Hello.

 

I am among the fans who bought your product, Dragn Age: Inquisition ingood faith that I would have the full experience of base game and all DLC that would come out.  I have found myself recently and heavily restricted in that I am unable to purchase DLC beyond Jaws of Hakkon.

 

Many are in the same position as I.

 

I think you could satisfy your fans who were left behind by offering a fee to port from previous generation consoles to current generation consoles.  The saved games and the DLC are already available, but the core game is not, and it is poor business sense to expect your supporters to pay full price for your product twice because you (or Electronic Arts) decided to, without warning, stop downloadable content for previous-generation systems with no warning.  In this way, players who might later acquire a current-generation system could not only port their saved games and their downloadable content, but may keep their original investment without having to double their purchase entirely.  In this way, you can appease the supporters who, like myself, bought Dragon Age: Inquisition and are, at least at present, unable to afford a new system, but will in the future, and maybe don't want to spend yet another $50-$60 (accounting for price drop in the future?) for a game they already have.

You all should get a free copy, but I doubt it'll happen. Microsoft is letting you play 360 games on the one for free, but apparently EA is too cheap to essentially let you do the same for Inquisition.

It would be odd to emulate a 360 game on the xbone when there's an xbone version

I appreciate the sentiment, but a free copy just isn't likely.  I'm trying to suggest a middle ground.  It likely won't go anywhere, but hey, doesn't hurt to make the suggestion.  We know Bioware reads their forums.

The dev team does, but the chances of getting such a thing kicked up the chain are small. To us Mark, Mike et al are big fish. To EA they're employees, and their job is to make games, not make financial policy.

I'm honestly trying not to be a downer on this. The whole thing is rather crappy, but posting here isn't likely to do much besides be a vent.

I have made the suggestion elsewhere that a snail mail campaign might work. It's slightly harder to ignore a large pile of letters in the mailbag than it is emails or posts. Plus taking the time to actually write puts a little more weight behind it.

I just might do that.  Not sure that sending a few letters would make more of a difference than a forum post, but I do agree that i might get someone to notice, even if they just send a canned answer.

 

I don't mean to complain.  I was honestly attempting to find a solution that would work for everyone, on both business and consumer sides. They have enough people yelling at them.

I understand completely. It's a crappy situation for all involved. I think the idea is a good one, just here it's not going to get heard by the right people and shouted down in some cases.
