I am off to work in a bit, but I wanted to make a quick comment before I left for the morning.
I think we should not forget that this is about the ending of the game (franchise). If it was not for the terribad ending (yes, singular), this would not have started. But BioWare should not be patted on the back for this, or try to take credit, it was you awesome people! We took something very negative - with ZERO support from BioWare and turned it into something wonderful.
How many children will have some happiness now, thanks to this effort?
After finishing the game, I was depressed - couldn't sleep, took the ME1 and 2 soundtracks out of my car CD player...
After participating in this effort - I am smiling again, not being able to sleep because I keep refreshing the donation RSS feed and have a renewed hope in humanity thanks to you wonderful people! I am hearing the awesome music from the soundtrack in my head again - but when I do - I don't think about the awful ending of the game, but of you people! From the people who donated food money, to people donating money that would have otherwise gone to DLC or SW:TOR accounts... It's just... so heartwarming!
One last thought before I go to work (late! hah!)
Hold the line!
