The ME:A 'Story DLC Cancelled' Sinclair Networks Facebook hoax

IMDB is a like Wikipedia. Anyone can edit it and there's inconsistency quality moderation on that site.

And unlike Wikipedia articles, IMDB does not show references nor their sources.

IMDB simply can not be used as a source. However, Vienna Business listing and The Millenium Tower floor plan are however are credible sources. And in both of these places, SN doesn't exist.

Ok mister, simple question then: WHO DID MEA PATCHES ?

It's probably best to drop this 🙂

It is very safe to assume that Bioware Montreal did the patch work.

There is no evidence to suggest any 3rd party company did so.

Burden of evidence is on your pal, you're the one with claims that unfounded rumours are true.

Source on these credits.

IMDB.

How/where do you get your information? How accurate/reliable is it?
The information in IMDb comes from various sources. While we actively gather information from and verify items with studios and filmmakers, the bulk of our information is submitted by people in the industry and visitors like you.

But I'm sure it's not reliable for you. Another crap after Kotaku, Jason and Sinclair Networks...

Indeed, a website that can be edited by anyone and has no citations is not reliable

Yes, that's exactly what I said.

IMDB doesn't even reveal their citations to public, something what Wikipedia does hence their articles have credibility.
We have no idea who added this info on IMDB nor what sources they used to back up that info.

How can you trust a site that anyone can edit while has no transparency on their editing work.

If there is one thing that damage the personal image of people or institutions is uncertainty. People will simply go mad without answers and invent all the theories of this world. BW better provide some answers because leaving people without them will hurt their games more than any admission on changed DLC plan. Being straightforward helps a long way in creating trust between people.

I'm in the group of guys that despite everything enjoyed ME:A and I'm all for more SP content being released though I want to know if they plan to do so. I think that regardless of their intention to realese DLCs or not, it's only fair to their fans to let them know if they should expect more SP content or not. Avoiding the question is not going to help but will further worsen the situation potentially damaging the image of their other games. If they have bad news for their fans, it's better they release them asap before the tension (and hate) will grow out of proportion.

All in all must admit that BW PR department sucks.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I think EA handle the PR, and I'd be inclined to agree.
The whole marketing journey has been problematic.

Here's some redditor's detective work:

IMDB is a like Wikipedia. Anyone can edit it and there's inconsistency quality moderation on that site.

IMDB simply can not be used as a source. However, Vienna Business listing and The Millenium Tower floor plan are however are credible sources. And in both of these places, SN doesn't exist.

So what you're saying is that they put their name on the Imdb site, and then posted on facebook, smh.

The company definitely exists, they've worked on more games than Andromeda, with other major studios. The fact that they're an existing company that does third party work for video game developers is indisputable.

I am forced to repost it because certain individuals are blatantly ignoring the content of what I posted here.

Sinclair Networks is a developer support outfit based in Vienna, Austria. BW contracted them to do 3rd party work on MEA. SN probably worked on patches/bug fixes and they have also done work for other AAA games.

This Facebook post is very unprofessional regardless of the info's accuracy. Maybe it's a pissed off employee or maybe it was approved but this kind of shenanigans will make it extremely difficult for them to get future contract work.

EA/BW might not even clarify this situation thus leaving fandromedans stranded on speculation galaxy. This is unacceptable and a shitty move by Sinclair Networks.

Edit: the above is a summary from the BSN thread. Right now this one smells like a hoax.

Edit 2: what I gathered after some "detective" work:

No business listings for Sinclair Networks or Sinclair Netzwerke in Vienna, Austria. The Millenium Tower floor plan does not show any business by that name.

The phone number listed by SN is also listed by Cisco Austria here and here. Cisco Austria is also located at Millenium Tower, Vienna, Austria, floors 30 & 31.

Here's another example of an engineering firm located at Millennium Tower.

Most interesting of all, the first BSN post mentioning Sinclair Networks was made by the exact same person who posted the cancelled DLC post: samhain444. No other SN mentions are made by anyone else, only this user.

I call hoax. You may reach your own conclusions.

It looks like this company doesn't even exist, or at least this isn't their Facebook account.
