How long until DA: the game comes out and it finally receives the attention and ensuing shitstorm it so deserves? I'm gonna bet that it's either by the end of this month or the start of August.
Again, my new term for these types of games, SCAMWARE, which isn't really known to be games, is what this is. But it's okay because it's in early access and therefor gets a pass No. I'm calling bullshit.
