My favorite part of the comments is everyone acting like you're spamming this stuff directly onto people's walls. It'll show up in the news feed. It's really easy to ignore, or even block things there.
Well it's 4 days right? THey need 250,000 people to share this status every day, each day. assume the average person has 100-200 friends on facebook... That's potentially 50,000,000 that are going to see this (obviously there are cross overs in friends). Each day. For 4 days. You can't blame them for trying.kalt_13 said:
I might do this the first day, but then I'll just say "Eh, did my part"
I don't really do undercover work anymore at 30 I'm too old for the types of gangs we have around here. (Weird fact, Biker gangs tend to have much older members than traditional 'street gangs') That would be a good reason though. Truth is, I just don't like it.Jamash said:
Until about a year ago [a href=http://www.wowt.com/home/headlines/88425737.html]When this[/a] [a href=http://www.fox8.com/news/wjw-news-ohio-youth-prison-guard-facebook-slurs,0,1207783.story]sort of thing[/a] [a href=http://www.policeone.com/police-technology/articles/1776582-Two-Wash-officers-fired-over-Facebook-indiscretions/] started happening[/a] no one really gave a crap. Now most departments I know of have a general 'if you wouldn't say it in public don't say it online' type rule it usually falls under a 'representing the department' general rule.
Some, not ours, do have official written policies specifically for facebook, myspace and so on.
Yeah... I already visit facebook every day, but I'm not going to pester people (and myself for that matter) by sharing every stupid tweet.Stiffkittin said:
If they succeed, everybody with a Bioware Social account, an EA account, a Steam/PSN/XBL gold account and who has the time (and luck) to make them all work together.CrustyOatmeal said:
If not, Bioware effectively says "pirate this, you get more content then the idiots who spent money on this!"
This is getting ridiculous, they should give their fans the third book just for accomplishing that whole month's advertising in a single week.
We're not your trained monkeys EA, I won't be participating in this and frankly if Dragon Age 1 is any indication, these unlockables could be so powerful they damage the integrity of the game.

Guys, quit your bitching. You're going on and on like this is the worst thing to ever happen, ever.
It isn't.
It only needs 50,000 people to do it per day (except the last one; not quite sure what '1 million impressions' are on Facebook EDIT: it seems it's shares, reads, views etc.), and we'll easily get that. And it really isn't bothering on either end; it just goes in the feed once per day, and that'll be drowned out of sight almost instantly by people nagging and whining and posting bad song lyrics. Meanwhile, the word of the game gets spread briefly, gamers get a new shiny thing to appease them, and Bioware gets more money and continues to make great games. Works out for all of us, I feel.

lol @ everyone complaining
If you don't want to do it or don't use Facebook, then don't sweat it. But they have a right to market their game and using the world's largest and most ubiquitous social network is a no-brainer. It's funny how everyone cries bloody murder when a company does something to market its product, as if our world wasn't already saturated with marketing and crass consumerism.
I will share the posts because I would like the item.

These just buff your character and add extras to the experience. The game is not gimped without them unless you find yourself unable to play without a little extra cash or XP. It would be one thing if they were withholding quests or characters, but these are just little tomes with perks. Sure they're nice, but not essential to the gameplay.Straying Bullet said:
