You know what????If you think you will get anywhere sue them. You would be laughed out of court but go right ahead.
While I don't agree with that statement BBB has already laid the ground work.
I don't think it would be favorable, it wastes $ for both sides and does not work toward restoring any confidence no matter the outcome.
For that matter, 99.9% of the game was enjoyable by nearly everyone ( cant recall anyone being completely dissatisfied) They just want $1 back.?
There are some points that would be argued to that affect.
I just want to see what Bioware feels is the correct response, then I know how to gage my preferences with a company that has either changed or decides to continue making the games they have in the past.
This and the fact that it's not fiscally sound for any person to do it, though someone has. I don't agree with doing so. I think there are so many unknowns within the whole issue and part of what people feel they've "lost" is intangible. You can't recover damages for the loss of love of 3 video games, which is what this has done for a lot of people. You can't attach some monetary amount to lost time or all the other items people purchased in being fans.
And just returning that game (which is basically all that would probably be gained from this) isn't satisfactory either, because it doesn't address what the ending did to people who spent time on these games.
It also is true that to a person we have all said we loved the series, never said different, and never said Bioware sucked or that we hate them. We've consistently praised their work, yet it is true that some things they did that were not the greatest things within the games, were more obvious because the ending did suck. That doesn't mean we still don't love these games. In fact, I assert that it often means we've loved them more.
You see, I don't love a lot of games and if their endings aren't the greatest, I don't care much at all. I figure well ok, it's over. But I did love these games, still do. I've often thanked Bioware for their great job on them. But the depth of our love of these games is what caused us to see just where the ending went wrong. Brilliant minds have spoken out about this (I don't mean me at all). Legal entities have spoken out and called Bioware to task for what they've done. Business pros have spoken out about this. Literary reviewers have critiqued and criticized the ending. Fans have expressed outrage, because the ending insults our intelligence and yes, a vast number of people with more than 2 brain cells to click together have found not one, not two, not three or four, but an extreme number of problems within the ending (s), not the least of which are things that Casey Hudson specifically said would and would not be in the ending.
Pardon us for caring, but we do. I've played video games almost as long as bubbles has been alive. I've never played a videogame to equal even just one of the ME games, let alone all three. ME was the videogame I've waited to play all my gaming life and I got lucky, there were three of them. But as deep as my love of these games has been it is equaled by the depth of my disappointment in the most important part of these games, the ending. It defies logic. It strips all feeling from the game. It wipes away the horror of the antagonists and replaces it with some "comic relief" pint-sized foe. It ruins everything that came before.
Best game ever, multiplied into the 3 best games ever, reduced to almost nothing by the worst game ending ever in all the years I have played games. Someone else put it best when they said it's the biggest gap between best and worst in gaming history. And we see it because we are not looking at the games superficially. We played them as contiguous stories that fit together and were interwoven by pixel characters that came to life and grew before our eyes. This alone is one of the most awesome events in gaming. These characters learned and grew. But as if that weren't enough, they loved too. Bioware created such amazing, awesome things so no, suing them isn't the way to go.
Instead, we continue to thank them and yes, we will remind them of all the promises and they did make promises, because when you say you will or will not do something, that is a promise, and we will continue to point out the flaws, the foibles, and just where we think they went wrong. We bought a product and have that right and we have that duty as well. I won't walk with my money until at last I am damn sure they have ignored my wishes. I've always felt I owed them that much for what they've given me. When or if I do see they are totally ignoring me as a fan, that's when I stop being one.
