BioWare points!
BioWare points are no longer used for our games, starting with Dragon Age: Inquisition and continuing on for Mass Effect: Andromeda.
you can bet your nose hair that there will be shitty DLC on day 1, pre-order exlusive DLC, vendor exclusive DLC
There is no Day 1 DLC for Mass Effect: Andromeda (nor was there for DAI). There is a pre-order item, but that pre-order item is always included with the Deluxe edition, regardless of when you purchase it. There is no vendor exclusive DLC for Mass Effect: Andromeda.
There wasn't a season pass for DA:I, was there?
We have never done a season pass for our games. They just don't work for us. |

Yeah, it was unfortunate that they named it a gameplay trailer. It was all in-engine footage, though. Frostbite FTW. |

I cannot comment on Battlefield, but this login problem is also affecting Dragon Age Origins.
We are working with EA on a solution and hope to have more information, if not a solution, within the next day or so.
Sorry for the hassle.

For me, I had just finished my first game at BioWare, MDK2 PC. I was a Line Producer, an entry-level position, recently created at BioWare. The then-Lead Programmer, Cam, called me into his office to tell me some news that most of the company didn't know yet. He said:
"We just got a license to do a new game. What is your favorite movie?"
"Star Wars," I answered quickly.
"We are doing a Star Wars game."
"Get the @#%& out of here!"
What a ride... |

Probably won't come out until next month, and they're likely going to charge for it, which will be the death of the MP.
If you release it on the 31st just to spite me, I'm going to be SO ANGRY, DEREK!!!
But if it's free, then that's awesome, and I happily stand corrected.
Creston Bazinga!
What kills the game more than anything is that EA's servers have been shit for over two weeks now, and EAware/EA doesn't do anything about it. Quite a lot of people report disconnects 3 out of 4 matches. These are things we are still actively looking into. As with all issues that are not reproducible at the office, it is difficult to find and fix these things. Some of these issues are to do with the host you are connecting to and not the EA servers themselves. There are a few fixes in the next patch to try and address this issue.
And then there's the MYRIAD of bugs that have been in since day 1 that nobody bothers to fix. Vanguard bug that glitches half the Vanguards? Eh, whatever. There are a few Vanguard fixes in the next patch.
Reave sound bug? Eh whatever. Fixed in the next patch. (If we are talking about the same bug.)
Bug where enemies get stuck outside the map, so you can't go on with the round? Eh, whatever. Some of these spawn issues have been fixed in the next patch. I cannot say that it has fixed all of them, but it should have dealt with some. |

Creston Notes date and time of this prediction. 
Free MP packs was always our plan, regardless of speculation to the contrary. I don't believe there are any plans to change that for any possible future map pack DLC. |

| The message is of course incorrect and could be saying "I like turtles." for all that it means. It is choking on some server messaging and this has nothing to do with DRM or the like. Once we wrangle the errant server under control those affected will be able to play again. Thankfully it isn't affecting many customers, but we almost have it all resolved at this time. |

Lol, so somebody put this DLC on Xbox Live at the cost of $4, and apparently a bunch of people bought it. There was an error in the Xbox Marketplace that posted an incomplete version of Resurgence for a cost. This item was not the map pack and was unpurchasable; it would result in an error if you tried. We have no confirmed reports of a successful purchase. If anyone managed to complete this purchase, have them contact us and we will work with Microsoft to get this issue reverted/resolved. |

No doubt this would not be free DLC if EA wasn't in full on damage-control mode right now.
They were originally going to charge for it but decided to give it free after all the negative publicity recently. Nope, they were always planned to be free. I know saying that won't convince of it, but I have been working on the operations side of these things and charging for them was never in the plans.
Resurgence is going to be a lot of fun and we will probably want to do more map packs in the future. |

How is a multi-player expansion the first thing released for a -until now- single player rpg? Because we don't need to do writing, VO recording, scripting, cinematic design and other SP-only work for multiplayer map packs. That is the stuff that takes up the majority of the development time. |
