When is Bioware going to stop pretending that they didn't mess up?

When they stop making money.


Really though, I doubt they will unless they fire mac or casey. Both of them are convinced that they made "art", which technically cannot be done incorrectly.

Can't post a post without swearing can you?  Tell me is your face red?  Careful don't want to smudge your screen with whatever you are stuffing your face with as you fume.

I'm actually smiling, and if the profanity offends your delicate sensibilities I will stop using it, not because I care about what you think, but I don't want anything to distract you from the words I am about to use to explain what has just happened over our short conversation.

Do me a favor and just reread your comments. Notice anything? They are progressively getting more vitriolic, more angry, more negative and toxic. Isn't it wonderful? See the great thing about spreading toxicity is that it is so easy to find an unwilling accomplice. Everyone who reads this thread is going to feel a little less happy now, and I couldn't have done it without you.

CONVERSE with us.  Dont let these gaping wounds which YOU the devs left, stay open and fester.  This is a problem that can be fixed just by talking to us.  Discussing things with us. 

yeah.....that would go real well.

he's got it right

some of the people here are really sickening

Wow, if someone not liking a video game is 'sickening' to you, you must have a pretty low opinion of humanity.

See?

The sickening feeling is justified. Some people get extremely petty and sadistic over a video game, and it can reach disturbing levels.

It's ok to be upset, it's not ok to be psychopathic.

Devs don't deserve to be insulted because the game they made didn't turn out the way you wanted it to but Moater Boats crappy behavior makes him open season.


You don't get it. No one deserves to be treated like dirt. Treat others like you would want to be treated: with respect. But I guess some people will never understand this golden silent rule.

Is it just me seeing the hypocrisy in what KotorEffect3 is saying? 

It's horrible to insult someone unless they disagee with you, then it's ok. That kind of double standards is the thing that is toxic here.

  Funny how you target me and let Moater Boat off the hook.  Yeah no double standards there


When did I let him off the hook? He wasn't on one to begin with. “Devs are human beings and don't deserve to be insulted and threatened." Do you not see the hypocrisy here?


Of course you don't put him on the hook.  He is on your side.  Don't even talk to me you dounle standard hypocrite.

That's maybe because you're the one talking about human beings don't deserve to be insulted, and then insulting someone a moment later. Lol, you're funny :lol:


Devs don't deserve to be insulted because the game they made didn't turn out the way you wanted it to but Moater Boats crappy behavior and his overall self centered, narrow minded, wannabe badass attitude makes him open season.  He is deliberatly toxic because he enjoys it.  He is scum

They don't deserve to be insulted, but they are open to criticism. Like Dr Extrem said, it is partially the PR team's fault too.

They did, that they no longer do so is simply down to not wanting to be flamed by 12 year olds

DG is the exception as his internet warrior level is over 9000

For those of you proposing a purge of the BSN, how do you think it should be done? And what rules would be implemented that would prevent the same thing from happening all over again without turning this place into the Internet equivalent of North Korea?

Not yet an hour since this thread was started and already half of the comments prove that blog post to be almost painfully accurate.

Gotta love all the shameless straw man arguments. It's not about criticism, it's about tone, respect and basic aspects of social behaviour.

I can understand why he feels that way - but there IS a reason for that. There are always people who will not like something,we are all different. But when "noise to data" ratio is growing and environment becomes more toxic - it means more and more people don't like what is being developed.
And while BSN clearly is not the only place for Bioware fans - it is one of those places.
As for crowds at conventions - this is not even funny. People stopping appearing at those will mean that Bioware died. First signs that it does something wrong are internet background noise and sales.
And while ME3 sales where really really good, i'd like to see if it sold like DA:O - kept selling long after release, or like DA2 - sold a ton of preorders and then fell sharply down. I think it is the later.

Your a hypocrite for defending him while targeting me. While he has openly said he enjoys insulting the devs.
