Well, this makes it easy. I'm officially done with Bioware as well as any other dev under the EA umbrella.

software should be platform dependant, true. but end user doesn't pay for the guts, he pays for the functionality. i'm still in awe why such brilliant mechanisms like Steam or Origin didn't introduce logical model of distribution - you pay for DAI, your hardware decides which version is downloaded from the repository.

I think that EA is the one in control here over the copies, and they would never do such a thing when they have a chance to earn money

[coldflame]

The best case scenario would be that ea charging you last-gen people half price for a current-gen copy of DAI.

Or if you have an xbox one just get ea access and get the game for free.

[Ewa]

so we follow those step we still keep all our stuff ? and can we import it any place in that save or just end game?, cause i got the blasted deluxe in the ps3,those that mean i need too get the deluxe on the ps4 or i can get the use up dai for it (not planning of buy tthis game new) i will get a ps4 but not untild for a while since there not a lot of game i want and this game is at the bottom right about now.

No. You will need to buy deluxe version for ps4. If you will have standard version you wont have item from deluxe. Its money making now. I now is stupid but I pe-order this game on ps3. It cost me around 350zł. In poland its alot. Ps4 is around 2000-1500zł. The lower payment is 1200zł so I won't be able to buy ps4 for a long time. Only Pc games is somehow cheap but my is really old mashin (that's why I was happy to hear DAI will be on old consoles)

 

They decision (mostly EA) makes me refuse to buy DAI on ps4 again. Maybe i will buy used version but others game made by Bioware i wont buy. It's simply: the **** up with old generation players = I will now **** up EA and Bioware.

 

 

I love RPG games. What happened with DAI... It should never happen. They were aware what limitation ps3/xbox 360 have. ****. THAT GAME WAS FIRST MAKING ON OLD GENERATION!!! They switch when ps4 before come out and later xbox one. i dont give a **** "its all you fault because you buy on old-gen!". No, they misslidded people! Everything what EA, and in some point also Bioware, to make sure to have a big sale!

DAI doesn't deserve tile "The game of the Year". They rushed everything! That's why DAI on ps3 and xbox 360 is so fucked up! To tell the truth i think DAI was made in 2 years! Like DA II... 

 

They fucked again...

 

 

And to think I was about to buy new Mass Effect game whem I get ps4... screw up that

[didjamom]

Bioware doesn't have that power. EA, Sony & Microsoft has that power

witch is a total cop out,that's like owning a 2014 car and not being able to put fuel in it unless you go out and buy a 2015 model

Sony & Microsoft get a cut of the sales revenue, so EA would be taking a loss if next gen was offered for free to last gen players.

 

Also, there probably are not of old gen players that complained (other than 10 or so on the BSN).

 

I complained yesterday on ea.com, and the thread has zero responses from fans and EA folk.

Not enough customers care to motivate EA to somehow accomodate the DAI last gen players who want to play new DLC.

Steam does allows you to download a software onto all supported platform. You can get it on Mac, Windows, Linux, SteamOS as long as it is supported. Thus it is generally safe to say if you have a Steam box, upgrading that box will not cause you to lose any previously purchased software.

Most of old gen players on forums have either 1. given up with Bioware and abandoned company that abandoned them 2. upgraded to new gen and bought DAI for it since the value Bioware so highly (seriously they should really be grateful on how loyal some fans of them are). or 3. people who have just given up with getting anything from BW, but still hanging around. I'm somewhat on 3rd option myself, I get angry for time to time, but generally I just don't think anything can we done with Bioware, they are hopeless so I don't except anything good from them to old gen folks even in terms of communication although I do try sometimes like with this thread.

These systems are so ancient it boggles my mind that they lasted a decade. To be honest, I truly feel that Xbox 360 and PS3 players are lucky they even got DA:I on the console. This move doesn't really surprise me, though I concede that continuing to support it all the way until the end of the DLC cycle would've been nice.

 

That said, dropping platform support for two, uh, platforms, will free up resources that can be shunted back into other area's of DLC design.

Yeah it is mind boggling that Bioware put DA Inquisition onto the 360 and PS3.  Even moreso that they gone on to say during initial marketing push that the game would run, almost the same, if not fairly well (it didn't for the most of us who played it on last gen) and would get continued support as the PC and current gen (as of now, nope.  not anymore).  But they did put it out there for the last gen.  We bought it in good faith the game that costs the same as the pc/ps4/xbone.  Had it not come out on the PS3/360, we would have understood and saved our money for when we could have upgraded to the new systems.

