This is ridiculous.

At least the the title brings some light to the matter, because the whole winning and cursing about t he end, with endless petition to change the end is childish.

At best.

Care to elaborate?

Entitlement issues.

Yea, would you care to elaborate? I get the feeling that you're suggesting raising $10k for a charity is a bad thing, in which case may the titans have mercy.

Someone didn't bother reading what the OP wrote I take it..

I definitely read what the OP posted? In fact, I threw in $50. I don't understand where you're coming from in the slightest?

This down here.

 Over $10,000 raised for another alternate(reasonable) ending that we deserve as Mass Effect fans.

How is that entitlement? Casey Hudson said...

Casey Hudson: It's not so much that there is a fixed set of alternative endings, but all of your choices really determine how things end up in the universe. So, how you approach the end-game, for every player, you're going to have a different set of results in terms of who is alive and who is dead, and which civilisations survived and which ones were wiped out.There is a huge set of consequences that start stacking up as you approach the end-game. And even in terms of the ending itself, it continues to break down to some very large decisions. So it's not like a classic game ending where everything is linear and you make a choice between a few things - it really does layer in many, many different choices, up to the final moments, where it's going to be different for everyone who plays it.

We ARE entitled to a different ending. They LIED to people and swindled them out of their money by making false promises. False advertising is not good for Bioware's reputation, as once fans are bitten they become twice shy.

It's too late for jreezy, he's been indoctrinated. I mean... who would honestly complain that those of us who want better endings are self-entitled whiners when we've decided to make this a charity drive to show that we are not?

In what way is this ridiculous? Simply because we see the faults with the current endings? It's like bashing the people who think the Star Wars prequels are a total cluster **** that make a mockery of the original trilogy.

It's his opinion though, I just don't understand it.

I'm all for charity but the reasoning behind it is a bit ridiculous... at least there's money going somewhere good. But... why not start a piggy-bank of money that you offer to Bioware? If you hit 100k they might be able to do something with that...

Seriously though... ridiculous...

"Oh man, I hate the ending. I better give Bioware 100,000 dollars to show them how mad I am". No, making the money go to Child's Play was the right move.

[XRelakX]

funny 10k$ for a diff ending.I would rather take the money and use my imagination as its free .

[Sinnerous]

Wait, where is this money going? Who just got paid $10,000 that BioWare or E.A. Won't take towards consideration for an alternate DLC? I'm all down for getting a new ending. I just don't like people getting taken for a sucker. When BioWare declines, along with E.A. for the donation. I hope it goes towards a real cause. Again, I want a new ending as bad as the next upset gamer.

lmfao 10k compared to EA's what? 4. something billion dollars.

That isn't the point. The point is the community actually standing together against this hideous excuse for an ending to a franchise. 

The cause is still growing. Speaks leaps and bounds about how GOD AWFUL this ending is.

Exactly my point, maybe he fell out of a true and bumped his head or something.

'Child's Play' What is that like a Sandusky organization or sumthin'?

[Viyu]

They're not raising the money for an alternative ending. The petition signatures they are making is towards the alternate ending.They just want to do it in a way that gets people to pay attention to BOTH issues. They didn't HAVE to do it this way, but they chose to.

It DOES go to a real cause, Child's Play

Things like this make me proud to be a gamer.

[Erode_The_Soul]

People, $12,000 was just raised for an incredible charity. Does it really matter if it was spurred by so-called "gamer entitlement" or not? I mean, damn, can't we just accept that this is a good thing rather than ****ing about the motives behind it? Because I'm guessing the kids that benefit aren't going to give a rats ass about why the donations came in, but rather that they did at all.

[Bawseee]

Over $10,000 raised in less than two days. The community is speaking, Bioware.

[Viyu]

OP you need to link to the original thread to the person who STARTED this petition, so people can see how the money is being allocated and handled. Otherwise people are going to have doubts if this is legit. To everyone interested, please go here and read the 3rd post for more information.

[SnakeSNMF]

Ten thousand dollars Bioware or EA did not earn because of their screwup that could've gone to its' development team to further DLC.

The point is, they're losing money. And ten thousand bucks is a lot to lose, even though they have a gross of four billion a year. If a million players stopped buying and playing their games and instead pledging to support a 'cause" that's only goal is to change something in the game, you know there is something wrong. And you can't argue whether or not that is brave, good, or any of it.

It's revolutinary and awesome. That's what it is.

We ARE entitled to a different ending.

Why'd you prove my point?

I'm not proving your point. I am addressing this implication that people who are complaining about the endings, whether they choose to donate to this charity or not, have an "entitlement" complex. Frankly, its not entitlement when someone tells you they're going to do something and doesn't do it. On the same token, I'm not saying that people are pushing the money for better endings. They're using the signatures to show Bioware that they're serious, whilst simutaneously offering money to a second cause they think is important. Like I've said before, they could've easily just made a regular petition and that's it, if this also didn't matter to them. I noticed you did not address the other statements I made on this issue.

I understand exactly where it came from, I just did not see a thread about it in the non-spoiler section. I'm just trying to spread the petition. 

By all means, visit the link above.

The Donations go to the Child's Play charity, we're just doing it in the name of a new ending. Because, quite frankly, if you think the ending is anygood then you need a CAT scan.

I don't have a problem with the donations, the OP's reasoning behind it is what is ridiculous to me though.

I think the OP is wording it wrong. Not that it matters because as far as I'm concerned he was not the person who originally started this in the first place. I think what's more important is that people don't get caught up in his wording it wrong to miss the bigger picture, because that just spreads misinformation.

[XRelakX]

So apparently you can now make money from "bad endings" on rpgs..interesting.

you are intititled to your opinion and everyone should respect that and lets get off the that and back to the topic at hand before lock down for too much bickering lol

[tetrisblock4x1]

$10,000 might allow a small team of writers to work on DLC for about a month...you can forget cinematics, voicing or anything except a bit of a text epilogue and maybe some recycled content sold as new content.
