If this is true then I am not surprised.
If this is fake, then this puts EA/Bioware in an awkward position. If they come out and confirm that this is fake, the they would have to reassure everyone that story DLC is indeed on the way. Or, if they confirm that this is fake, but doesnt reassure people that story DLC is on tje way, it could be a soft confirmation that indeed, no story DLC is coming.

I'm marking this thread as 'Unverified, possible hoax' until hard evidence emerges either way. Doesn't seem to be as clear now, who is lying, hmmm? The very first thing you do is check for a company website. Most businesses have one. No, facebook usually don't count as company website.

The one problem with all this sleuthing is Bioware may now not tell us what's happening with DLC for a little while longer 😉

The very first thing you do is check for a company website. Most businesses have one. No, facebook usually don't count as company website. The lack of contact email was a big flag for me. The company claims to have started in 1999 but you have to message them on Facebook. Also who shows price quotes that large on their FB page (or their net worth for that matter).

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.

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?

Is this what we're saying here? Trust me, I live in Vienna. It's a local call for me to check and verify if they're based where they say they're based. They're not. The phone number provided is the Cisco helpline. Cisco holds an office in the Millennium Tower, but they haven't heard of Sinclair either. I checked with them also. There's no entry for Sinclair networks in the phonebooks of Vienna, which can also be checked online. There's no entry for Sinclair in the adressbooks of Vienna. They have no homepage, no email and a fake phone number and adress. Do I need to go on?

Yeah, it's definitely a fake. I just googled some companies listed on MEA credits, and difference is huge. They all show up at the top of results, all have professional websites with a lot of informations about company, usually links to Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. And what about Sinclair Networks? Well, beside IMDB, Facebook and BSN only result is... Sinclair Networks Group, LLC, a subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. - tv broadcasting company.

Someone build completely fake company based of fake history, and he used for that reliable informations, profiles and brands. There is a lot of rampant conjecture going on right here though. As I posted above, I known of at least one legitimate company whose Facebook page was hacked. We live in a time where cyber crimes come in all different shapes and sizes. So here's a novel suggestion - How about we (BSN) develop just an iota of patience for a little bit and give Bioware some time to sort out what has happened (with the police, if necessary). It's still early morning in Alberta... most Bioware peeps won't even be at work yet. Some things take some time.

If you check Jorg Kellar's account on FB you'll see a map he posted saying he was currently at Sinclair Networks which, allegedly, is located at Millennium Tower, Handelskai 94-96, Viena. Except that that street is not Handelskai, it is Kriehubergasse, and the only thing that I could find at that place is the International Business College Hetzendorf (temporary premises as they are renovating their campus). Seems like a very dumb mistake to make when he could've easily placed the marker on Millennium Tower but whatever.

Someone with the same username wrote IMDb's entry on Patrick Sinclair from Sinclair Networks. At this point I'm hoping someone creates a fake Patrick Sinclair account just for the lolz. XD
