I don't believe anyone has, but I wouldn't expect them to say yes or really want to pose that question to them. I mean it's not fair to ask them to support a cause that was initially started because we disagreed with one of their decisions. At this point though I think it has turned into more of a thing to help those kids, at least for me it has.

I can't believe that people are bashing this on other forums just for the sake of being contrarians. I don't believe the motives of why you donate matter. Surely the recipients of the charity money (the children) don't care why you donated just that you did donate.

We are making a positive contribution out of a bad situation, while the people mindlessly flaming the donation drive aren't doing anything to help at all. Be the better person and don't stoop to their overly aggressive level. Let them bash us for donating to charity, it only makes them look childish.

Keep it up guys and spread the word!

Just donated as well. Any chance someone could point me towards those sweet banners people are rocking?

This. Frankly im not as pissed about the ending anymore since I donated. Something good came out of this and we should all feel proud for what were doing. Sure BioWare may not listen to us but ME community will be remembered for this, not the raging homophobic spam.

Agreed.  And a lot of people expected this kind of reaction from the very beginning. The important thing is we know why we're doing it.  It's hard not getting recognition for your good acts, but the very fact that are doing any good at all in this world should be reward enough.

Free bump to further the cause for free DLC to be distributed, using funds that were raised here.

  No thanks. I'd rather have 100% go to the kids.  If DLC comes out, I hope it's free, but I'm willing to pay for it at this point.  Anyways. Donate!

I misunderstood that it was a charity; I'd never heard of it before - just went back and read over it.
Notable cause. I like it.

 It's all good =).   Maybe when the check is given away it can be blue, red and green hahaha:wizard:

Can you guys stop for one second and listen to yourselves? Do you all have Aspberger's or something? You think that just because there is an overexposed videogame charity involved (how about we cure some friggin DISEASES with our donations?) that what you're doing isn't attempting to hold Bioware hostage?

It's not going to work. You should know that it's not going to work.

Bump for little kids... I support sick kids getting better.

Exactly. This is where I'm putting my money instead of future non-ending DLC from Bioware. Maybe when they bring out their first DLC we could all donate the price to a charity instead? That's what I will do.

Perhaps challenge would have been a better word. Maybe they'll do it anyways. I just figure having *someone* match us would be pretty badass.

Thanks! Got it figured out!

So you want us to stop raising money? If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Kids win either way. That's all that matters.

If you had read the other comments, you would have realized that this group has no plans to ask Bioware to match the donations.  Nor does their decision on the possibility of an Endings DLC matter.  We're supporting a charity because it's something this community believes in.  Doing some good.  Holding Bioware hostage has nothing to do with it.  But thank you for your feedback on the issue.

It would be very cool, but I think it ultimately sends the wrong message.

 This.  Donating should be entirely voluntary without a need for pressure.  If Bioware stepped up and matched it, I'd gain a lot of respect for them.  But in no ways do I expect them too, as it would kinda be a nail in the foot.

[Rosery99]

There are no plans nor will we ask or challange BW to do any such thing. This is no longer so much about the ending DLC, I would love for this to impact our voice but now? Now I think most people here are donating and finding donations just because it makes us feel better about ourselves and about ME3's endings. If the game can push us all to come together and do something really great, well...can't have been all bad, can it? Lord knows I've never tried to organize or keep people in line to this degree before.

[UlricKerensky]

Fair enough. I'd just like to see the kids get as much as possible.

Edit: Oh that'll teach me to look at 2 threads at once. Sorry for that.
