Lol. Seems these day Bioware can't make a game without creating some backlash and controversy over it.

Is this over them fixing that exploit glitch? Bethesda always fixed theirs too (as soon as they learned about them) - I don't remember them ever getting such a rabid response - usually just some groans like:
"Well, it was good while it lasted..."
The whole controversy seems to stem from the same "entitlement" that made those people feel they should be compensated for the time they spend making mods.
What gives?
This time it's Dragon Age Inquisition. After spending months porting the game from the new gen consoles to the old, and releasing some dlc on all platforms, Bioware have decided that they're done with the old gen consoles. No more dlc for them. They have cooked up a save importer for people willing to buy a next gen console and a new copy of the game; a group consisting of maybe three diehard Bioware fans. The rest are paddleless up the proverbial creek.
Someone's started a petition to get them to change their mind, not that they'll listen. The thread for it has turned into old genners saying that Bioware said repeatedly that they'd still get all the dlc, and new genners being entitled(read: telling old genners to shut up and upgrade, and gloating while demanding better quality dlcs because they're not working to old gen limitations anymore. And for bonus points they're calling the old genners entitled), while some pc gamers sit there being even more entitled, bashing the new genners for how their consoles are lowering the quality of their games.
As with every Bioware farce, it's a disgrace that's little more than thinly veiled greed at work, and means yet more fragmenting of their ever decreasing fanbase.
Edit: After a little reading on the Bioware forums, the thought occurs that they probably planned this from the start. Supporting the older consoles gives them an excuse to cut down on the content in the actual game, which they keep to sell as dlc later. New genners will trip over themselves to get it, because it's content the old consoles couldn't handle, and EA manage to cash in on the old consoles one last time. It doesn't matter to them about burning that bridge because they won't be making any more games for the old consoles. It seems like the sort of thing EA would do.
