I've just read the news...I'll stand till the official announcement at PAX tommorow. Then I'll see where I stand. Still no matter what happens I have thoroughly enjoyed talking with all of you and the journey we have taken

So for possibly the last time HOLD THE LINE.

Something else just occurred to me, I hope the people from EA/BW that are going to PAX have riot shields and body armor.

Before that statement, there was a chance things could get messy, after that statement, I don't see how they'll avoid a near riot (not that I condone it one bit).

You couldn't pay me enough to stand up there with an EA/BW shirt on at this point. That would be like strapping steak to my butt and tossing me in a tiger cage.

Idk. Peace and love and all that hippy stuff got us absolutely no where. Maybe its time for some sexy rage. I'd rather be known as psychotic than entitled.

Rofl.. I am -never- posting anything on here again without seeing if it's been posted elsewhere first... The internet is crazy, they found my cell phone number, I got 138 text messages in 30 minutes, finally blocked long distance SMS to get it to stop ringing, co-workers were killing themselves laughing at me.

What did you do? 
How did people even find your number?!

Go to sleep, it might help a bit... I'm worried about you now xHezz...

My sleep has been crappy since I completed ME3 not sure it will help but maybe you're right.

Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Been through worse.

So SSV Auckland Signing off for the night.

Hold The Line I guess....

It is a shame, that Alpha Protocol IP fell. Perhaps it was inferior to previous Mass Effects...but hell, their ending was pretty awesome compared to "Artistic Integrity".

Yup, I loved AP despite all it's flaws...

Mass Effect... what a waste of time and money and passion... For nothing.

The line will be held.

I just had a funny thought 18 months from now they announce ME4 and they ask the 'fan base' what they would like to see in the game people should turn round and say could we have 3 endings but could they be in orange pink and yellow.

Haha!! No, I want purple, orange, and dark blue.

Also, I want this song on the credits  

[Yuoaman]

And apparently Bioware still doesn't quite get it.

Sad ****.

[TheSimbul]

This is a disgrace. Blatant lying and misleading. False advertising, patronizing and condescending attitude towards customers...

I'm done with Bioware. I do not give a **** what they put out I WILL NEVER BUY A PRODUCT WITH YOUR BRAND ON IT AGAIN.

I hope they get their asses handed to them at PAX. Bring on the riots, we have nothing to lose anymore...obviously they don't respect us or our rights as customers, why should we treat them any differently!?

Shame on you Bioware, SHAME ON YOU!

Forgive me for this...

I think the next drive should be to accumulate $750M and give it to me.

http://kotaku.com/309937/ea-buys-bioware-pandemic

EA will pay up to $620 million in cash to the stockholders of VG Holding Corp. and will issue up to an additional $155 million in equity to certain employees of VG Holding Corp., which will be subject to time-based or performance-based vesting criteria. EA will also assume outstanding VG Holding Corp. stock options. In addition, EA has agreed to lend VG Holding Corp. up to $35 million through the closing of the acquisition.

I would take the money and buy back BioWare. I would then take the company public and award shares to each contributor equal in value to the amount each person contributed to the cause.

I would humbly request to remain as CEO.

As CEO of BioWare, my focus would be on client satisfaction. You do not have a business without your clients. We could build a partnership with our clients such that they become stakeholders in our operation. As stakeholders, they have little reason to pirate our products (it only hurts them), so all these DRM policies EA has enacted will not be carried forward in future BioWare products.

We will be thought leaders of the video game industry. We will show the industry that respecting your clients and delivering quality products is the ultimate way to succeed in this emerging industry.

Additionally, we will continue the charitable initiatives established by the Retake Mass Effect Movement; it is critically important that the modern corporation acknowledge its social responsibilities.

There is no PR tactic or advertising avenue that can compete with a socially responsible business model.

We will stand by our products and our consumers. We will be the symbol of integrity and quality that all other game companies and possible even all other software companies will strive to emulate.

