So what we're saying is that Sinclair Networks created a fake facebook page years ago, posted about doing patchwork before the game came out, fudged info on dozens of IMDB pages to look legit because they knew the game was going to have a bad reception before it came out, and they wanted to set up this hoax months later.Is this what we're saying here? Yes. Some people have way to much free time on their hands...fuck the Internet sometimes geez. This reminds of the "real" in a sense, company Goop. I am not kidding it's a "real" name. Here's some late night awesomeness from Colbert on it:

Yeah, where's suikoden ?? Still out doing his victory march? Hasn't yet discovered that it was an all elaborate hoax and he fell for it harder than anyone? Maybe next time.

But it goes to show the damage social media can do. Hardly anyone checks their feeds. They just believe what they read. Works the same with politics.

Patrick Sinclair posted the same thing in a closed Mass Effect Andromeda community sight: "Mass Effect Andromeda story expansions have officially been cancelled and all is going out into the new release "Anthem". The only content that will come to MEA will be the recurring Apex missions." So, if the owner of the company is acknowledging it... also, where can we find Patrick Sinclairs posts, if he exists?

Ok, it's fake. No one at Millenium Tower ever heard about Sinclair Networks. I was wrong, I admit. Mr Croatsky was right. From the other hand, someone put a lot of effort to prepare that hoax. Also the whole "Sinclair Networks" should be reported, cause all their accounts including IMDB are using false information which are based on reliable names and companies. They stuck a facebook page up, threw some stock pictures at it and said stuff that people (for whatever reason) wanted to hear. It's really not that big a deal. The worrying thing is how people took this no-name company with no real presence over the word of bioware developers. We had people on here literally calling him a liar because he'd never heard of this random company that apparently worked on every game in history and ran by a guy who looked like an actor from the Vampire Diaries. If nothing else, it pretty much highlights what a lot have been saying about the completely unwarranted hate MEA gets.

I personally am looking forward to the many YouTube videos that will proclaim this as truth because Facebook told them so. I doubt any video will be made on this, as Americans and Canadians are waking up just now. Since this was pretty much confirmed as hoax right now and overwhelming majority of content creators on Youtube about Bioware stuff are Americans and Canadians, I think this will not be mentioned outside of BSN and /r/masseffect. I'm actually waiting for the video of pure gloating from Letalis. Company logo = stock image from Shutterstock... Fascinating stuff... Interestingly enough, making adjustments in photoshop such as removing a watermark was one of the things they taught me in high school... In a legitimate class. Yeah, where's suikoden ?? Still out doing his victory march? Hasn't yet discovered that it was an all elaborate hoax and he fell for it harder than anyone? Maybe next time. You know the saying. The bigger they are...

Hoax or no. It's going to be a few years before you see MEA dlc. By then, half of you might not even care about MEA

Although we had already established it is a hoax, here's an overall summary from reddit.

I had read about them on some community Facebook Mass Effect pages. The moderators there gave them some credence. I figured they were either legit or a hoax which is why I brought it over to this board. The peeps here are nicely cynical and would track down the truth as opposed to trying to get something out BioWare/EA employees

Yep, as I was editing my previous post, I noticed all FB links went private or deleted. Probably got cold feet. I alerted two different companies to someone using their adresses or phone numbers for a fake account on FB. I don't really think they will react to that, but the con went bust in any case. The IMDB page is still up by the way.

What are Sinclair Networks lying about? If Ian says he doesn't know them, I'm taking that as a true and accurate statement. www.imdb.com/company/co0623436/They're listed as working on Andromeda as well as dozens of other games. He's clearly lying in an attempt to shove all this under the rug. Either that or the management chain at Bioware is in complete chaos where nobody knows what's going on. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HilariousInHindsight
