Nothing you're saying makes any sense.
So you've said but you've failed to illustrate how or why? EC isn't going to make them any money (they are still giving it away I assume) and the damage has been done as far as sales go (EC won't change anyones mind about new Bioware stuff or DLC).

They messed up and are attempting to rectify it.
Yes, but they aren't going to bankrupt themselves or make any serious digs into their profits to do it. Neither EA or Bioware. That's my point, they aren't going to do anything big or anything to blow our minds because it's too expensive for something they won't see a return on. I don't spend thousands on advertising at the bottom of the ocean.

1) After 6 months people will either have burned out or moved on, nobody's going to care by the time the EC comes out.
2) Never meant to say it would be epilogue slides just that it wouldn't surprise me. Bioware doesn't gain anything from the EC, there's no profit in it and I guarantee you it won't sway anybody who's dead set on not buying DLC (nothing short of a completely different game would satisfy those people). So they don't make any money off the EC and it's effect on DLC sales will be negligible (good or not). From a strict cost-benefit standpoint I wouldn't be surprised if they just came out with epilogue cards because it's the lowest cost for something with 0 benefit.
1) you severely underestimate the passion of this fanbase
Perhaps you're right, we'll see.

2) I agree. And have been reiterating the fact the Bioware stands to gain no profit from the EC. And I would not be surprised if it were just a lousy attempt to justify the current endings....if they do that, then its a second failure. If they want to "clarify" failure, then they'll get the same result. However, just because Bioware isn't going to make a dime on the EC, doesn't mean than they don't have anything to lose. Something far more integral is at stake: the majority of their fanbase (yeah, the majority)
You're right and again I wasn't making any assertions as to what Bioware will do, just expressing that I'd not be surprised by some quick, cheap, cop out because there's numbers behind it. Keep in mind that EA is calling the shots as far as money goes, they may not be involved in the writing but they set the resources and time they have to work with, and EA has demonstrated in the past that they don't particularly care about the established fan bases of acquired properties. I'm willing to give Bioware the benefit of the doubt that they'll do the best they can with what they're given, but I don't expect EA to shell out much for this.
