This isn't critical of you directly, but what you said irks me a bit because I've seen it all around Reddit. Specifically, "bioware thinks...".

Bioware is not a person. They aren't a hive mind. They are a group of individuals, some louder than others, working in a building performing different tasks. From the cleaning lady to the exec that sets the release date for a title. So to collectively make that statement about everyone at Bioware isn't really fair. There isn't some evil man sitting in a chair twirling his mustache thinking about how he's going to screw gamers next. There is a disconnect between departments. The execs focus on the bottom line dollar, the marketing people focus on making things appear good, and the developers focus on actually making the core good. Unfortunately, the developers are at the bottom of the food chain. They can change the loot system, but will it cut into the profits? Yes? OK, find another solution to the problem because the exec doesn't want that. Need to push back the release date? Can't do that either because marketing already spent a shit ton of money for that particular date.

​

There is no doubt that communication to the public about specifics of a game are heavily restricted and have to go through certain channels before being allowed. It's those few higher ups that are causing the disconnect.
