User blog comment:The Milkman/Why BioWare HAS Betrayed Us/@comment-4952006-20120402200243

What it seems to me no one else is taking into account is that BioWare and EA are, is a business. Their purpose is to make money and they tell stories in order to do that. Period. We, as their fanbase and as consumers are not going to change their minds through public forum, the game has been released and they have already made a fortune, there is an almost zero chance that the ending will change and i would be utterly shocked if they did not charge the standard issue $9.99 for the dlc.

Given the nature of BioWare/EA the only viable way(as extreme as it) that I see in order to send them a message that they will actually listen to is to simply stop buying their games. Don't get me wrong, a good game is a good game, and if they produce one then it should be recognized; however the underlying problem is that the fans are giving EA/BioWare record sales through preorder alone, based solely on the successes of their prior installments(both DA2 and ME3 for example). Just look at how sharply ME3 sales dropped off after people reached the end and started pointing out how bad it was and how it ruined the series and tell me im wrong.

I mean come on, if we had all even waited for the initial play reviews to come out, and done our due diligence for this game(or DA2) like 95% of the rest of the game, and not based a decision to buy based on a history of good games we wouldnt have this problem. There wouldnt have been the angry outcry, Mass Effect would have died with a fizzle, and we all would have sighed with relief that we didnt spend the money on a bust of a game. Untill of course Gamestop, Amazon, or BestBuy started selling it in the bargain binfor $15; we are all guilty of that one too.