Most importantly, we must never forget the chasm from which this new BioWare arose. We must never repeat the mistakes of our predecessors, and so shall we learn from their successes.

- Zwei, Future CEO of BioWare

This is damage control, that DLC was not in store, they felt they had to do it before the huge proportion the retake movement was taking.
And they do it because they are intent on exploiting the mass effect universe for future games.
But they chose not to modify the endings and we all have to respect it.

Be glad of what you've accomplished, it's unprecedented in video game industry. But thinking you will get more is delusion.

That's not true. Look at FO3. They actually changed the ending, after consumer complains. And they were courageous enough to admit it. I think Bethesda showed actual fan loyalty there. So no, I'm not content with what BioWare's doing. They lied to us via their advertising, they got snotty and claimed it was artistic integrity that is at stake (again a lie) and now they change the ending only in such a slight way that it seems like an insult to their fan-base. Release date summer? Is that June? July? May? I don't know, I don't care. I don't want to wait that long for a DLC which ignores the massive plot-holes and non-sensical / illogical story elements. That is not damage control. I would bet that those which seek more closure will not be satisfied by it. I sure as hell won't.

I will still support the #RetakeME3 movement. But until they admit that the ending is nonsensical, I will boycott BioWare.

All they are trying to do is appease us, or create a fracture in the Retake Movement.
I'm telling you right now. I'm not appeased at all and I'll be damned before I let anyone sway me.

Hold the Line.

This may be a bone they are throwing at us, but, since their decision was already made, i don't think there is any point in holding the line anymore........

Hm, you got me an idea. Just received my new bow for LARP today. I can aswell put my copy of ME3 on a piece of wood and use it as target practice. It would serve a purpose of "Satisfaction" then...

I would hate to be the BIOwear guy's going to Pax.

Bioware it was nice while it lasted but I'm afrade It's not working out.

If i wanted to be depressed all i would have to do it look at my life and all the medical problems i'm having right now.

I'll give my money to a company who deserves It ,I did just buy a second copy of Skyrim just so i can use mod's to get even more playtime out of it,

As Somone who is an artisist I find you reasoning of Artistic Vision Insulting "we ripped of Deus EX changed it a little and called it our but our fan dont understand it because there slow and stupid"

Unfortunately I was the one who threw the initial announcement up on the forum here haha.  I was sitting in Tim Hortons (donut shop up here) waiting for my breakfast and surfing EA/Google news and saw the thing come over, so I came on over here and threw it up thinking that it HAD to have already been spread around.. apparently not..  I'm guessing they googled and 411'd my name/twitter or something, I don't have my cell phone floating around a lot of places. 

15 minutes later and my phone started ringing off the hook as I got SMS's accusing me of 'trolling' and 'making it up' despite the link being marke****ch and shortly after, investors.ea.com lol.  It's been like that all morning.  I unblocked Long distance SMSing about 20 minutes ago and it's trickled down to 2 SMS's since.  Hoping it's moved on.. I feel like I accidentally stepped off the line and ended up in the target zone here.  I understand the fear Bioware must feel on the receiving end of our rage now hahaha.

Actually no, they lost - they are just too short$ighted to see that presently.
Good luck with the Mass Effect™ brand in the future Bioware!, something tells me you are really going to need it.

[Phoenix NL]

Well the Mass Effect twitter account has just announced that the Bioware team is at PAX and to please stop by room 105 and see them...... oh if I could only get a ticket and corner them (nicely but firmly) until we get exact details of what is going on.

[TheSimbul]

@bioware @BioWare If this extended cut thing is for real...shame on you Bioware. Shame on you. You just load a ****load of clients!

Just tweeted them and Gamble, and will continue to do so. Now. I'm. PISSED!

Put a video of it up on youtube. That might get the point across.

[Aedera]

To all saying wait till PAX, we have been given two official statements. They did not listen and they do not care. Space magic stays but we are "too stupid to understand" (yes paraphrasing but it is what they mean) so they will talk really slowly for us. Just effing call it the Elcore edition and draw in crayon...
