I actually think its funny. I look at it this way the EA lost millions by having Titanfall exclusive to Xbox, and now Titanfall 2 is gonna be multiplat. And now, PS4( 20.2 million users- Xbox one( 11.6 million) yeah they lost huge in day one DLC sales( even future sales cause some players will be butt hurt about it). Me thinks that EA needs to go back to business school lol
yet they probably make more money then every registered BSN user combined...

i'm referring to this forum
No Different when Microsoft acquired one month early access to Call of Duty DLC
No Different when Microsoft acquired early access to DLC from certain Bethseda games.
No Different when Microsoft acquired early access to the next Tomb Raider game.
At the same time
Playstation users got exclusive access to Joker missions in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
and there are other franchises where Sony payed for early or exclusive content as well so as you can see this is nothing new and has been going on for a while where both sides are guilty of paying money for early or exclusive access.

Still this doesn't make the practice less shady and stupid.
I'm playing on PS3. I doubt I'll be getting this DLC any time soon considering the platform I'm playing on.
PS4 user here. Sure I'm pissed, but I just suck it up and go about my life. I also happen to have a 360 and can't figure out why they were left out too.
why are the 360 kids left hanging in the breeze with Sony kids? 'punishment' for not upgrading?
Yes.
I have an XBox One, but you don't hear me whining about not being able to play Bloodborne.
That's not really a comparable example. You and I were aware that we wouldn't be able to play Bloodborne because it is not available for our platforms, so we didn't pay any money for it and thus are not their customers. Developers do not have any obligation to make every game available for every platform that exists, or to provide service to people who are not their customers.
DAI is a game that I already own. I paid the same purchase price as anyone else. I am Bioware's customer, and we're talking about content for an existing paid product.
A game you bought is a totally different thing than a game you didn't buy.
The specific nature of the obligation Bioware has to their paying customers is certainly debatable, but the fact they have one is valid as a point of discussion.
It will come out seen enough & then you can play it. Stop whining already! God! I swear you guys are worse than spoiled children who couldn't get the toy they wanted from a department store.
I think a better example would be if you went to the department store, laid your money on the counter, and asked to purchase a cool new part for your toy. The store clerk says, "Sorry, we don't want your money today, you're not a preferred customer." You ask, "Well... when can I buy it?" And the clerk replies, "I don't know. Sometime. Whatever." And turns her back to you so she can cheerfully sell what you wanted and attempted to pay for to a different customer.
Is the store within its rights? Sure.
Is the customer going to be happy? Probably not, and it's not really an unexpected reaction under the circumstances. 
Betrayed? Hyperbole much?
I have an XBox One, but you don't hear me whining about not being able to play Bloodborne.
LOL? Dragon Age is a cross platform game. All DLC should be available at the same time on all platforms. Bloodborne is released only on PS4. Don't compare it.
I don't know why people are acting like timed exclusives are a new thing and feel betrayed by bioware. As a PS4 owner I knew that I would have to wait for DLC when they announced Xbone and PC would get time exclusivity before the game released- so you had months to get used to the idea. Second thing, Bioware has nothing to do with the deal- EA is the one who made the deal and as a business it is in their best interest to make money.

That being said I think the XBox 360 players have the a legitimate complaint against Microsoft since they should have been part of the deal.

I don't feel betrayed or anything. What annoys me is that they've provided no information when the DLC is going to be released on PS4.

Ok that makes sense, I imagine it might be around 6 months like the Skyrim DLC. Hopefully not anymore but I have other games to play while I wait.
unless you bought the inquisitor edition chose a console because you didn't think they do this a month or more before e3 so you get screwed I'm not saying I feel betrayed but I'm still madIt's been known that Xbone would get the first story DLC first as a timed exclusive since before the game even launched. If you bought a PS4 for Inquisition and now you're upset you have no one but yourself to blame.
this 1000% disappointingI bought a PS4 just for DAI. I already had it for 360. The DLC comes out on neither. You bet your ass I'm pissed. I'm NOT a SONY fanboy. I'm a Bioware fanboy.
I feel betrayed. You bet your ass I'm pissed.
just get bloodborne mate and all will feel betterunless you bought the inquisitor edition chose a console because you didn't think they do this a month or more before e3 so you get screwed I'm not saying I feel betrayed but I'm still mad
Did you buy Bloodborne?
I bought DAI twice! And the dlc ain't coming out on either system.
I feel your pain. Just got bloodborn yesterday (it's not that great )
And I also bought DAI twice Xbox360 & PS4. Did'nt even know the DLC was out...until today.
I suc at those kinds of games though I probably will get on sale sometimesjust get bloodborne mate and all will feel better
It was announced at Microsofts e3 2014 press conference.
I don't think it's realistic to expect every player to read/watch every E3 announcement about every game they're considering buying, including announcements focused on a platform they don't own. Most people just don't expect to need that level of concern about whether there's some catch to their entertainment products.
How many announcements, articles, and press conferences have there been about DAI over the months and years? I don't think, "Well, you overlooked that Microsoft announcement back in June!" is a reasonable expectation to put on the average player.
The announcement is also quite vague as to exactly what type of content and the time frame involved. I would have thought it would be like the initial game release, where Xbox One users got stuff a few days early - not that so much as a release date for other platforms would be treated like a state secret. To me the E3 stuff was not at all indicative that other customers could expect to be disregarded like this.
You know, before you complain soooo much about this...I Think you should know Sony does this too.
Destiny. Playstation have missions and equipment xbox users don't have.
And the xbox users have to wait at least a year for.
Whining about the whiners who whine about the whiners... Maker - help me!
well said I for one will forget about this game won't be buying any dlc for itI actually think its funny. I look at it this way the EA lost millions by having Titanfall exclusive to Xbox, and now Titanfall 2 is gonna be multiplat.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows that other games have similar restrictions. But this a Dragon Age forum, not a Destiny etc. forum, so it stands to reason that what is being discussed primarily here is Dragon Age.
It doesn't mean people are unaware of or indifferent to what is going on with other games. It just means this is a DA forum, not a general gaming forum.
Most people also aren't suddenly going to be fine with a policy that irritated them just because their irritation isn't unique. "Other companies do this too" isn't a solution.
Will other ps4 players forget about the future of Dragon age DLC and buy The witcher 3 with that games DLC (since there won't be delays) after hearing about the MS EA agreement? So much for GOTY. Still No real DLC yet. No wonder I am the only one on my psn still playing this. Knowing the future spoils the fun of DAI. Thanks EA.
This really does not bother me as a PS4 user, for several reasons:
1. It was announced last year well before release.
2. I don't fire up Inquisition just to play a DLC. I'll incorporate any and all DLC into a new playthrough when I get around to it.
3. I have other things to do in my free time, so I probably wouldn't play it right away anyway. AC Black Flag is a good game so far.
