I have a simple question that should have a simple answer:

Whose decision was it not to have an optional or required HDD install for this game, when Origins, DA2, and ME2 all had sizable mandatory installs that kept my Blu-Ray Drive from constantly spinning, and what was the reasoning behind that decision?

I will accept silence as an answer, and that answer would be "It was a corporate/executive decision that we can't talk about."

I really don't understand why someone from BioWare doesn't make a sticky of across the board issues, system specific issues, and multiplayer issues they are aware of and working on. In regards to many things, silence is way worse than talking to us. Keeping a single, updated post for all to read seems a lot more respectable and caring than "We read these forums, etc... PM us if you want to know something"

[prazision]

Especially since I did PM this question to many employees and received no answer...

I reasonably expect the forthcoming patch to offer the option of installing the game on HDD. Among all other fixes of course.

I wish I had your optimism!

The weirdest thing of all is that the demo was essentially the entire game engine - it was the equivalent of the install for DA2, ME2, etc.

I wish I could mail my physical copy to EA and then download it for free.  I would have never bought the disc version if I knew it wouldn't have an install.

I wish I could get a refund for purchasing a buggy broken version of the game (PS3) that's not even being supported like 360 and PC are for community events from a company who is somehow unable/unwilling to be upfront with its customers regarding reasons for all the current issues with the game.

Same...  100% agree.

I actually got Gamestop to give me a refund for a new copy of Dragon Age 2 after BioWareEA admitted that the Isabel/Sebastien bug affected literally every copy of the game, in effect rendering it a defective product.

So I guess out of all the BioWareEA people allegedly reading this forum, not one of you can say "Hey, do you think we should maybe address this issue?"

[Bestyj669]

Replying to the customers might put their "artistic integrity" in danger ... at least that's my theory.

[Eudaemonium]

They should really patch in an install option. It would solve a lot of issues.

[prazision]

Well, it's been 4 days, so I'm going to assume what I said in my original post - that a lack of an answer means it was a business decision that the developer is legally unable to talk about.

This is hilarious.

[Valkyre4]

Making a post and answering for them yourself makes their life very easy actually... why should Bioware bother answering to you,  since you tell them that if they dont answer, you will assume they cant talk about it? lol...

Because I'm asking a very simple question.  Because BioWare used to be a company that interacted with its fans.  Because they still do interact with their fans that own a 360.

[Ajx-]

Should they make ME4?
Idk...

I feel like they should fix the last one first..

As do I. That's $80, wasted, sitting on a shelf...and the last money Bioware will see from me. <_<
