I know this guy is trolling, but I know ALOT of people that actually feel this way. I really hope BioWare isn't trying to make their game for the COD fans.
I play COD, I thought it had the best story I had ever seen in a shooter , but this is Mass Effect Dammit! Don't put your shooter in my RPG.
Who cares about initial sales of the game? We buy all of the DLC anyway.
And Bobby Kotick is a total ******. I hate him. If he is successful, other publishers will take his "it's all about the money" mindset. I REALLY hate him.

Nerd Rant:
Mass Effect was an RPG with experimental shooter elements. Unfortunately, due to the popularity of modern action-only FPSes, and the rise of video companies run by
suits, and not by gamers, game design has become solely profit-minded, with quality story-telling taking a back-seat to easy money.
The salt in the wound, however, is that emotionless, trash-talking marines have existed for a while. Duke Nukem and Doom Guy co-existed with the likes of Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment. Nowadays, however, games like BG and PS:T are no longer made because they're no longer profitable. When they were profitable, they were played by gamers who have since grown up, and no longer have time to play games in general. If they do have time, they do so out of nostalgia, and they are looked down upon for playing games at that age.
These are dark times. Rant off.
