Free ME2 with DA2

[CHiLL]

Bioware are offering this, though it doesn't sound good does it? I hope this isn't going to effect ME3.

Why will it affect mass effect 3 they are giving the second one away free because you can buy it for £4 in various places (not gonna really lose any money giving it away free as most people who were gonna buy mass effect 2 would have done so by now)
So they are hoping on two things
1, You get it for free you like it you BUY the DLC's
2, You play it you like it you go and pre order MAss effect 3

Bioware seem to be struggling, and I hope this doesn't effect their ME3 development, that's what I was meaning.

I had not heard that. I thought that when Ea merged Bioware and mythic entertainment that would put all there RPG talent in one place less staff overheads and so on, And also aren't they due to Release Star wars the old Republic Very soon, even if they were struggling Mass effect 3 is a triple A title and one of the big Xbox 360's microsoft and Ea would make sure the game was released. They make a killing on things like DlC

EA forecast a gain per share over this quarter for GAAP and non-GAAP revenues, and a gain per share over the year on non-GAAP with only a small loss per share on GAAP.

Non-GAAP net revenue in the previous quarter was $1.41 billion. And forecast non-GAAP revenue over FY2011 is $3.682 to $3.782 billion.

So no, I don't think Bioware are struggling.

I'm not sure if this move is to appease people or a genuine incentive to sell more, think I will still be waiting on a GOTY edition before I bit though to much missed pre-order DLC at this point
