BioWare Blog: Pre-PAX East, Swag to Fans

Chris Priestly has added a new entry to the BioWare Blog that summarizes the reasons why the company won't be manning a booth this year, while also outlining his plans to hand out BioWare swag to fans who track him down.
Now this year, BioWare doesn't have a booth. Since we have already shipped Dragon Age: Origins and Awakening as well as Mass Effect 2, it just wasn't possible for us to have a major booth (they are pricey things once you add up cost to make, shipping, equipment, staffing, etc). But even though we aren't there with a booth, I made it my mission to attend anyways. Even though I have been to the past 3 PAXs on the West coast, I am usually tied up at whatever booth we have running and don't really get much time to see the convention or get to meet with fans. So this year, I am attending for the fun of seeing the show. I plan to take in game demos, watch some of the panel discussions, meet BioWare fans (there are lots of people running around in ME2 hoodies or DAO t-shirts) and generally take in the show as a fan. Now I will be handing out Swag items to fans who find me. I will be tweeting my locations throughout the show and the first person to find me will get some cool BioWare swag just for following our biofeed on Twitter.
