Nice to see everyone blindly giving EA money again.

I sometimes do really hate society

Their stocks are still dropping like bricks so I don't know what you're concerned about. Rumors abound that they're looking for someone to buy them off or are trying to get out of being a publically shared company so believe me, a ****storms abrewin.

I hope this is true. I really do.

Still doesnt excuse the fact that everyone totally is forgiving of original sin on Biowares part.

Who says everyone is forgiving? I haven't given them a dime since ME3. Leviathan and weapon packs? YouTube'd that.  I spent 1600 Microsoft Points on an arcade game. That's right, BioWare. I spent money on an indie game and not your precious DLC.

Stay classy, BSN.  One day, when you get a job, you'll realise what a dick move it is to wish 7,500 people out of work.

Pssh, I'm not. I haven't bought Leviathan, won't buy Omega since that seems even MORE pointless and will most likely not buy anything else ME3 related and I fully intend to borrow or go under a used purchase if I ever have the inkling to get DA3. I do not intend to give Bioware or EA another cent. Unless the ending is fixed and I can replay this trilogy hapily again. In which case I'm willing to more or less let Bigones be Bigones (no preorders however I'll wait to hear REAL reviews.)

I personally do have a job. And I know that if in my job I ever ****ed up on this scale, I'd be quickly OUT of a job. To not see any visible reprecussions, not even a proverbial slap on the wrist is all the more infuriating.

Its like they knew what was gonna happen and were A ok with whatever Casey did. Mac Walters isn't in charge of any DLC and as a writer he's more or less independent (and writers are only as successful as the reception to their work lets them be so I know he must be feeling the heat) but the project director or executive producer whatever they've relegated him to gets nothing but a visible time out keeping him away from Pax and SDCC is highly irritating.

I can't wait to see the amazing and unprecedented multiplayer that DA3 is now going to be forced into having.

If your company pisses off its customers and it goes under, then that's the price you paid for making bad mistakes. It's Capitalism. Look it up. They are not my friends, they are not my family. They a fricking corporation, and they should be treated as such.

Nothing blind about it, I had to look at my card then the screen then the card then the screen. Double check it all and press accept. But since you enjoyed me giving them money I shall continue to do so for the things they make I might enjoy, thanks.

There's a word that describes the guys standing on the sidelines, "happy, so very happy" that 7,500 people are unable to support their families for an uncertain period of time, too.  Look it up in the dictionary.  You'll find it under "C" and it has four letters.

(PS I'm a freelance business analyst, so please don't presume to educate me on the nature of capitalism.)

Thousands of people will lose jobs. Good franchises like Dead Space and Mass Effect may not be salvageable. Other game publishers will have less competition.

How is this a good thing for anyone?

There can be only one Anderson avatar on this thread. I challenge you with my extensive trivia knowledge of Mass Effect for the right to hold this avatar.

I bet...that you sir did not know...

That Anderson was born in London!!!

It is not a good thing, also I recall one of the moderators saying bashing Bioware or EA is not acceptable on here.

If you consider Mass Effect 3 to be a fireable offence I'd love to see the work you're proud of.  What is it you routinely produce in your job that's so amazing, then?

You are wishing for thousands of people who had absolutely nothing to do with this, to lose their jobs soley because you are angry about a video game. It's completely childish behavior.

Nothing against the innocent people working there, but that's Capitalism. Risk and reward. If your company goes under, then you lose the job. It's sad, but that's how capitalism is. And you honestly think those people won't find other companies to go to? Please. Tons of game companies have been dissolved, but the people in the industry move on to other companies.

Indeed. Only someone with little brains would said something like without thinking.

Gonna have to agree with atakuma and Zaysh Green.

What exactly is such a fireable offense that pissed off "many: customers?

Because they didnt like an ending? Come on. Thats not a fireable offense. Or should they cancel hitman because people were outraged at the "Nun" commercial? or DMC because people dont like the "new Dante?

Where does it end Green!? Where does it end!?!?!


But yes it is silly to wish a whole company to go under because of something as minor as that in the grand scheme of things.

7,500 on the market all at once will create an excess of supply, thus reducing the demand.  You should know this since you're lecturing everybody on capitalism.

It would make me happy to see EA itself fall, or at the very least it's policies. If it breakes up into individual companies, then I'm fine with that.

Lol. What competition are you talking about:lol:

EA made battlefield three to compete with CoD, BF3 sold 5 million coppies, the latest CoD sold somewhere around 8.6 million, all but blowing BF3 out of the water.

The most expensive game ever made *ever* by any company, the so called "WoW Killer" has gone free to play in less than a year and is loosing subscribers to Guild Wars 2

Mass Effect 3 HAH lets not even go there

DA2 Again, not even bothering.

What was the other game they came up with recently. War in the North? That blip in the radar that barely sold enough to break even? If even that?

The only thing they've "done" which they didn't even do they just published, that was successful was KoA which sold 3 mil or so when it needed 5.8 to break even.

Face it, all EA has to keep it afloat are its sport issues and it has a monopoly on those so they're not even really "competing" with anybody.

EA going under, with their stocks falling doesn't necesarilly mean a torch and burn collapse. If other companies buy it out and their IP's piece meal, that to me is a very good buisness venture. Activision can take the sports issues, CD projekt can take Dragon age, Valve MIGHT pick up whatever's left of the ME franchise, and others can pick out the LotR contracts and some of the low budget independent ideas EA has to make them shine rather than have them dumbed down by this retarded company that thinks everything needs multiplayer.

EA's stocks are a joke, their reputation is so bad they make other bad companies look GOOD by comparison *cough cough activision cough* Bioware has become the biggest laughing stock in the western game developer industry seen since ATARI and that ET game, with every single development studio, even non RPG makers taking potshots at them. Blizzard even made a parody app game based on ME3 (Multiple endings COLOR CODED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE!!! )

If EA goes under they really have no one to blame but themslves and this bullrushing idea that they seem to have that if they just PUSH something enough the public that doesn't like the idea in the first place will LOVE what they're doing.

It's not just the ending for me. EA has a... history of making me angry with their policies towards the game companies they acquire and the way they treat customers. Do not presume it's just Mass Effect nor the ending. My dislike of them goes far back.
