hello, belgian fleet on the deck, any important news since... 70 pages lol? I see more and more newspapers are talking about this controversy but still no word from bioware/ea?


Jess said there will be a statement on Wednesday, its anybody's guess what that will include but an update is an update right? Its escalating too much for them to ignore us or wait until we go away. Just keep the faith, we're getting closer


So long as the statement isn't "We're STILL listening." which is about all I expect, honestly.

 A reminder to us all, besides:

Be civil.
No bashing.
Links to images instead of embedding them.
No huge quote trees.

We hold grievances with the current ending and EA/BioWare because:

  • The game's ending fails to meet what we were promised as consumers.
  • The game's ending fails to meet our expectations as fans.
  • The response from BioWare needs to change.
  • We have jobs, families, responsibilities. We dedicate our time to this cause because we genuinely care about Mass Effect and its story.
  • We want to see a product that we, as human beings, as consumers, as fans, and as players can be proud of.
  • We wish to see a conclusion to the game that does the rest of the series justice - in terms of concluding the story and providing the players with both choices and consequences to prior choices.

I wonder if that comment early mornings were a "test" of some sort to see if the reaction had slowed down. Hehe, it obviously hadnt.

Do wonder what our very own PR guy have to say about this!.

More and more German news sites and general blogs which are not necessarily gaming sites and forums in first place begin to write articles about the fans being disapointed about about the ending.

http://spiele.t-onli...3992/index?news

With the "Zeit" one of the most important newspapers in germany also written an article already last week, there is surely more to come.

Hehe, well, i was expecting something sooner, unless the bad critics etc don't affect their sales, which would be strange, or... they have absolutely nothing and are just buying time lol.

I was feeling old here, hehe

But I have 23 and work and go to college. Just get to kill Udina last night. =/

BTW, I really hate that NOBODY talks to me about the attack on Citadel. Only that damn lines. And now, Garrus, with no jealous at all, is happy that Kaidan is back!?

From The Examiner..



“At this time we don’t have any plans to change the ending but are still listening to everyone’s feedback on it.”

Who knew that just one sentence, made in the wee hours of the morning on March 19, could spark outrage? In the hour before this Facebook comment was deleted, and denounced as a mistake, fans took hold of this statement and began denouncing their brand loyalty to Bioware and/or EA. Not only do fans threaten never to buy any downloadable content for Mass Effect 3, but many are vowing never to purchase another EA product until a new Mass Effect 3 ending is announced.

Bioware staff quickly rushed from their beds to put out the raging fire this Facebook statement created. On Twitter, Jessica Merizan announced, "Someone misspoke on our Mass Effect channel. We're still gathering feedback to create content that keeps it in mind. Thx 4 understanding :)" and then locked down a Bioware forum thread about the topic stating, “This was a mistake within our internal communications, not a leak or announcement.” Another comment was left on the Mass Effect Facebook also retracting the previous statement, also reciting the party line that they are listening and ruling nothing out.... "


I really doubt someone would misspeak in Bioware's name. It was just another attempt to take us down, and when that failed, they went back to damage control as soon as possible. The USA Today also says clearly that Bioware has not reached a decision about changing it. Actually it says they haven't even considered it yet, and are only listening to feedback.

The original sentence states they have no plans on changing the endings, and that was plain true. They don't, and even now they are trying everything they can to dissuade us from carrying on with our requests and demands. However once againt Bioware underrated our reaction, and now they are paying for it.

If this goes on as it is, Bioware will pay most dearly in the future as the fans and customers walk away to new games and companies. They even removed theTWEET that caused the customers (us) to erupt in outrage. How can they say something and when it doesn't provide the ending they expected , they delete it and say it never happend? But when we want something they did to be deleted so we can pretend it never happen, they refuse to listen?

/Salute

Holding the line, and I will keep on holding. More joins us by the day, Our cause is Just..

AND WE ARE LEGION, FOR WE ARE MANY!

I'd like to share something. I love my mother. She's listened to me rant about the ending since I finished the game (she has no choice since we're stuck in the mountains together) and has not only been supportive but has told me, more than once, "to hold the line." She's never played Mass Effect and she never will, but she knows how much it means to me.

Also, she just donated to Child's Play.


that is one awesome mum <3

This here, guys. ^
We have to be civil at all times, and take people seriously.
It's not good to dismiss people's opinions by saying they are trolls.

We have to show everyone that we take our movement very seriously, and that we are always willing to talk about it.
