This statement pretty much points the finger at him. And basically says he just kinda felt like telling us something so just threw it out there without actually being told that it was ok to give us the info.
Douche. At least if you are going to try and backtrack on what you said make some effort to get rid of your earlier posts.
Read that statement of mine that I quoted. The statement points the finger at him for what? What am I accusing Chris of? For making a post that he did, in fact, make?
Troll somebody else please. I haven't blamed Chris for anything that he isn't ABSOLUTELY guilty of.
Not in any of my posts, all of which I stand by, and all of which you've taken way too seriously and yet, still don't seen to comprehend.
Chris made a post on the 13th that directly resulted in me placing trust in a product that turned out to be a bust. Is it his fault solely? No, afterall he didn't make the product. BUT: Do I want him to address the problems? Yes.
^^^ That's for you. My way of saying goodbye. And I like how you make double posts to censor your words only to then spout out more profanities. You seem like you're very level-headed indeed. 
Yes so you are blaming him directly for a post he would have been told was ok to put out. I am sure he isn't all powerful over what does and does not happen in DA. Someone would have realised that MS leaked the update and the DLC and alarm bells would have been going off that PC users were going to be even more annoyed.
At that point he obviously decided without talking to anyone that it would be fine to say pc users could have the dlc as well 
Your original post and even your 2nd post make no reference to Bioware being to blame. You blame Chris. Which I keep saying is idiotic - because, funnily enough, it is. The majority of his statements would be reviewed by others before being posted, and he would be told what he can and cannot say.
it wasn't until after I had a go at you that you started saying that you simply expected him to address the problems. Perhaps he is in his boss' ear every five minutes about the general whinging. Perhaps his boss told him to **** off because he was getting on his boss' nerves.
If they can't give us some kind of worthwhile update that they have made progress on the fix what is the point of him sending us updates every hour like most of you seem to want. Have they acknowledged the problem? Yes they have. DO they have a fix? Obviously not. What more can he do? Keep popping up every hour and saying, "We are working on it. We are at line 67 of the 32 million lines of code" perhaps?
I am level headed. However, when it comes to people like you blaming a person for the information he was given authority to release; which turned out to be wrong - then I get annoyed. And oooh..profanities. Wash your eyes out with soap if you need to.
I never said he didn't make the post. But is it fair to lay the blame for that post at his feet, as an employee of Bioware? I think not. All you really need to do is really be specific about where you are pointing the blame because in your posts you cannot decide whether it his fault or Biowares.
My, what a Krafty post.
I don't mind your profanities, and again, you fail to comprehend written words because I never said I did. I just find it funny that you make double posts to censor some words only to then make another post where you blurb out further mindless insults.
I skimmed your post and that part about "washing my eyes with soap" stuck out as funny, in an unintentional sort of way. And I never said Chris was solely to blame, only that his post caused me to purchase BioWare points under false pretense. Show me the post where I blame Chris solely for BioWare's delays and miscommunications or we can just stop this already. I do think he could have shown more caution in announcing, for the THIRD time, a release time that turns out to be false. I don't think his BOSS forced him to post that. Do you really think that? If not, don't you think Chris deserves SOME of the blame?
As for your last sentence: Hilarious. You say I should specify where I lay my blame, but I'm sure wherever I specify you'll then tell me I'm being too assuming. I'm not specifying my blame, you just really want to think I am so you can argue and "have a go" at me, as you put it. I haven't "changed my tune" at all, either. You've irritated me at most - and congratulations on that I suppose - but I don't see what else it is you've proven except to constantly tell me that I'm being horribly unfair to the resident BioWare spokesperson of this thread.
Why am I responding to you? At first I thought you were simply trolling, and now you're coming off as having delusions of grandeur to which I'm only justifying with these responses.
With all that said, I do think Chris sucks at being a representative of BioWare. Am I cruel for that? Am I like that guy who yells and throws a fit because the pizza-man was late for delivery? I'm such a meany, right? How dare I want BioWare representatives to not post erroneous information that ends up making me spend money on something that doesn't exist. How dare I use the name of the individual who acted as BioWare's representative in making that post. Is that the idea? Is that your point?
I hate to say it, but - what's the expression you used? Oh yeah: Get a clue. Chris is hardly a poor victim here. If you genuinely feel sorry for Chris because of people like me, than there are billions of people in the world who would like to have lived your all-too-comfortable life.
See, i'm quite enjoying this. Gives me something to do. I went back and re-read your first post. Fair enough you were wanting Chris, as the Bioware rep on this forum, to tell us that they were sorry what what he/they did (which indicates to me that you were meaning for him to take ownership on behalf of Bioware which is, imo, a good thing for someone to do to a degree) and to make amends; not by giving us money but by giving money to Haiti which is a noble cause. And I agreed with you that it would be a good thing even though I know, as you do, that the likelihood of that happening is almost lower than the temperature in Whitehorse at the moment (FYI it is around -20 degrees celsius)
I will just also mention I didn't mean to double post. It was supposed to be a simple edit of my original post, and there was supposed to be a smiley face indicating that I knew I was being slightly hypocritical by apologising for profanities while pretty much posting more.
However, this "I don't blame him solely. Well... maybe I do. But that's because it was his name on the post that told me it was safe to assume that RtO would be available in a matter of hours. Sucks to be the spokesperson, but most spokespersons understand the levity of their job and take precautions, rather than throwing out information into the wind that could result in people feeling ripped-off" still says to me that you do blame him. You are basically saying that he just decided "I am going to promise this dlc" without discussing it with anyone. And I am sure if the 360 didn't suddenly start developing problems we probably would have gotten it. The issue on whether or not they should have seen the bug before release is a totally different argument.
In hindsight, I am sure Bioware wishes they were more cautious in promising us the dlc. But at the time it would have been a shock to firstly find out that MS had given it to 360 users, and an even bigger shock to realise that PC users would actually take to the streets and start killing because 360 users got the update and they didn't. Given Bioware's history with the pc, and that pc gamers - imo - are actually the worst of the customers (consolers are worse when it comes to some things but on rights/entitlements I think pc gamers are the worst) they could have expected people to literally take to the streets and start killing/maiming others for being left out.
Instead most are now sitting back laughing at MS and 360 users for getting screwed.
I just think your rage should be at Bioware. I realise Chris is the "face" of Bioware on the forums, and I don't mind if your posts are addressed to him; but I simply don't agree that you should be blaming him (which I understand you don't believe you are - but I read your posts as blaming him).
So yeah, we can probably let this go unless you feel like continuing it. I'm not implying Chris is totally innocent; but at the end of the day I firmly believe he would be given parameters on what he can and cannot say, and if you are personally blaming him then you are off base.