Can't argue with that!  I am not affected by this move but I am also done with BW/EA.

EA makes it impossible to file a formal complaint. No email address at all to send it to. What good would calling in a phone complaint do? Maybe the reason no one replied on your thread is because not even EA can be arsed to provide customer service--customers see no point in saying anything. Ha ha. Joke's on us, I guess. I just won't buy any more EA products new. The only game I care about is the next mass effect, and seeing how bioware handled this situation, my enthusiasm for andromeda and bioware has flushed down the toilet. I have zero respect for bioware. I used to have great appreciation for them. It was fun while it lasted.

[Beama Beorhtost]

@GreatBlueHeron - So am I. Late October I should be able to get an XBOX1 and I will be checking the publishing company before buying any game for it. Worst case scenario I'll be buying second hand, which I'd never done as I've always tried to support companies that were making games I wanted to play.

[Beama Beorhtost]

@Panda - You're right, I used to check the forum every day during tea and lunch breaks but since the announcements and how we old gen folks we've been treated by the company and their whealtier more fortunate entitled little prats fans, I meant fans, I just check maybe once a week to see if both are still saying that this is an inspired move, really only out of curiosity 'cause I don't think there's anything else to be gained both from the fans and EA, as many people seem to forget that BW is an EA studio and it has been for many years now.

[Orvar83]

Completely true, i too hope to be getting a ps4 at the end of this year, if I decide to buy DA:I again i'll buy it second hand, as for new DLC, my answer is youtube, rather watch a playthrough than to keep paying these a**holes for subpar performing games and pig sh*t customer policies, I still have a speck of hope that in the up coming months they at the very least patch the whole BE sound bug though, but I won't hold my breath. Any ways, point is, if they are not straight and respectful to me and my money, i have no intention of being respectful and straight with their work. f*ck em!.

It's still a dick move, but these are unnecessarily harsh words for people who stay current on their favored hobby.

I don't read that as every new gen owner, just the douches who say the equivalent of "what's the big deal, quit crying, buy a new system and game".

[Orvar83]

just because some of us can't "stay current" doesn't mean this isn't our favored hobby either, but I agree, the only ones who should be getting any harsh words are Bioware and EA, not other gamers, but at the same time it wouldn't hurt current gen ppl to support us, you know show a little simpathy instead of assuming the easier position of " just buy a new console" or "deal with it old gen is dead" don't you think? I mean what if it was ps4/Xone the ones getting left out of a game mid content life cycle under the premise "yeah current gen can't handle the game as pc".

In my opinion, the last bit of the comment could be seen as including people solely based on their choice of next generation consoles since the mid bit had the "we old gen folk" which seemed to include people solely based on their choice of old generation consoles. Do not take this to mean that I believe that was the intent, merely that I think the comment can be interpretated as such without much difficulty regardless of the poster's intent.

 

I consider the inclusion of harsh words in the comment to be unnecessary and liable to give impressions that were not intended and so spark fires that was not meant to be started.

That's why I play on PC.

 

Truth be told, I'm sympathetic to you guys and I think old gen is dead. It was a mistake to release the game to old gen, period.

 

They made their bed, though, and they should try to make it right somehow.

 Ohh I know old gen is dead, that's how tech works, as soon as the latest version of a hardware comes out, the previous one is forgoten, i've no issue with that, and I agree with you this game should've never come out for old gen, but they chose to release it any how, and it's bad, really bad, even by old gen standards this bad: 

 

So if they aren't going to give us the new dlc, the least they could do would be to fix the game so that Roderick doesn't end up looking like this until he sit's down...I'm glad you play pc, cool to have the dough to buy a top end gpu, i use to have for that a few years back now i don't so...

Seeing how some new gen and PC folks have spoken here to old gen folks, even before release those words are well deserved.  I don't think they fit to everyone, but with certain people I'd use harsher words if it was allowed here ^^;

[didjamom]

They had the power to decide not to do DLC's for older consoles anymore though. I wonder if it's common practice to stop supporting some of systems you released the game on. I haven't heard about any company doing it before.

they couldn't get it to work on the old gen so they were like if at 1st you don't succeed, **** it, give up.
