Have you ever been so curious about something that you clicked that “click here to find out more” button? Or that ad that says, “Interested? You could try here!”. It is quite annoying, we do understand that, which is why we decided to create this which will inform you of how and why exactly ads work the way they do. Let’s get right into it, then.

BioWare won’t re-grant bugged achievements

As a side/related note, if you sold the Data Packets which you received from Grophets, you will need to earn those again as well. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this. -eric
