No, it wasn't an honest apology. It was damage control. I used to play EVE. I was involved with the same group. I've spoken with the guy. He's one of the slickest and most intelligent people I've ever met. On the other side of the coin, however, he's also the biggest, most sadistic jerk I've...

It's the golden rule, my friend. "He who has the gold makes the rules."

No, actually, it isn't. The end takes place inside a bubble completely immune from any of your previous actions (and ripped right out of Deus Ex). No matter whether you got the quarians killed or destroyed the Rachni or any host of other paths which were open to you, you will still get to choose...

Fine then. Imagine for a moment that you're Dr. Muzyak of Bioware facing this. Massive backlash, etc. What matters more: appeasing your customers by salvaging your studio's reputation and potential future sales or appeasing the egos of some employees by standing up for "artistic integrity"...

I call BS. Let's be honest, this is no excuse for terrible, terrible writing.

You had absolutely better believe that EA is taking this PR disaster seriously. They paid a whole lot of money for the Bioware name, reputation, and talent. They paid a lot of money to develop the games released under that studio name since the purchase. One unsatisfying game which failed to...

I consider it unethical for a company to make one aspect of a game the crux of their advertising campaign only to fail to deliver that aspect altogether. That is the point of the FTC complaint. *Hyperbole alert* Would you have been okay with purchasing Skyrim after seeing all the...

No, but as a consumer, I deserve a game which is high-quality from start to finish. Just as I expect a book I purchase to be well-written and edited until the end and have some final resolution, so I expect with a game. Settling quietly for mediocrity begets more mediocrity. So, as Bioware...

You're missing the point entirely. I am a customer. I bought a product from a company. I found that the product was not as advertised. Further, I found a portion of the product's quality to be unsatisfactory. It is thus reasonable for me to voice my displeasure, loudly and angrily should I...

Wanna see something that will really blow your mind in all of this? This video went up over a year ago. Coincidence? Hmmm... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm82gjZDIDU

*GASP* I got the EXACT same ending... as did about 1/3 of everyone else who played the game. But humour me just this little bit then on these points: 1. Who was the 'star child', where the HELL did he come from, and why are you required to take what he says at face value as if it's gospel...

Oh. You're using all capital letters. You must be more right than anyone else. Again, it wasn't the bleakness of the ending or that it broke the formula. It simply made no sense at all. It's called a deus ex machina. It's where someone pulls something completely out of thin air right at the...

I imagine that the folks who actually sold the company to EA are quite happy with their decision. $$$!!!

The problem is, being the end of not just the game, but the entire Shepard story-arc (and the climax of the whole series building up to this point), the ending needed to be satisfying, if not amazing. It needed to be what the developers promised and sold us on. It needed to be what they...

I really had no gripes at all about anything up until the last 10 minutes. AS for Dianna Allers... She had ugly cheeks.
