 Wow, talk about tricking people in to buying your stuff... It's like Bioware/EA are like con-artists. Except they con people legally.

Welcome to the world of advertising. I suppose you believe your shampoo does what it claims to do.

No but I doubt my shampoo will try to spin something like, the possibility of an allegeric reaction by saying,

" some people are saying that nothing has created a greater reaction to their scalp then clean and clear shampoo"

Theirs a point where it becomes deciteful and a thinly vieled lie rather then advertising. 

What happened to the 'buyer beware' axiom? When the shampoo claims to provoke a reaction in many people, the rational thing is to find out what that reaction is, rather than think "it must be amazing then" and rush off to buy a carton full of Shampoo bottles.

Dude stop nut-hugging BioWare like seriously they fuked up and now they are in damage control what do you not understand about that?

Really? Thinking that there's nothing ethically wrong with that email is nut-hugging?

I'd like to see them burn for this. They can comfort themselves by whispering "artistic integrity" to themselves while they slowly sink in their glorious ship. They won't go out with a bang, but a whimper.

Oh the Irony of all this going down just around the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Bioware, you truly we're supposed to be the "unsinkable" company.

I agree with you OP.

Why send out an email like that at this time like seriously do they have baboons working over at there PR department? They know alot of fans are pissed off right now and will be angry with whatever they do. Just send out a newsletter stating what they need to say not "hey look 75 perfect scores! fk all you fans".

[Clayless]

No offense but this thread is disgusting and I'm glad you're done with Bioware.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

No, they must be remembered as an example of what not to do.

They have the right to defend their own game. Why get offended by this? Many people just laugh it off with "LOL EA IS A TROLL". It seems that every PR statement that is not an apology is percieved by many to be an insult. If you keep feeling insulted, maybe it's time to stop being so hypersensitive!

[Infinityphoenix]

I guess PR is in "Any publicity is good publicity" mode. Next they'll be advertising their lowered prices amongst retailers...

Remember remember the sixth of march, the mass effect ending and fall. For I can think of no reason why the mass effect ending should ever... be forgot.

I did cringe when I saw that email. I'm not going to say they should burn and be destroyed by this but if they dont make some serious changes then well... It probly wont be a very bright future for Bioware.

Really, in the end we all lose. Fans lose faith and trust in a company they once held dear. EA gets voted worst company in America. And Bioware due to lack of sales could eventually be the next developer to be dissolved by EA. So yea, Bioware has made this suck for eveyone it seems.

With a title like that this thread deserves to be locked.

My immediate reaction was lol what a bunch of idiots. But I can see why people could be angry it seems like a kicking someone where there down sort of thing.

A new and scummy attempt, by a now nefariously scummy company, to try and save sales admist the damage the ending backlash caused.  This isn't a personal attack, it's a valid consumer opinion.  A consumer who feels trolled by a company he's invested time and money into via purchasing product.   This undid the bread breaking I feel Bioware was offering me with the Extended DLC.  This wounded my severely damaged, then moderately repaired opinion as a consumer.

As I read in one of the many many articles about the ending...

"Mass Effect has gone from being a classic to being a case study"

It's sad but true

[howieloader]

 I was angry, but was willing to keep an open mind about Bioware... that is, until this... Then I said "LOLOL, I'll be at your funeral..."

why is this thread rated 5 stars? yes, bioware handled the endings pretty badly, and honestly, for me, they no longer have the benefit of the doubt when it comes to game development..

but saying that they deserve to go under and 'be forgotten' is a bit melodramatic dont you think?

what about companies like monsanto and wal-mart? THOSE are companies that deserve to go under and be forgotten. not a VIDEO GAME company like bioware.

It's not mutually exclusive, you know.

?

how can you even begin to compare what wal-mart and monsanto do to bioware??  they are like not even in the same stratosphere lol..

AT MOST bioware is guilty of misleading their fans with positive spin.. and honestly thats a stretch..  95% of ME3 is a masterpiece.. its only the last few minutes that are in question.

monsanto is arguably guilty of playing god (genetically engineering the food supply to a large degree), ruining countless lives of hard working farmers across the country (just ask any farmer in the mid-west), monopolising the soy market, etc

wal-mart is guilty of price gauging, destroying entire rural communities, neglecting their employees, and other stuff..

yeah, i think i can excuse bioware for marketing their game poorly and downplaying the ending (cause i will agree bioware did exactly that)..

so please stop with the 'they deserve to die and be forgotten' argument..

first world problem FTL..

Cry me a river **********. ME3 was amazing. They are allowed to say whatever they want about it.
