We are not the minority. We are the majority.

We are the fans who support this company, who believe in it, who know what greatness it's capable of. We are the ones who are passionate about Mass Effect, the sci fi game series that has been the most epic game of our generation, and all generations preceeding it.

We are the ones standing tall against the darkness of greed that wants to envelope this, perhaps our most beloved of game producers...and if that post is true, if it is the gods honest truth of the situation, now we are needed more than ever.

So many times we, the gamers, have seen inferior products on the shelves of stores at premium prices...and we have bought them, because there was no other option. Games over the years have lost the creativity, the drive, becoming former shells of themselves. Mass Effect in its entireity was not only the last, best hope for quality product, it was the springboard for a new beginning in the industry.

Had the series ended on a high note, it would have been unrivaled, without peer...it would have been an example for -all- game companies to follow. The entire industry to follow. If Bioware kept producing games of its quality, there would be no question of its superiority, and its loyal fanbase would grow. The others would HAVE to take notice.

They are stumbling now, in the darkness of greed...we must not let them falter, we must continue to have our voices heard.

We must hold the line...for if we don't...

Who will?

That there was a whole lotta words for saying not much at all.

More closure, more answers and more time to say goodbye to our stories would be awesome, but I'd still like the added bonus of the ending not being...you know - bad. And why would anything other than a "bittersweet" ending "betray the agonizing decisions Shepard had to make"? Still sounds like nothing but PR talk riding on the insinuation that everyone is just so sad to see Mass Effect end that we can't accept a perfectly good ending.

Well, so we've gotten our first official statement from the Big Man with nothing of note in it. I agree with my fellows-in-arms:

Make them say yes, or make them say no. Do not be placated. Hold the Line.

So now we will get pages of people with false hope of hidden meaning in Casey's post. Lets break it down in a youtube video

They are happy with the ending, they believe that many agree with them, they believe we are the minority and 50k negative votes is nothing compared to 3.5M people buying the game.

ONCE AGAIN guys, it's trained PR spin chat. Do not let it affect you in any way. Have a drink and focus. Think about all the inexcusable things wrong with the ending. No matter what happens, hold the line.

He is completely ignoring all the plot holes and OBVIOUS CRAP that is wrong with the ending, intentionally. He is using buzzwords like "fan feedback" and "we" to try to placate us. He needs to understand that it's not going to work.

He's trying to push the idea that the ending is not almost universally disliked to crush our hopes. It will not work. Strength of mind people. WE ARE THE 98%

Does anyone still have a link to the article describing the PR process? That'd be a good thing to link alongside this.

EXCUSE ME

We have not failed until they explicitly say "The ending of the series is what we have given you, you're not getting anything else to change it"

Until then we stand firm, we stand strong, we stand resolute and we hold. the. bloody. line.


Thank you.

reposting because this is absolutly brilliant.

[bluewolv1970]

well Casey Hudson basically confirmed that the endings stay and we will be getting meaningless middle of the story dlc (but hey it is more shepard) shoved at us and MP...

[Cybermortis]

We are NOT losing. We have increasing support from various media outlets - including most importantly Forbes...who are probably going to tear his comments apart for the short-sighted garbage they are. What they want is for us to give up, so everything can be quietly forgotten and they can pretend the game was a huge success and they did not wrong.

What we do is ignore him. He clearly has less grasp of reality than the cast of Jersey Shore, and more importantly at the end of the day he is NOT the one who'll get to make the call about an ending DLC. We hold and his bosses are going to tell him in no uncertain terms to make a bloody ending DLC while Bioware has some customers left.

The alternative is that Bioware loses a HUGE number of its customers, this is reported and noticed by investors who will ALSO be reading about how those customers are unlikely to ever go back to BW. The Share price drops like a stone, BW/EA goes into bust and another company comes along, buys the rights to Mass Effect and releases an ending DLC so they can continue making games in that setting.

Game Over. Bye bye bioware

He said nothing concrete. In fact he said, that we as a community will influence further content! So: Be patient and hold the line!

he is saying that 99% of the players loved the ending.
what can we possibly expect after a statement such as this?
if he "thinks" everybody loved the ending he won't change it.

If anything, we need to keep saying what he have been more now. We have to show them that they were entirely misguided when they thought this would be well received. We can't let the series go down like this, too much has been invested.

Not one step back! HOLD THE LINE!

I never knew germany bombed pearl harbor.

They are among us

^ This.

All the statement is doing is saying 'We hear you.' No answers, but veiled attempts at trying to make us lose faith in the cause. Honestly, even if we never get a better ending, I would like an explanation of the ending that we got. Until then, I will hold the line.
