Dragon Age Ultimate Edition Misplaces an Expansion on Its Way to Europe

[Wired_Head]

Illegal... Aright, so to do something by mistake, and actually calling oneself out on it, and making best effort to correct the mistake is illegal.

Because it HAS to be an mistake, what possible financial gain could they have from excluding that DLC from the cd? None as it would eventually be discovered and they would have to correct it anyway.

But in the end I guess it says more about you, that you want to sue them for such a minor thing, which they are making best effort to correct, then anything else.

Wish I was a European PS3 player. I'd sue Bioware for false advertising so damn fast. I'm surprised it makes no mention of anyone doing that, does Europe not have a law for that ?

You'd sue them for that?

Well yeah why not. If it said on the disc "includes Return to Ostagar expansion", I bought it, and it did not have the promised DLC. I would immediately get in touch with a lawyer.

Well, because it's kind of a douchebag thing to do. Suing a company over a $4 DLC is just greedy and a waste of time.

No, cheating people out of what they've paid for is a douchebag and greedy thing to do. And the settlement from the lawsuit would make it well worth the time.

Irregardless of how much it costs it's not just an "error" it's illegal.

They may be trying to fix it but honestly what else can they do ? Say they intentionally didn't include it, and have no intention of compensating the customer ? The court would hit them so damn hard it almost wouldn't be funny.

Except they are trying to re-compensate the customer, it's just hard to fix an error without relying on online services to help fix it.

And about the whole "The settlement would make it worth the time" thing, I'm not saying it's a waste of time for you. I'm saying it's a waste of time for everyone else involved. Even if someone purposely cheated someone else out of four dollars, the other person suing them for hundreds of thousands of dollars would be a total dick move.

This is the most nonsensical post I've seen in weeks. They made a mistake, they're adequately compensating players for that mistake, you wouldn't see a penny in the US or anywhere in Europe.

You compare unfavorably to a Snickers bar.

You know Europe isn't a single country, right? All countries have their own laws...

P.S. And the open borders allow anyone to smuggle substances(like marijuana) that are controlled in some(but not all) of the European countries...

Well, that's embarrassing. At least they're doing something about it, but as best practise they should really make it a free download so people wouldn't have to go through any hazzle (I'd think interest in buying it separately has long passed by now anyway), and offer some replacement hard copy discs for those few who can't hook their PS3 up to the internet.

There are laws against false advertising (with considerable fines attached), and you could certainly get your money back, but European compensation law is generally sane enough that you can't sue someone for incredible amounts due to not getting a piece of DLC for your PS3.

That's another thing. Their solution is bs. Offering the content on an online service is a pathetic fix. They should re-release the ultimate edition and replace every defective copy. This also shows that they have absolutely no respect for their fanbase because as far as I'm concerned no competent person took the time to actually check the quality of the product that was being distributed. But it's not like quality assurance ever mattered to Bioware before. -zing-

This is by no means their best effort to correct it. It's a lazy attempt at avoiding a class-action lawsuit.

You do realize that re-releasing it would cost quite a bit of money, right? Of course, from what I've seen, you're an idiot, so I can't really expect you to have known that in the first place.

Of course I know re-releasing it would cost quite a bit of money. The people paid for a hard disc that includes the Return to Ostagar dlc. They deserve to receive a hard disk with the Return to Ostagar dlc on it. Stop thinking like a wallet with legs for once in your life.

I'll stop thinking like a wallet with legs when you stop being so greedy. I can understand being mad and wanting fair compensation, but that's what Bioware's trying to do, and suing them won't benefit anybody but yourself.
