@dutchzombie aaand yet he complied with what was asked to him. He was an "artist" so at the end he had better to comply. I wonder if he would have ever dreamed of saying in the face of Julius II "You want me to paint the color to the apocalypse, too? Gimme 10 goldies more" there's plenty of books about the relationship between Michelangelo and pope Julius II, but no matter how much freedom he managed to gain, he did what he was asked for, maybe -maybe- a little more. All this "ohmygawd you cant touch this piece of art even though there will be patches and dlc all the way for months" is so hypocritical that makes me lose faith not only in Bioware and EA, but also on this site as a reference.There should be a limit in feeding customers precooked corporate defenses, as if we didnt know already that a conclusion DLC is on the way, just like Prince of Persia.

Ahaha so since when artists didnt account their costumers for their piece of art? Does anybody know A THING about art? Do you think Michelangelo entered the Vatican City, locked himself in and sprayed whatever he liked like a graffiti rogue on that ceiling? Didnt he have a customer to please to each and every whim, that questioned about each and every decision, from faces to glances to how much blue and gold he had to use, not to talk about the general theme he had to represent? Either you are ignorant, or in bad faith. This "this is art sit down and contemplate" is utter bull poop.

someone found out that there are trolling bands out there. I hope a coimpany that earns millions can have someone in their staff that can make true customers (angry as they can be) from the trolls. If the abusing people were truthful customers... they are in bad waters. For the point of entitlement: Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Dragon Age, the Witcher: all are long standing franchises that set up a story and a background, thru games. We may not be entitled to argue about the games (ah! we may not verbalize, but we can keep our money in the wallets, sure), but we are entitled to be part of the story because not doing so would be as bad as a coitus interruptus. As customers we can voice out our displease if something doesnt meet our tastes. The games are ours to be played, its not like Mr. Bioware comes into my house and plays it for me.

@jamsparrow: COD is a standard, but Sandbox was another one: and they ditched it because consoles couldnt afford to sustain its complexity: yet another CoD clone: did the gaming world need one? They dumbed it down, scaled it down, and all for multiplatform 's sake, and on top of that, plot is an entagled, uninvolving mess pivoting on the suit, the suit, the suit, prohpet prophet prophet: shut up already! Their choice, but they really FUBAR their own distinct franchise. I hope they will learn from this lesson and go back on their steps ASAP. In the meanwhile, im back to Far Cry.
