I do have time to post this because I'm waiting for funding to come through on a documentary I'll likely be doing for someone like PBS. I've got some down time.
I didn't mean it negatively. Your posts are very well constructed and enjoyable to read.
Yes, I do believe that they realize the capacity of the error simply based on the apparent evidence. **** went down and the implications are unpleasent (Prices drops! Price drops everywhere!).
I'm sure they see it, I just don't know whether they believe it's their fault, or whether they just feel unjustly targeted by a "vocal minority" as they undoubtedly still see us. As for the price drops, eh, they sold like 3 million copies, which is undoubtedly the bulk they will sell, so I don't know that they really care about price drops all that much.
Yes, I do believe that this will hang over Casey Hudson's head in some capacity. Why? Because as you proably already know gamers don't forger being slighted nor do they foget peoples names. People are going to be wary of anything that has Mr. Hudson's name on it. That's a fact. I've seen people talk about it on the forum.
SOME gamers don't. Those gamers won't buy anything with EA(ware) on it anymore, so that already excludes Casey Hudson anyway. The large, large, large majority of potential EA customers has no clue who Casey Hudson is, and they'll happily buy the next dumbed-down EAware RPG which features even bigger swords, bigger t*ts, bigger 'splosions, and more of EA's "It's the new sh*t!" advertising.
That goddawful email comes from an EA email addres NOT a Bioware one. That tells me something.
What email are we talking about?
Hiding behind reviews scores is something that happens in MY line of work. Do you realize that they plaster that on bad movie too? Using words such as "Totally Rad" and "Jaw-Dropping".
I know, and it's again evidence of how badly Bioware has been tainted by EA's nonsense. Using the whole "ME3 has caused a bigger fan reaction than any other game in videogame history!" line as a positive was just disgusting. That said, Muzyka himself was quick to grab that "WE HAVE 75 PERFECT SCORES!" (thereby implying that those of us who didn't like it are a bunch of retards that don't understand his precious art.) So it's definitely something both groups like reaching for.
The people who were most interesed in buying Mass Effect 3 and haven't already are most likely aware of the nightmare that hangs over it now. We do not live in a dark age. Information spreads quickly. Anyone with a connection to the gaming world knows in some capacity about this debacle if they have been listening to the gaming news.
Yeah, but again, how many sales are they going to lose over it? I doubt it's going to be very many. on the flipside, EA does want the negative publicity to go away (Bad game sites! No more review copies for you!), so I guess that's why they caved on the EC DLC.
About my typo there, I too am human and make mistakes and typos are one of them. What I meant to say is that you don't have to "like" anyone or anything at Bioware but they deserve your respect as human being simply because all people have that right.
Sorry, didn't realize it was a typo. I just didn't really get the sentence. In the same vein, Bioware could have respected their customers by NOT lying to them before the game was released, but apparently that respect was too much to ask for? So where that's concerned, eh, they're not getting anything they didn't bring on themselves. *shrug*
Retour en haut
