I've been, for the last hour, working on a youtube video (well, audio file that will have pictures relating to the movement displaying while it's going) that basically sums up the movements position, and my own personal observations.
Unfortunately, what talent I had for public speaking when I was younger seems to have departed me...that, and it's late, so I can't speak in my normal speaking voice (it isn't so much loud as that it carries extremely well). So, that project is on hold for now >.<
We should ask Morgan Freeman to do the narration. Or offer to put up bail for George Clooney in exchange for it *snickers*
No worries though, my public speaking, although improved over my teen years, still sucks haha.
What are you saying in it by chance? Btw I think a video that states our opinion that we can all point to and hold up is a great idea.
Well first, I go into how the FTC complaint is one person and not supported by the movement. I mean, unless that's changed, that's the last thing I saw.
I then go into why we aren't being 'entitled' or 'spoiled', using an example non-gamers can understand, as well as how mature and civil everyone's being about this. I also mention the charity, and bring up the fact that if every time a group of people became...uh...disatisfied with a product they made a petition attached to a charitable donation (rather than engaging in a flame war), charities as a whole would be better off.
I also make it clear that we haven't been bashing, harassing, or insulting Bioware staff.
I also point out the flaws in the 'it's art, so you can't change it' argument, and explain in this part generally how we were, if not lied to, then mislead by all the interviews and such leading up to the game
This ties into my 3rd point, about why we dislike the endings so much. I explain the logic problems, the problem where
every choice we made doesn't matter in the end, the character problems with this, and the cookie-cutter approach to the supposedly 16 different endings.
Then, as my final point, I talk about the so-called bad precedent that Bioware would be setting (listening to paying customers and loyal fans? How HORRIBLE! *gasp*), and then generally try to end it on a positive note.
