Imagine the following: You have been waiting for a “right” game for months, you have seen all the trailers, searched all the previews and still read every line written about the game since it was announced. Finally the day of its release arrives and you can hardly sleep on the eve of so much anxiety. You buy the game and run home to install it, put the first DVD on your computer and the installation starts. Your mind runs like a hamster after drinking coffee when you see that finally after waiting so long the game is being installed on your beloved computer. The installation of the first DVD is finished and Steam asks you to insert the second DVD, open the box again, put the disc in and…
… You discover that the second DVD that came with the game is from a completely different game.
It may seem impossible, but this is what happened to a percentage of players who bought the physical copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Unwittingly the second DVD that came in the box is neither more nor less than Mass Effect 2, the well-known 2010 Electronic Arts RPG. That's what you just read, not only is the DVD of a totally different game and 2010 as it is from another producer, which coincidentally or not, is a competitor of Activion with regard to some FPS.
This event, which is being christened by many one of the strangest events in the history of electronic sports, has of course generated a lot of discussion in various forums, particularly those of Steam and Reddit. So far neither Activion nor Eletronic Arts have pronounced on this case but the hypothesis most pointed has been that of an error in the production line of the game, although nobody has been able to explain how a DVD of a game of another producer comes the box of a game from Activision, which has given voice to some fans of the conspiracy theories that claim that this is but a sabotage by the Electronic Arts.
The truth is that those who most benefit from this situation are the happy players who bought these copies of the game since they have in their possession an extremely rare, famous, unique and above all very desired item by everyone who collects this type of game. things that even publish your desire to get this article. Although we can also consider that EA is also gaining a lot because not only does it get free publicity, since it will launch the Mass Effect trilogy soon, but it has an excellent opportunity to sue its rival for having inadvertently or not sold a part of one of your games.
Activison must still be looking to find out how this happened, but for me someone decided to install Mass Effect 2 on one of the factory computers at the wrong time. And you, what do you think happened?
