BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk have apologised to fans unable to take part in the recently launched BioWare Bazaar, after having to restrict the event to US residents only at the last minute.

“We recognise that BioWare has a global community, and the Bazaar this week was originally intended to be an international event to reflect our truly global fanbase,” read an open letter from the BioWare co-founders. “Unfortunately, we encountered some last-minute legal complications around how contests can be structured in different parts of the world that prevented us from including all territories in this first event, even though that was our original goal. And for that, we sincerely apologise – our goal with this sort of celebration is to show all our fans worldwide how much we appreciate your support!”

The BioWare Bazaar was launched this week as the start of a year-long celebration for the developer’s 15th anniversary.

The good news is that BioWare is planning similar events that will be open to all fans.

“BioWare definitely really values all members of our world-wide community, no matter where you live. Accordingly, in the coming weeks, we will be announcing details about future events specifically for fans living in those territories which were excluded from participating in the first BioWare Bazaar,” explained the letter.

“The future events will be a bit different from the first Bazaar in how they’re set up and structured, but our goal is to feature the same calibre of awesome prizes and great BioWare collectibles.”

Further details will be announced in the coming weeks.
