I don't think the "On/Off Campaign" will work. When I think of the campaign, I imagine a crowd of immature jerks in a room continually using the on/off light switch repeatedly This may get your attention at first, but then it becomes annoying.

Another excellent article that BIOWARE/EA should read.

I live in faith, thats all I can go by: I've yet to see any proof that they actually are.

Cool. Some pub for the protest. I wish he would republish comments by several of the lit and related profs on Forbes. 

BTW: Your link goes to page 2 of the article.

Come read about it and then decide. It may not work, but it can't hurt.

Have you actually read the article yourself?

It seems to me you didn't or you just did read it as you wanted to read it (as it is usually the case).

There's nothing in that article that is "bad" for Bioware/EA, at all. So the only possible deduction of why the allusion in your post is that you just read the title and imagined all things in your head and then pretended the article was about them.

Must be the automatism of "pretending" keeping in. Once it starts it is difficult to hold it :ph34r:

Seems to me, you haven't read it.

Of course it contains nothing outright bad - it's what I would call constructive.

Ok, then, I am in a good mood today and I want to give you this chance.

Let's hear what it is the "constructive criticism" (it is this you imply, isn't it?) to Bioware/EA in that article.

I am curious to hear what you will come up with, because, you know, that article is only praise (they should be proud of what the article says) for Bioware.

Please, take no offense.

But there are certain people I'm simply not interested in. And given your post record....

Ok, fine.

Please, take no offense, but if you try to prove someone wrong and then you back-up with "it is as I say, I have incommensurable proof of it but I'm too high for you to waste my time speaking of it" you will just do the figure of the codard (minimum) or the utterly pathetic (maximum).

If you weren't really interested (as you say, given my "posts' record") you would have neither started. Indifference shouldn't be backed up by hit and run tactis, or it's just false indifference.

No, I certainly don't take offense.

And I don't try to prove anything to someone who's always twisting and turning to avoid what's staring him in the face.

You win, if it makes you feel better.

I just asked to tell me what it is, because, sincerely, I cannot comprehend it. It is not sarcasm or similar, I just cannot get to what you refer to.

Then sincerely, if you refer to my other posts I never twist anything. In fact I am usually the only one not doing it just to have a point. You can have another opinion, but certainly you cannot accuse me of twisting things to my end, because I never do it.

Listen, stop playing these games with me. If you really didn't care you wouldn't continue posting and trying to have the last word.

In fact I never pretended to don't care (here or anywhere else).

I think the article as a whole is pretty accurate. Most of us seem to continue posting because we love Bioware and their games; we want to give them a chance to redeem themselves so we can continue to purchase their products.

And besides, isn't a rabid fanbase better than no fanbase at all?

This is going to hilariously backfire. Its going to expose just how few people there are who are dedicated to this cause. All its going to do is show EA/BioWare how small the subset of people who are that upset with the game are.

Am I upset? Yes. Would I like a better ending? Absolutely. Do I have better things to do than participate in some immature "protest" on a Saturday and Sunday? Hell yes.

Nothing really new to see here.

I don't get why this is an article that Bioware or EA should read.  They can read any of the 10 threads on the first page and get an idea of how things are going.

If you need a Forbes article to get through...then something is wrong.
