acheros Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 the first clue is them saying "lucasarts", lucas arts is only needed because they own the IP. Bioware are the devs, and the ones who run the game. All employees on the forums and in the game are BIOWARE, employees, not lucasarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikModi Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 My first clue was the tiny but important slip-ups in grammar. If someone professional sends me a letter that looks like that, I don't want to deal with them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
