Firstly, I don't disagree with your opinion that what Bioware was legal and a legit buisness practice (albeit slimy). However....

2. charater models/animations
Are both done in a early pre-production stage as they are insanely easy to do and require little time.
Lol, for sure, charater models/animations are "insanely easy"... have you ever tired to do one? Doing the textures, the normal mapping, the toons topology for good animation, the rigging, the movement for everything they do, the mesh? This is complete BS, making a good model, balancing between detail and polygon count, making it "feel right" and "move right" is one of the hardest task a digital artist can take on. As guy that likes to spend some of his free time doing 3d models i can tell you doing most architectural structures is much easier than 1 good toon.

It is actually kinda pathetic how badly the video trys to manipulate the dev process to make it look like bioware lied when they didn't.
Lie: Something intended or serving to convey a false impression, you know that right?
So "The content in "From Ashes" was developed by a separate team (after the core game was finished) and not completed until well after the main game went into certification." is a lie because saying "The content in "From Ashes" was developed ... after the core game was finished" is a lie, it was developed during before the core game was finished. If you want to nitpick, he is telling a halftruth, which is just a kind of lie; however he can lie if he wants, as he is not breaking any law, nor any agreement with consumers, nor commiting perjury.

God, that image is BS, full of crap and bias. So let me link an image, since nowday kids seem to understand "posting image" as "debating":
(And that last remark was not directed at you specifically)

Your sycophantic hatred of bioware =/= debunking the picture
-You dont own the disk
-You dont own the box
-You dont own the information on the disk
Stop acting like you do.
Again, that pic is full of BS, no logic at all and very little insight, just pretty colours and a "this DLC is kk guyz" painted in "i love EA colours". And you do own the disk, and you do own the box, read your EULA, the only thing you don't own is the software, the info ON the disk, if you didn't owned the disk then second hand selling would be illegal and that's why breaking it is legal.
All this "lol you don't understand game dev" is BS. Did they lied? Yep, Are they using tactics to squeeze fanboys? Yep, Is it legal? Yep, Could they have included this without delaying? Probably not, it would have delayed the game maybe 1 week, two at most.
