What would you expect any company with a management change to say? "We're screwed run for the hills?"

I mean, yeah they told us this year, but things happen. They lost a lot of devs and suddenly had to put F2P out, so things probably got pushed back. I'm sure back in June when they said 'this year' that they weren't thinking about going F2P a few months later. Not to mention all the crap that everyone complains about probably had them push Makeb back a bit further as well.

Am I disappointed? Sure. Would I have loved to see Makeb this year, absolutely. It's not happening though, so get over it. Enjoy what we have now. If there's anything to complain about it's why subscribers have to pay for Makeb, but I digress.

*flame shield up*
Sure they can. It's called communication...something Bioware lacks. Had they told us prior to the official announcement, I wouldn't be shocked...but our last OFFICIAL word was THIS YEAR!

"Bioware sucks at communication!"
Then they try to tell us whats coming up. Then things change.
"Bioware is all liars!"

Danged if they do, danged if they don't. Oh internet people, you are a fickle mistress.

Let's not forget the other:

"Will come this year!"

Launched this year ? Community response: Rushed!
Delayed ? Community response: Liars!

And yet, honest to god, people keep finding it a surprise that major companies like EA tend to keep their lips sealed.

Sure the expansion will be released in Spring 2013...

Just like the game was released in Spring 2011.

You're misrepresenting what happened.

Bioware tells us that Makeb IS "Coming THIS YEAR" at E3.
...nothing...
...nothing...
Officially announces the expansion and offers pre-orders in December 2012!!!
...and that it'll be SPRING 2013.

Don't fault me for being shocked at the SPRING 2013 date...our last OFFICIAL statement was that it would be THIS YEAR.

Didn't see any mention of the Cathar in the expansion notes for Spring 2013. Starting to wonder if the first race addition has been "shelved".

you know I would have been fine if they said "In a year" rather than "This year".

Not at all, I think it's going to be a Cartel Market release.
