If they didn't pay them, then they had a contract of some sort. Either way, how do you explain the late port of ME 2? The only way a rational person could explain that is Microsoft had a perfect 1 year exclusivity contract with Bioware(Jan 2010 - Jan 2011) and it ended and its released.

Same thing happens with Call of Duty map packs; give me a source where they say MS pays Activision. It is common sense that they pay. 


that is completely and utterly different. ME2 wasnt released straight away imo because they had to figure out how to get passed the whole pesky MS owning Mass Effect 1 license thing haha


That's impossible. 1 year to make a comic? Or to even think of that solution?

It is running on ME 3 engine, and not on ME 2 engine like the 360 version. Its obvious that they knew they had a lot of time for the PS3 release, so not only did they work on their engine in the given time, they used the newer engine for the PS3 version along with the 15 minute comic.

They would have released the game earlier on the PS3 if it was just the comic thing.
