Hahahahaha....this is great! Amazon will not only steal prob millions of customers from gamestop with a move like this, but also give developers and publishers a reason to fear putting out half ass cash grabs. One of the gaming industries biggest protections against consumer retaliation is that they could hype a game, sucker people and get away with it as once you buy it and open it you're stuck with it. Not anymore haha!



Bioware better get crackin on fixing this games conclusion, lol its sales numbers are about to start rolling backwards its a race against the clock!! LOL



Big ups to Amazon for looking out!! "Dragon Age 2 was a train wreck the entire game, ME3 was like screaming rollercoaster that ran out of track and everyone died." -nIMr0D888 Amazon is now giving full refunds for opened copies of the game for anyone that is dissatisfied with the product, even the collectors editionshttp://www.amazon.com/forum/video%20games?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1T1DM93QU4XL1&cdThread=Tx1QHJODBBRY8NFHahahahaha....this is great!

Amazon is willing to take the hit for customer satisfaction. While it's very awesome of Amazon willing to do this, this doesn't really effect EA in terms of money. "Cid is badass. He's old and still crackin'. He can fight underwater with a lit cigarette in his mouth. He drinks the goddamn tea." -Gaming_Mastery Amazon is giving refunds.

I'd say its as equally effective in hitting EA right where it hurts, all those returned copies means all those lost multiplayer microtransactions, all those lost future DLC mission sales, and when a game gets press that its so bad that retailers do something thats damn near UNPRECEDENTED in gaming retail, and give a full refund for an OPENED game just because IT SUCKS, thats like a goddamn PR nuclear wasteland right there



Bioware really thought they could bluff their balls off and keep playing people, looks like they didnt take this seriously enough. Hope theyre happy with the 2 weeks of sales they got cuz they just drove themselves off a cliff trying to stall for more



I'm literally laughing my ass off, this is too good I'm loving how their cocky bold face lying and condescending attitude toward their customers is blowing up in their faces like a shotgun

It does affects EA. Amazon is a huge retailer and do you think that if Amazon gets to give mass refunds because of customer backlash they will restock their ME3 copies? http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=Windsupernova

While a big sucker punch to their image, the 3.5 million shipped means that EA already made a profit from retailers already.



And people who bought digitally can't do anything about their copy. My Little Pony: Greatest show ever. Sadly, it doesn't affect EA much.While a big sucker punch to their image, the 3.5 million shipped means that EA already made a profit from retailers already.And people who bought digitally can't do anything about their copy.

Thats nice of them, but don't you think you perhaps should wait until the official Bioware response on the matter?. Just saying.

The lack of response IS the response. I've worked in the industry for nearly a decade. Based on what I found out today there is no reason to keep it. "





Then when asked to elaborate he says hes under NDA and doesnt want to risk losing early access to other EA games so he cant give details.



Guess Biowares gonna go for broke with not giving a **** about what people want and just continue forward with whatever greedy scheme they had planned! Sucks for them, this games gonna go down as getting more hate than Duke Nukem Forever, and thats saying something! Guardian Gamer X

"CE's verbal cruelty is only matched by an eight-armed robot beating multiple baby seals."-PursuitandTie Also, for those waiting on Biowares 'Official Response', dont hold your breath for getting what we all know they SHOULD do. The OP of this thread says he works in the industry, but hes under NDA and cant give specifics. But apparently after what he heard today regarding this game hes lost any reason to hold onto it. So it sounds like Bioware is gonna go the 'stick to their guns and continue lying and bluffing and try to segway to hyping thier already planned DLC that they just HAD to advertise blatantly during the "ending" 'http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/10085608/1On the first page you'll see-"SimonM72 wrote...Thats nice of them, but don't you think you perhaps should wait until the official Bioware response on the matter?.

Just curious, how reliable is that guy? I have met many "industry insiders" which turns out is a lingo for gamestop manager......



Especially the "Oh trust me, I know but I can't really give details lol" part doesn't sounds too good for me haha.

All that hate is what makes me think they would have to be stupid to not do anything. Contrary to popular belief companies with a good business sense do treat this kind of stuff with care. I mean, all games get haters who are very vocal but to get to the point a major retailer offers refunds... http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=Windsupernova
