 If sales of the Leviathan DLC are disappointing, I fear that EA will misinterpret the reason for it. Many people here have said they will not buy it, usually because they think it won't change the endings or to send a message of disappoint to Bioware/EA over the endings to begin with. However, EA might look at the low sales numbers and think "That proves it! Single-player is out! Make everything multi-player from now on!" There've been many cases where publishers/developers see a declining video game franchise and try to reinvigorate it in ways that completely miss the reason it was declining. I fear the same may happen to ME if DLC sales drastically decline.

Yep, just look what EA did to Dead Space 3. They added $%*&ing co-op.

[KiwiQuiche]

Don't really care either way.

[EnvyTB075]

They're already doing that with the dough brought in by specter packs because people are stupid.

Well, if EA wants to kill it its their choice. If a person doesnt like a product and is not interested in it, again its his choice.
If you do not like something, why would you buy it.

That's just because "gamers are afraid of change".

EA have more than enough sales from the ME franchise so no amount of failure of sales from Leviathan will have no effect on their views

[liggy002]

You'd have to be retarded to misinterpret the reason why people didn't buy the DLC. All you need to do is do some research and see why people are upset.

What change?  Mindless multiplayer that sacrifices a rich and well thought out single player RPG experience.  I love MP just as much as the next guy, but not at the expense of the single player campaign.  If they wanted multiplayer, it should have been a seperate title or an MMO.

Well, if EA want to misintepret regading what i want, they can go ahead while i take my cash somewhere else. I liked the KOTOR series as a single player. EA decided i would want a mmo, good for them. Still doesnt change the fact that i did not buy it and do not plan to either.

Exactly, just goes to show how selfish, stupid and full of **** most gamers are these days.

I really don't care : they can bury ME license under a pile of craphorse, that's were it is for me anyway...

JPR out!

Boycotts don't work. Kicking up a storm on forums do, and is fully endorsed by Jim Sterling.

I'm gonna keep shouting.

Well actually, OP, I can't say it's a fair comparison as all of the multiplayer dlc has been free, and is relatively far easier to make than single player dlc. multiplayer character skins,etc powers and locations being taken from the single player,etc.

Only way they'd know for sure which is more popular is to release a huge multiplayer dlc pack with new modes, powers, maps, characters, items and compare the sales both made.

[SackofCat]

The decision to expand multiplayer has already been made. It is a great way to generate additional profit beyond the retail price. An online pass adds a cost to the price of used games without costing anything or requiring any effort.

The popularity of ME3's multiplayer and the profit from PSPs would be more persuasive. If the single player aspect of ME3 is as unpopular as some seem to think, then the relative popularity of MP would also speak loudly.

To be honest though, I think the online pass aspect is enough for EA. After all, I doubt they see any quantifiable drawbacks to tacking multiplayer on every damn thing.

Consumers can control their buying behavior, not how that buying behavior is (mis)interpreted. Buying a defective or otherwise deficient product in the hopes of swaying a company like EA to change directions seems like a fool's errand.

You can't stop the tide by throwing pennies into the ocean. Or something.

Here's the article the quote is from.

I'll gladly buy Leviathan if they change the ending. Hell, if they make the ending change to an ending that is actually good, ONLY if you finish Leviathan perfectly, have 100% galactic readiness, and get a kick ass score on your galactic fleet number, I'll still buy it.

But I don't think they'll make the ending good. I can't get the ending I want. I'm fine with there sad, bittersweet endings, sure. Some people prefer those. Hell, I like to play through multiple times just to see them at least once. But not every ending should be like that. That isn't choice. That's just one very successful troll giving you the middle finger.

Problem with that is that if a company refuses to listen to words, the only other venue people have to register their complaints is in the wallet.

And how does adding OPTIONAL co-op ruins the game, huh? If you dont like it, dont play it.
There wont be an AI following you like in RE5 if you decide to play SP.
Get your facts straight before you whine about things that you havent seen in full.

People should act as they feel convinient..... if they are interested in it fine, buy it....... if they don't want anything more related with ME3 or are against the abuse of DLCs they shouldn't buy.

But they shouldn't be hostages of a "cause", I mean, no one should buy it just for the sake of a blind support towards BW or ME.

I didn't like DA2 so I didn't buy any of it's DLCs, I didn't think "I should buy them so that they don't close the DA franchise"...... Now it seems that BW has seen the failure in DA change of direction, stopped making more DLCs and now they are reorienting the game for DA3.

For me it's quite a dilema, I liked ME3 a lot, but I don't support DLCs, I a few times I've done exceptions when I like a game a lot ME and DAO's new missions characters (never item packs or alternate appearances) or Red Dead Redeption (Undead pack)
