What I write now came from a friend of mine today and me speaking of the endings. Only wanted to share his and my opinion...
I think that there was no one speaking "Wrong in Biowares name.". The statement was well placed and on purpose made. With that heavy backfire in merely a few hours, they simply had to take it down again.
What we now got is a situation like this:
Bioware/EA has two options, to Synthetize and to destroy.
Destroy would mean that they keep ignoring us, that they simply say: "You know, 90% of the people we made the game for are actually not important.". That would mean that I, as one of those, feel utterly betrayed and that means my money is not even in the slightest worth of spending on future Bioware or EA games. Then I will also cancel my SW:ToR, as I do not see any reason to keep the sub up to give money to them.
What there actually is now is not just a small amount of people, but nearly everyone, upset with the end. We were promised 16 different endings, what we got was one ending, minor changes here and there. That actually means you lied to us, badly. I would not go as far as filling a FTC complain, but I would sure think four times in the future before even thinking of purchasing any game that is only related to EA or Bioware.
Another statement which I do not agree with is: "To such a story, there has to be a bittersweet ending.". Bittersweet does in no way mean: "Blow up the Mass relays, give billions into starvation, make your squadmates defect and create such a massive plothole.". Did you think that, considering Shepard is reunited with his LI, it still can be a bitter ending? For example, Anderson throws himself into the fire, yelling something, or showing the countless masses of people beeing killes in the space-battle?
Even if Shepard survives, there will NEVER be a "Happy" end, as so many people died for it.(Mordin,Thane,Nihlus,Saren (If Paragon.) ). Additionally, I have enough cra* going on in real-life, so I guess people deserve some good faith in games, don't they?
The other option would be synthezise. If Bioware chooses that option, they cooperate with their fans, release a new ending DLC, with multiple new endings based on our decisions (EMS <5000: Shepard lives, maybe heavy casualtys, >5000: He dies and such, we had the ideas.) and , if it will be charged for what I do not hope, they add 25% of the income to Child's Play. That would not only give them a better image, it would satisfy both the fans and the developers. The devs have happy fans and EA gets more money, the fans are happy playing the game again. While I think most of us would still be upset, paying 5$ and from it every time it is purchased 1$ goes to the charity is kind of...well...you can bear with it.
The question is: What should EA refuse the second option for? Yes, of course it would cost money to develop new content, write it, get the voice actors back, the animations and such. But it would rescue EA's and Biowares position. That Mass Effect 3 has got a rating of 2,5/5 stars on amazon is not exactly helping, it shows the opinions are actually way more downwards then upwards. I think large deal to it due to the endings. Now, if the outrage is in fact that big, they should really consider to change something.
"We intended to..." is always nice to say, but the endings you did fitted in no way into the Mass Effect universe. This is something I see often happening to hobby writters in their LARP stories. The character pursues one path exactly, for example beeing a Templar. And suddenly, he changes, becoming the mercenary, without any mention of "Why" and if it is mentioned, it does not make any sense, equal to "I wanted to try, so he is!".
So what we got now is a statement of "We do not plan to change the ending as of now...", which is like pouring oil into a fire, a "Storm" on the forums which is so solid and big that nobody can ignore, newspapers and shows reporting about it, and them beeing in a dark corner, which hopefully they will return from with new endings...not only for our pleasure, but for their sake of sales and income.
So, Hold the Line. Because of my job, I cannot actively join you, but I will donate 25$ to the charity and vote on the poll once. I am behind you.
His thoughts. I think they are interesting. He just wanted them posted.
You know, that's a good point. I'd be willing to buy a DLC if part of it went to charity. It would, strategically, be good for them and would save face in the long run
