Started actually before that with Warcraft.Originally Posted by khalifah
Basically Blizzard wanted to make a Warhammer RTS, but did not get the license from Games Workshop. So they made their own (somewhat altered) Warhammer instead and called it Warcraft.
Was only consequent that they then used Warhammer 40k as a template for the space version known as Starcraft.

"maintaining the team´s artistic vision", I thought they were in business of making money not art?
If their artistic vision pisses customers off then they are in danger of losing money. Art doesn´t weight much there I think.
So basically they're taking the three colored ending cinematics and expanding them? Well that might clear up quite a few issues but given the narrative crashes and burns about 10 seconds after your last chat with Anderson, it's still polishing a turd.
http://blog.bioware.com/2012/04/05/m...-extended-cut/An official press release went out today announcing how we are re-prioritizing the Mass Effect 3 post release content schedule to provide a more fleshed out experience for our fans. For many of you the “Extended Cut” will help answer some questions and give closure to this chapter of the Mass Effect story. Oh and it’s at no cost to you – the fan.
Here is a mini FAQ to help you understand what the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut is and isn’t:
What can fans expect from the Extended Cut DLC?
For fans who want more closure in Mass Effect 3, the DLC will offer extended scenes that provide additional context and deeper insight to the conclusion of Commander Shepard’s journey.
Are there going to be more/different endings or ending DLCs in the future?
No. BioWare strongly believes in the team’s artistic vision for the end of this arc of the Mass Effect franchise. The extended cut DLC will expand on the existing endings, but no further ending DLC is planned.
What is BioWare adding to the ending with the Extended Cut DLC?
BioWare will expanding on the ending to Mass Effect 3 by creating additional cinematics and epilogue scenes to the existing ending sequences. The goal of these new scenes is to provide additional clarity and closure to Mass Effect 3.
When will the Extended Cut DLC be available?
Currently the Extended Cut DLC is planned for this summer, no specific date has been announced at this point.
Why are you releasing the Extended Cut DLC?
Though we remain committed and are proud of the artistic choices we made in the main game, we are aware that there are some fans who would like more closure to Mass Effect 3. The goal of the DLC is not to provide a new ending to the game, rather to offer fans additional context and answers to the end of Commander Shepard’s story.
So there you have it. Are we proud of the game we made and the team that made it? Hell yes. Are we going to change the ending of the game? No. Do we appreciate the passion and listen to the feedback delivered to us by our fans? Very much so and we are responding.
Summer is coming…
So in other words several additional scenes in 3 colored variations. Yay.
Bioware failed pretty hard and they just refuse to own up to it and make the changes required to make the ending both make sense and be decent. It's like a 5 year old kid who you caught red handed doing something wrong, then when asked "did you do this?" they actually say no... it's sadly laughable.
Well ... I TOLD YOU SO and about 3 times already.
Good luck to new DLC's for ME3
Good luck to EA. Cant wait to see more of their stocks plummet.
That sounds silly considering the fact that it's been revealed how it was entirely Casey Hudson's own "vision" and the team protested it pretty sharply. Also, I'm sick of this gibberish about a so called artistic vision or something like that. This "critically acclaimed" ending does not only brim over with plot-holes, also it shows total disregard for the very gaming principles Mass Effect is based upon.BioWare strongly believes in the team’s artistic vision for the end of this arc of the Mass Effect franchise.
A pretty label doesn't turn a turd into art. It's still a turd.
So it comes down to giving the fans a couple of neat cutscenes? I'm not going to pay money for that. I'll pirate it and may consider to get a legit copy if I find myself liking it but here's not holding breath.
It is free.
Of course noone will pay for a few cut scenes that dont do anything lol.
Ohwell, that's it then. I'm never spending money on a fvcking Bioware product ever again.
It's not Bioware it's EA.
