Was only able to put in $7, as that's all I could afford, but I figure every little bit, right? Awesome idea. Even if nobody else donates that's... let me check here... $437 for children in need out of this movement! And people WILL donate, I think.

 Already getting close to $500 everyone! It may not be a high-caliber charity dinner, but it all still counts

Mines still showing $337. still good to see more money is coming in!  Loaded in IE and it showed the updates, must be a cache issue.

ETA: Jumped to $517 !

Just donated, up to $517 now.

Always wanted to donate to Child's Play but just never really sat down and did it.

Hopefully the whole thing just snowballs and keeps going up. Especially since I already tweeted a bunch of bioware PR people with the link. Even so $500+ is still good no matter what happens.

While I admire this, I think this could ultimately come back to bite everyone in the butt.

People could get the wrong idea, like we're not donating sincerely for the kids, but rather to fix a game.

BUT, I will say, an interesting way to take this. Either way, I hope this turns out well. I'll see how much money I have and donate some later.

Just remember that this is for charity, everyone. While I want a new ending extremely bad, let's not use Child's Play as a subversive way to gain attention. This donation option was made to prove that we aren't a bunch of whiny, selfish brats. Keep that in mind, and don't for one second rub it in Bioware's face. No good will come of that

I went ahead and made a little sig button (in my sig if you wanna see it now) and put it in the album as well (direct link) for those who want one. The "RT3" bit being, of course, "ReTake3".

I wouldn't have donated if I didn't already love Child's Play. Which itself was formed in response to immature attacks on gamers by journalists who didn't know what they were talking about (Sounds familiar doesn't it?!) So while I don't think we can deny that we want to make a positive impression from our actions we must all go in knowing that if nothing happens besides Child's Play getting money donated to it then it is still a GREAT thing.

That I could donated was mostly a coincidence actually. I had a little money left on my debit card and pulled into a McDonalds parking lot to get some food and drinks for people at home but there were too many cars and I didn't want to wait. Instead I'm donating that to Child's Play now, which I've always wanted but not been able to do, while getting some good PR out. Win-win all around.

Over 600. Impressive. This is what happens when a group of people from all walks of life agree on something.

Thank you! Obviously, this will be a touchy subject, and we absolutely need to handle it with care. I encourage us all to IMMEDIATELY mark and report anyone who posts on this thread along the lines of "Take this Bioware" or "See, we aren't selfish!" 

It is absolutely imperative we do this

As I said on facebook. This may not help our cause. But it is a just cause nonetheless and everything we do for it, not only reflects well on us, but does wonders for kids that don't have the luxury of enjoying great games like Mass Effect that we have.

No matter what happens. If we get a new ending or not. Even if EA and Bioware tell us to deal with it. Good will come out of this no matter what. I know I am doing what I can to help the kids... Lets keep this going and on the front page. I personally and promoting via facebook, and other sources, but will do my best to keep this going here too.

Agreed goose, will keep an eye out to make sure none of that is flying around.

If anything, I feel a bit more relaxed after the donation!

Somehow, it feels wrong that I'm almost using sick kids in an attempt to get better endings...

That being said of course. *Donates $15*
