So book tie-ins are not anything new. Neither is fan rage. What happens when you combine the two? Horrible things.
Anyone not reading that article here is the rundown: there recently came out a Mass Effect tie in novel. The novel is one of a few novels that exist in tandem with the games. What makes this one different is that it was written by some one not directly connected with the game.
And he failed at his job.
Here is a list of the number of things wrong with it.
This is the worst kind of writing. What the hell was this guy thinking? How could he get so many basic things wrong with it? Isn't one of the ways you get the job of doing the tie-in novel by showing that you know the universe? How could this guy be the one who got the job? Does he still have a job?
Well, Bioware is fixing it.
