I agree I will not be playing or buying anymore Bioware products unless this is resolved.

Well thats the issue really, it won't be resolved. Mr. Hudson has stuck to his guns and thats his right.

It is my right as an adult consumer to choose not to purchase further products in relation to the franchise in response.

They have exercised their rights as a developer, I am exercising my rights as a consumer.

No hatred, no incoherent screaming, just....thank you for your time I will take my business elsewhere sir.

I won't find it hard to boycott DLC, cause this game has 0 replay value. ZERO. Why would I bother with DLC for a game I wont pick up again?

[Justin2k]

Umm if we don't get DLC we won't get to see their proper ending that they witheld from the game so they can sell it to us later

The story these DLCs will provide is irrelevant. Anything you do, any success you achieve will be meaningless.
You're doing.. what? Helping people who will die.
Taking places that will be destroyed.
Gathering info that will be lost.

All because Shepard became a coward and gave up.

This is exactly it...It won't be hard not to buy DLC, as it feels there's no point in anything Shep does,unfortunately...

[mpgeist]

Already planned on it since I finished the game. I even bought all your dumb appearance packs for ME2 Bioware!!!

[pharsti]

Could it even be called a boycott?

I mean, theres no reason whatsoever to get the dlc, and even less reason to support BW, so its not a boycott, its a consequence.... they should see what those are, remember our game was supposed to have those somewhere.

Exactly, at this point, those of you that actually have game discs that you can trade in, probably should.

Those of use with digital distributions are sort of screwed in that regard. But we can all choose to do the same thing and stick to our beliefs that the way they chose to end this series was god-awful.

Casey had every right to stick to his guns. You have a right to stick to yours as well.

They "movement" isn't over, its just been left with only the final option to consider.

How about not only boycotting the DLC, but not playing the MP either?

Because the multiplayer system is designed to entice you to buy bioware points, which is a revenue stream for them as well.

And they seem to be intentionally limiting weapon hand-outs to get people to buy points.

[Arduous Wolf]

Hopefully they will address the issue before they release any DLC and so a boycott shouldn't be needed.

Although I don't like the ending, I do still have faith in Bioware to make things right one way or another. Boycotting just on the back of the endings being bad is unfair. Everyone makes mistakes and as long as there is some kind of resolution to this issue I can forgive.

[Painaid]

Boycotting all DLC until the endings are fixed. Otherwise, I have no reason to play the game again.

[Sharkey1337]

Yep, as long as there is no proper ending, I'm not giving a penny to Bioware/EA. Each time they'll announce a new pay to play DLC that has nothing to do with the ending, I'll simply throw more of my money at a good cause like the Child's Play charity, as that is money well spent.

[Fuzrum77]

If they offer satisfying epilogue/ending DLC, I will buy it, and likely every DLC thereafter. But I will buy nothing from them until they do. Nothing.

I also agree with this. If you're going to play MP, just don't buy Spectre packs, force EA to host the MP servers on their own dime.

The minute this isn't profitable is the minute they will care how we feel. So it is basically our duty, as loyal fans of the franchise to reduce the profit potential of the ME3 product as effectively as we can without resorting to adolescent tactics.

The adult decision is to simply not pay one dime more. Not one more dime, in regards to anything Mass Effect 3 related. And if that somehow hurts the franchise, EA can start asking who is to blame for the nose dive of one of its potentially most lucrative properties.

[Brahlis]

Now this is a boycott I can get behind.

You should not have to buy an epilogue DLC, and, they have no intention of making one. They stand by the end of Mass Effect 3.

I stand by spending my money on less chancy ventures, in the future.

[Rob_Nix]

Donate to the Retake Mass Effect Child's Play Drive instead of buying DLC.

[Slugnoid]

I never boycott anything as a personal principle. That said, after beating ME 3 I've simply lost all interest in buying any DLC for it.

[sargon1986]

OK That's it BioWare, Im out... goodbye forever. No more Mass Effect, no more SWTOR, not even gonna bother with DA3. Its so damn SAD that the GREATEST video game of all time ended like this. Huge disappointment...

Well, I was hoping they'd at least hint at fixing the ending, but after Casey Hudson's response today, I think it's pretty safe to say that ain't happening.

Bioware can release all the DLC they want, I'm not buying.

[GhostlyMaiden]

Sorry y'all. Even if I had hated the ending to the extent that I felt it needed fixing, any dlc with achievements I'm buying. Still would love an ending dlc, be it adding more options or changing it. I'd much prefer they add on though. Some of these endings actually fit exactly what some of my Shepards would do.

This is also a very valid way to feel. Its a lot of the reason why I feel DLC should be under community boycott anyways.

After completing ME3 I wasn't just no longer interested in DLC to come, I was no longer interested in the thousands of hours of character save's I'd held on to since Mass Effect 1.

For many, this choice to avoid buying ME3 DLC will not be a hard choice at all, but for many others, who have developed a deep attachment to this galaxy over the last five to six years, it will be very hard not to monetize anything BioWare puts forward.

Its why I'm calling for willpower and a belief in your own self worth, that your opinions should matter, and since the only opinion that really means anything to EA is Benjamin Franklin's opinion, while hes in your wallet, that you should probably have more pride in yourself as an individual and not allow a giant multi-national company to marginalize your feelings.

Remember that even if they don't care how we feel, we do represent the potential profit total each of us could generate. And this is the only "person" EA see's in its customers, not the feelings, not how much you care about a particular game, but how much you can ostensibly increase their quarterly profit margin.

Don't let Mass Effect be the pen you've willingly let them herd you into, so you can be sheared like a sheep to the net potential benefit of their investors.

You are a person and how you feel matters and EA and BioWare are NOT entitled to your money.
