In April Retake Mass Effect 3 movement may face unity issue.
While we are all united about necessity for Bioware to change the endings, many people have different opinions whether hopefully coming DLC is free or we should pay for it.
I fear that Bioware may play with us to crush that unity.
They'll offer us some DLC and vaguely say that it addresses our concerns about total lack of promised endings.
They'll say "it is our response for fanbase protest; buy it for 10$".
Some say "hell with it", some will outright buy DLC.
Bioware might then say that ReME3 is divided, because some of us pay for content, some not.
I fear we have only ONE chance to make it right. If they offer us only some - forgive me saying it - garbage explanation about Godchild and Normandy leaving they will say "we did want You wanted and dealt with the issue, there will no more changes".
What do You think?
Oh I agree. April be our own personal crucible (no pun intended, I swear!). Most of us are standing strong and are putting our foot down, but just as the Dr. M post made a lot of people shout "Victory!" from the rooftops, there will be people who will accept any DLC just so this madness can end. It's inevitable, unfortunately. Keeping people invested in our cause and keeping their morale up (kudos to all the parodies, memes and fan videos, by the way) is important.
When April comes around and we see what is planned, we just have to adjust our strategy from there. There is really no way of really knowing right now what's around the corner and keeping our resolve is more crucial than ever. "Holding the line" is apt for us because this IS going to be a long battle.
I've been ranting and raving to my partner about this whole thing (he hates the endings as well) but he also works for a large corporation and he reminded me that there is no such thing as "immediate action" in the world of corporate business, especially ones like Bioware that are subsidiaries of larger corporations. Things get passed through a slow chain of command and many times get delayed by corporate red tape. With PAX on the way, the articles coming up about the endings and RME, they are pressed for time and answers and have to delay as long as they can. Sadly, it's just the nature of finance.
But you can't let it get to you! The fight may be long, but there are so many passionate people supporting this, papers covering this, that the enthusiasm and fervor becomes contagious. Take comfort in the people involved to hold you up because in the end, standing up for something you believe in is worth all the headaches in the world.
