One should keep in mind that the patches are mostly being done by a 3rd party, Sinclair Networks, not Bioware. That being said, their communication with the public has been absolutely horrible. I can't find them anywhere. All I'm finding is a TV conglomerate. Wow. So, BioWare is leaving Frostbite in someone else's hands? (SIGH) Edit: I found them. They're in Austria. They've done work for a lot of publishers so I guess they're reliable. Yeah, I've been following Sinclair for a few months now and they seem to be a tight run operation. They were the ones to recommend to EA to delay ME:A until June as they stated working on the 1.05 patch on March 4th. Additionally, they started the patch we are going to get "soon" on March 20th so its been in the works for a while. Also, they have done some major work for Rockstar and UbiSoft as well and they were the ones that recommended Rockstar delay RDR2 until spring 2018. In regards to UbiSoft, they created a huge single player DLC for their Ghost Recon Wildlands game which UbiSoft promptly broke apart and are attempting to sell in chunks. Sinclair's CEO actually won a $4+ mil settlement from UbiSoft after a disputed handling and payment of their DLC content delivered to UbiSoft. The patch DLC is in good hands with Sinclair and I wouldn't be surprised if they were tapped to work on the single player DLC content. |

This is what bothers me the most as well. The patches have made the game significantly better. Why did they decide to do this so quickly AFTER the release and not before it? By the time they actually fixed the eyes all the damage had already been done. It's that easy, really. End of the fiscal year. The game had to be out by then to book the revenue for 2016. We're talking about shareholder business here and not a labor of love. Yep, EA had an empty Q4 and needed "something" there...ME:A was served up lukewarm in hopes of filling that financial void and hitting investor projections, which it appears they did as their stock just keeps going up. |

Huh? A simple Google search on EA stock performance will find several houses have downgraded to hold, while a few others have downgraded EA to sell. I'm not saying EA is in trouble. I am saying your 'facts' are "truthy". |

I am saying your 'facts' are "truthy". May 8th, day before investor meeting on May 9th, EA stock was trading at 95.73 per share...30 days later its trading at 114.36. Not sure where its "truthy"...you check the historical stock performance over the past 5 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, etc Maybe it was all a "mirage" and the stock price will "correct" as its possible 114 is high for them |

Given all the positive buzz about Sinclair Networks and the fact they made it clear the game should have been delayed so the fixes they're now working on were there right from launch, I do hope studios working with them in future actually listen to them, rather than just treating them like a 'grunt work' team. They seem to know their stuff.

Where he goes wrong is when he reads out the patch notes quoting the bald haircut, but later goes on to say the new hairstyles will be nice. It obviously hasn't sunk in yet that you have one hairstyle, that has a distinctive lack of hair.
