Since last gen users aren't getting any more dlc, I am asking a question:
Why are last gen users getting shafted with regards to dlcs such as he qunari spoils and future mp dlc? Surely they wouldn't do too much to affect performance on last gen?
THat brings up another topic:if the dlc isn't available due to performance, why stop all the other dlcs? Or is bioware saying hat they don't care about last gen users due to financial reasons?
So why can't last gen users get item packs or mp dlc?

I think it's just easier to say "no more DLC" than "some DLC, but not others", even if whatever technical limitations keep them from releasing some future DLC doesn't apply to all of it. (It'd also be kind of gross to keep selling stuff to people you no longer intend to really support.)

No shaft. Just end of the line. Can't sink (dev) money into an orphaned platform.
You find evidence that MS or Sony are developing for their old-gen, and maybe you'd have a point. But you can't, 'cuz they ain't.

So it's more reasonable to just kill multiplayer?

Haven't you heard? Rendering those Qunari armors will just end up blowing up the old-gen consoles. In fact, Spoils of the Qunari is so technologically advanced that there are rumors that Bioware created it by reverse engineering alien artificial intelligence.
Did you know that the old-gen consoles have set modern society back by 500 years?

They're not turning it off, at least as far as I'm aware.So it's more reasonable to just kill multiplayer?
And the old consoles already have the smallest player base, judging by the challenge goals.

No further DLC's for MP means slow death. I guess all MP's die with time, but this will be just quite soon after release. You can't keep MP's up without adding content to them.

It's a pretty dumb move not to release item packs or MP DLC for oldgen. Not just annoying, but actually stupid.

They released it on old gen. It was reasonable for people who bought it on old gen to assume they'd continue getting DLC support until the end of the release cycle. Stopping that most definitely is giving them the shaft.
Sometimes you have to make that sort of choice for financial or ethical or creative reasons. Sometimes you can't treat everyone fairly and you have to pick someone to treat poorly. Personally, I don't think that's true in this case, but you know, it can happen. Rock and hard place. But even if you have the best reasons in the world, it does a person no credit not to acknowledge the truth of what they're doing and how it'll make others feel. BioWare did neither.
Either release it on oldgen and support it for the whole cycle or don't release it on oldgen at all.

Trouble was the game was developed for old gen and was meant to be out in 2013. They couldn't exactly drop support after working on the code even in 2014
