I don't see why they didn't just release everything today. They have to be tired of questions. Didn't think they would tbh anyway so not a huge problem for me especially if we're getting that 15 minute vid later in the week anyway. Assuming things happen as we expect that is They could've did both tbh. We're exactly 5 weeks from release. Seems like a good time for a marketing barage/blitz/dump etc. Then again I know nothing about marketing so ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/RebJidSPcxyF0U0Rr0uW.png)

They do have to up their marketing schedule, and they said they would, but they don't have to release romance info. They said so many times.

I partially agree, but romance is still irrelevant to the issue. They could've done much better while still not releasing info on the LI.

The thing is they can't reveal ALL the options because there are light romances or other romance arcs from places we haven't even seen yet.
I think a good compromise is that they revealed who is available on the Tempest, who they're available for, and then say something like "and if you're not interested in any of these lovely folks, don't worry--there are plenty of other potential paramours in the Andromeda galaxy! You'll just have to explore and discover them for yourself!"

They could've done much better while still not releasing info on the LI. Who said I was talking romance specifically? That's just one brick in the dung house that is their marketing campaign. And I argue that yes it is relevant due to all the #PrettyGoodBanging they are promoting. Either tell us or shut up about it, Bioware.

That's just one brick in the dung house that is their marketing campaign. And I argue that yes it is relevant due to all the #PrettyGoodBanging they are promoting. Either tell us or shut up about it, Bioware. I was just clarifying. And no, it's not relevant to having a good marketing campaign if they reveal the romances or just tease them. I don't personally enjoy that hashtag (nor do I hate it though), but people are free to ignore their twitter and wait for the YouTube videos, interviews and hands on. They're free to tease all they want, even if it might have negative consequences.

People would be bothering them less about it and not build up too many expectations/assumptions on the characters. All that holding it off is going to do is create disapointment because so and so didn't get who they wanted for their Ryder. I can wait and not complain too much, but I can understand why this is making some people antsy enough to bother them about it.

The more people bother them, the more people follow them and the more people retweet them, the more popular they get. They know what they're doing.

Also, another thing to consider is that they know a good/large part of their fanbase like the teasing. It's not like they're receiving much criticism for it.

Do you know how many of us wasted our Christmas watching a guy drink and play music because we thought we'd get a hint of MEA? All part of their plan! We just keep coming back for more.

I'd be looking forward to their game either way. But I see your point. Let's get back to tweets

I don't see why they didn't just release everything today. They have to be tired of questions. Because they said they wouldn't, over and over, even after Peebee's 'reveal'. I doubt they didn't know they'd have been hit with tons of requests about LI's reveals if they stated they wouldn't release them. I mean, "because they said they wouldn't" is a weird excuse for not doing something. Couldn't they have just not said it? They even continued to say they wouldn't after Jaal's reveal lol. I am personally fine with them not revealing all LIs. It's gonna get leaked a few days before release by guides anyway. I'm just questioning the consistency and strategy.

Well, let's just hope that 15min gameplay comes soon and that it will show a satisfying amount of their game's features till early access. Their game's actual substance: gameplay, Multiplayer, etc. is what we could be using right now. Not repeating the same banging jokes lol
