ty for the screw job on dragon age inquisition
ah the lack of new DLC on last gen? I'm sorry about that. But our options were this or stopping DLC sooner.
I realize that that isn't very helpful but the upcoming DLC will not function on last gen.
Of those options, I'd prefer stopping DLC sooner. At least that way everyone is treated fairly.
So, he's basically saying if they hadn't dropped old-gen consoles now then they would not have been able to make any more DLC for DAi at all, well other then item packs I guess.
Personally I prefer more story-like content, rather then no more added at all. Sadly it is very unfair for old-gen console users however.

Not delivering more than one DLC for the price of satisfying a relatively small player-base is hardly "fair treatment", especially in the long run, when those stuck with old-gen eventually upgrade their PCs or consoles and have a chance of experiencing more story and (hopefully) quality content that way.

Not even item packs, since old gen consoles don't get Spoils of the Qunari either. Or any new MP DLC. Or any new patches.
Bioware completely abandoned their fans on the older consoles.

As unfair as it is to old-gen console users who have no plan to upgrade consoles ever, I have to agree with midnight_tea for the long run. In 3 years time would people still think that releasing just the one story DLC (JoH) for DAi because of old-gen limitations was a good decision? Well no-one can answer that until another 3 years has passed, so rhetorical question. I just think of it as this, for example, DAo having just one of it's DLC's after all this time had passed since it was released. So picture the only DLC they released for DAO was Shale's. Would people be happy if something avoidable had prevented them from releasing all the other available DLC's? we'll never know.
I hope the devs are able to do their best work this time, as DAI could some improvements lol, but the game and any future DLC isn;t going anywhere, you'd still be able to buy it in 4 years time.

They didn't abandon anyone. Even the most diehard follower of old consoles will eventually upgrade to a newer gen system. BioWare's content is waiting and ready for that inevitable day, unless such people are just going to give up gaming completely once their old system dies.
I do agree it sucks that they stopped mid-game cycle with support and DLC, but they didn't set out to be "unfair" or screw people.

You mean, if you were abandoned, the others must also be abandoned? That is not fair. That's childish.

Is everyone treated equally? Yes. Thus by definition it is fair.
And they only have to buy the entire game again to do so.

I can answer those questions right now. Yes and yes.
Would people want more? Sure. But that want doesn't go away even if all the DLC planned are made since people will always want more.
You shouldn't have to buy a game again just to experience the content you got screwed over.

Abandon: to leave and never return to (something)
By definition, abandon is exactly what they did.
Not setting out to do something doesn't mean those things aren't done.

I'm on current gen, so I haven't been abandoned.

That's just silly. More DLC means more story - for everyone (even those who refuse to upgrade and buy the game again, get more material to fill-in the gaps or theorize about the story) - no matter if people would want more after whatever they've been delivered.
How long has the current patch beta test thing been running for now? One would assume DLC 2 whatever it is will require a patch (assuming 1.08 wasn't it) and those take about week or so give or take to cert on consoles.

*sigh*
I leave for several months and still nothing in sight.

Patch 9 beta has been going about 3 weeks.

Hmm thats not very long, now I guess it depends if whatever the content DAMP team is teasing is actually part of Patch 9 or independent of the patch (like Black Emporium was).
I guess Patch 9 could launch next week if its separate from it, most patches go live on Monday (occasionally Tuesday), Jaws of Hakkon was also announced a few hours after patch 6 went live if BioWare was going to repeat themselves.
I honestly feel like this right now
Accurate.

Personally I can’t see anything new coming to multiplayer till Varric’s story is over. The final chapter/book/challenge starts on the 14th August and finishes on Monday the 17th so that could mean patch 9 goes live then and we get a release/announcement of DLC on the 18th.

Are you still supporting new content (single player dlc) for Dragon Age Inquisition? Or you guys moving on to something else?
There's still a bit of stuff in the works, yes.
Understating now, is he? He's trying to be cheeky. I take this as a good sign. 
Well, time to start the waiting game again, it's a bad game, I hope Bioware gives me something new to play instead...
Actually, I don't hope anything is released and nothing will be released today for certain (My new strategy: play reverse psychology with the universe)
I think there'll be an announcement, but I think it will be after today.
(Now everyone can get that stuck in your heads. You're welcome.)
Or maybe his story is somehow related to the new content?Personally I can’t see anything new coming to multiplayer till Varric’s story is over.

Way I see it, the chances of Bioware doing anything go down dramatically if it isn't Monday or Tuesday. I'm just hoping that they'll announce they're doing something Monday or Tuesday
