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

But who cares about "muddy the water", its about who is paying. Producers of movies have been altering film behind the directors back for more than a century, and they have all the right to do it because its their money, and yeah they are many movies where we don't know which part was the director will and which was not, it still happen.

If apparently Sinclair networks would be this complicated and says they refuse the studios hiring them to alter the content they make, why would studios bother with them? They could easily go to an other studio that will be more docile, they are the one paying so it would be stupid if they didn't have the rights to do what they want for the content they pay.

only thing is in this case the contract would stipulate what is SNs responsibility and what is biowares and who gets credit for what. And you can't tell me that bioware basically signed over ALL their rights.

Apples and oranges. I can't claim to understand how these co tracts generally work, and I suspect you're in the same boat. I'm not saying that it works one way or the other. I just don't see any sketchy contraditions in the SN Fb posts. They all feel legit, to me, based upon my past experiences (with persons in general, in professional life, with this game, etc...).

Of course not. They'd still accept or decline anything submitted. They'd tell SN what they wanted, possibly with much groundwork already laid. Then, SN would do their part. The contract is completed when BioWare accepts the finished product (or as in this case, terminates the project).

ok...do you think bioware would give them all the work load? I could see patching and coding but writing and voice work?

I mean look there three possibilities.

SN is right.

SN has been removed from the project and this is petty revenge.

Someone hacked them or they have a disgruntled employee and all this is wrong.

Predicted that was what happened with the Jaal romance and patch additions.  Feels good man.  

On the bright side, now we can guess who Kotaku's sources were lol

"no story DLC from us"

Hilarious. Sounds like BW and EA cancelled their contract with Sinclair. Seriously, all SN does is improve existing game play. It isn't as if EA would trust an external contractor to create DLC without the developer.

This is such a load of shit I'd be absolutely fucking amazed if EA ever worked with SN again.

That's just unreal. SN doesn't create content. They never have. They improve existing content. That someone from Sinclair would even suggest they create content is so far out there it's just bizarre.

Oh, if that's true then I reiterate; no way in hell is BioWare or EA ever going to work with Sinclair again and justifiably so. What a huge fucking fuck-up on Sinclair Networks part.

This I agree with - they're fucked.
