User blog comment:JakePT/Deception Out, Response Abysmal/@comment-737801-20120129175455

Wow. Did you see the Google Doc with the list of errors, see that here, and it's staggering. It's clear that switching authors was not only a bad decision, but one with disastrous consequences. It is evidence that Dietz either doesn't know the universe, or didn't do one bit of research on it. We even have confirmed evidence that Walters came here when he was writing, and maybe Dietz should have taken a hint. This book, while I reserve final judgment until I read it myself, has apparently as many errors as there are stars in the galaxy. If there really are this many issues, and I doubt there would be a list on Google docs if there wasn’t, than it should be, and needs to be, ejected from canon and considered fan-fiction.

There are just so many issues being listed, that to ignore them, many of which files in the face of canon and what not, that we will ultimately have to make some kind of decision about some of these issues because Dietz has forced it on us. While it is not our job to set canon, BioWare in this case has [redacted] it up beyond recognition. Who's idea was it to switch authors and bring in someone with such a clear misunderstanding, clear lack of familiarity, and clear lack of effort to maintain canon?

There has only been one comment from a mod or a dev, mainly Chris reminding people that posting links to the full novel "circumvents copyright and is considered piracy".
