A day after Canada Day, one of the biggest national holidays in Canada, EA|Bioware|Mythic announces that they are doing 4-5 days of celebration from Friday-Tuesday for the American July 4th celebration.
It seems to me like it would not have been that big of a deal to include 1 additional day and let the Canadian subscribers get in on their holiday as well.
While this does rub me the wrong way and I do feel a bit dis-respected, I post this more to bring up the type of conversation that I created this blog for. What would prompt a gaming company to make a decision like this? I find it hard to believe that EA|Bioware|Mythic was unaware of Canada Day, so was it a business decision to not include it so that they would not have issues with other countries holidays expecting to be included or celebrated? Other reasons perhaps?
Either way, Happy Canada Day and Fourth of July to Canadian’s and Americans. Enjoy your bonus exp and renown!
ps. “EA|Bioware|Mythic hates Canada” t-shirts and bumper stickers are still in production, but will be available for purchase soon!
