Dunno - is it?

I recently ordered a couple of things from the official BioWare Store and the return address said ThinkGeek. Considering their additional partnership with Sanshee, perhaps they have just decided that it's better to outsource their merch to other companies who are in the business of selling merch rather than do it themselves. If that's actually the reason, it seems a sound business decision.

I'm just disappointed I wasn't able to buy a Dorian giclee print when they still had them ages ago, and they never re-stocked. :sob:

Nothing about that was phrased as, or intended to be, an apology. I'm actually a bit confused as to why you'd even think that tbh.

No one at Bioware makes the decisions about whether their games justify DLC. The way its structured also suggest it isn't intended to be an apology, you want an immediate, salient concern addressed and you want someone or something to take personal responsibility in an apology. This makes sure to clarify the timeline (Hudson is untarnished, he joined after MEA was released! Rejoice at your New (old) Hope!), is in past tense (it's over now, no need to get too upset) and puts Bioware and its fans in the same powerless boat as the (implicit) result of decisions or actions beyond both of them (EA). Also, if you're expecting an apology from Casey Hudson as a person it doesn't make much sense since he wasn't involved in MEA and if you're seeing him as an avatar of the studio it doesn't make much sense to hold his perceived personal flaws against them.

Not even a vaguely competent PR person would have let this escape their claws if it was intended as an apology. It's exactly what it says on the tin, (briefly) addressing past concerns, telling you why the future will be different (new management and Lessons Learned) and orients you towards that future. 

Not at all, he just said that they were upset about being unable to provide story DLC for Andromeda.  That’s it.

His statements more seem aimed at assuring us that Bioware won’t fall down the rabbit hole Montreal did when they wasted three years experimenting with procedural generation tech, pursuing novel features before focusing on story and characters.

Perhaps he should be.

Only shipping to the US.

Well, it's just until the end of April. No coin until May. RIP me.

Oh yeah, probably a couple of times before. That said, I think this is my favorite Cassandra cosplay.
