checked it was second only beat for top rank by another EA title fifa12. Last time I checked US charts it was still first though that was a week ago now. EA seem to be doing very well globally right now regarding their titles. Either top spots, top 3 or more on most if not all charts. Good news for EA and good for Bioware being listed in the charts still near the top which would ideally mean more investment into the franchise later. Some positive light against the negativity.


This is why you get the responses you get.  I told you that you needed to go look at EA's quarterlies,  instead you went searching for anything that you could try to spin into "EA's doing just great!".  Since it's clear you're not going to actually go and do research,  I'm forced to tell you exactly how great EA is doing.

In the holiday quarter...(When you earlier claimed they made back TOR's investment)

EA sold 10 million copies of Battlefield 3
2 million copies of The Old Repulbic
Had residual sales of NFL and FIFA

and posted a 270 million dollar loss.

Honestly,  at this point,  it looks like you try very hard to find anything that you can use to support your desire for EA to be doing incredible,  and actively try to avoid anything you know will state fact that it isn't.  For reference,  if over 12 million sales generates a quarter-billion loss,  less than 3.8 million in ME3 copies didn't do anything significant.


If EA loses it's sports liscence they are toast. Of course knowing this they can be charged through the nose to keep it. This is what many people don't realise about EAs big names. EA gets only a slice of a profits especially in regards to sports,TOR etc.

Dude, really, chill out and avoid out of the line comments, you are going way to far making this analogy and it is a lack of respect for those who actually suffered from it.

Dude, I do not like the ending myself but I am suffering becasue every thread regardless of topic will be hijacked.

If people who want to express their dislike for the ending and press Bioware into doing something about it keep to a few threads instead of spamming all over the forums EVEN on multi-player section. They will not find so much resistant in BSN. Any other thread get buried in seconds because of this.

If they want me to respect them, they will have to start by respecting the community and not go to every freaking section, every freaking post to preach and whine about it.

If they want others to suffer because they are suffering, well, game on.

In this thread it is applicable to discuss the game as bad/good, though. The stopping by amazon.uk to sell the game may indeed be caused by the endings being ineptly done.

Wow, you are what's wrong with this world.

And you arguments sucks. A desert is something seperate. The ending and everything else is part of the full game that was purchased after missinformation and marketing lies.
And if you get bug ice cream after ordering a strawberry sorbet you have every right to complain.

I wanna know how 'overwhelming number of likeminded people' translates to 'hijacking spammers'.

But the game is 1 meal. Not 5.


Actually it was the third part of a 3 course meal. ;)

But from what I've seen his comparison still sucks.

He should have made it that the customer demanded the third meal (dessert, if you will) to be remade as promised, and gets pissed when the resturant refuses. With no other optinos being offered by the resturant, the customer demands his money back for the third meal and/or takes it to relevant authorities that the resturant mis-serviced him.

The hostage thingie and burning I have no idea where he got from, but I would take a wild stab in the dark and pin it on a vivid imagination of him/her.

Are we doing food analogies ?

Ummm...lets see.

Mass Effect 3 like eating a layer a cake and then finiding out the final layer is made of excrement. You complain only to be told that you clearly lack the taste buds to appreciate the taste of excrement.

Just a few angry people have complained about theit with not as described ticked, that have likely triggered an automated computer warning message the product until someone at amazon ticks a box.

As for not being able to buy it its only the Xbox version that you can buy from Amazon.co.uk, for what ever reason.

Not to mention the recipe containing a last decent layer of bliss, as revealed in a leak from one of the chefs.

Only for you to hear about the master chefs changing that part of the recipe to something else because of the leak, and then experiencing for yourself it is in fact excrement in the last layer when trying out the cake.

So apparently complaining about a product you don't like and recommending people not to buy it is being evil. We should throw all critics into the brig, how dare they not buy what their corporate overlords demand!

I really don't understand these thread haters... All they do is pushing the thread to be on top again. If you don't want to discuss it - leave it. Simple as that.

On topic: I believe Amazon reflects what the community or let's save the majority of the community feels. If the developers insist on their art and therefore choose their own high moral grounds over what the biggest part of the customers want, well then they have to also proudly face the consequences.

The huge amazon refund wave is only one them. The fans are "clarifying" their own "conclusion"...

What consequence would that be? The message is gone away and all versions back to how they should be meaning being sold again by Amazon. I guess once a human saw it, the common sense took precedent over the automated message.

:P
