#SAVETHEQUARIANS - DLC Support Hub

An NDA to cover lack of existing content doesn't make any sense, you just avoid a small backlash now to get a huge one later on (because it will happen if your thesis is correct) that might affect how your company is perceived and undermining the trust of your customers. You clearly underestimate how much fans tend to remember these kind of things and how much this is going to be bad for BW in terms of PR. I hope they aren't that stupid, because let's be honest hiding the fact they aren't producing SP DLCs to sell a couple of copies more at a discounted price (so hardly any profit) it will be a nail on the coffin for this company credibility. You want to revitalize the game and make more sales? You add more content.

There's also some #SavetheQuarians in there though...so not all bad.

That's exactly the point. I don't, can't, won't believe that BW is using that NDA to mislead their customers and make them thinking there is still content to be released just to sell a bunch of extra copies. That's so short-sighted that I can't believe they would be doing that.

These are the two options:

1)Either the NDA is in place to announce something later
2) or the NDA is there to avoid telling us that they aren't working on DLC so to postpone the backlash now and sell a couple of extra copies. Implicitly leaving your customers to believe additional content is on development when it's not.

These are the two scenarios. The first one sound logical and ethical.
The second one instead would achieve very little for the great PR loss that would cause as:
a)you won't avoid the backlash which will become even larger when the lack of additional content become apparent
b)ultimately you'll sell less copies than you would had BW provided more DLCs
c)you lose credibility and alienate those people that actually bought and enjoyed your game.

Assuming an ethical business approach I simply can't understand what would be the motives of BW hiding lack of content for this game. Had they come out immediately and said that no there is not going to be more content, I think everyone would have appreciated the honesty albeit with great displeasure.

We shall see.

What do you think this means?

What do you think this means?

Eh, it's four months after launch. If they're not going to sell it now they'll give it to Goodwill. Target does this. And apparently this kind of thing was common after ME3, too.

So it's basically a nothingburger and the detractors are exaggerating again?

Genetic fallacy.
