I've seen a lot of game Journalists refer to us as "pissed" about the ending. Some of them havn't even done any research into the arguments of fans. They merely speculate and assume that we are undeserving malcontents.
I'm astounded at the sloppy journalism from such individuals
A Gamefromt article related the FTC guy to us. I commented to ask him to fix said misconception.
I think that it is up to us to bring these misconceptions to light.
I think that wheneve we see said misconceptions, we should send the author a message hoping
to show that we're not as pissed as other people are calling us.
IF we don't take steps to change the view of the media,
then this war was lost before it began.
Hold the Line

Update: N7 Patches
Short and sweet: I went ahead and created a group on this subject:
http://social.bioware.com/group/7102/
Anyone interested, please feel free to join and spread the word.
And that's that, for the sake of not diluting the original purpose of this thread in a side project.
I still don't understand that way of thinking. If they continue to stall us they'll likely lose a lot of customers. The mind boggles as to why anyone at EA thinks this is a good thing.Xellith wrote...

But anyway, honestly, I can understand Shephard dying to save the world (or in one instance surviving saving the world), but I cant understand why you would isolate all of the different characters from each other by destroying the mass relays. The ending polarized many people, as I'm sure the final choice that Shepard made, many people would want to see the result of that choice, rather than just Joker crashing on some unknown planet, etc...
I also understand that the stargazer telling his son "OK, one more story" perhaps means that there is more to tell about Shepard, etc... but there were certain things that didnt make sense and the ending(s) should have been able to bring more closure to the many that were expecting such.

Ugh, my incompetence hurts me. Does anybody have that thread where BioWare promised all those things (all the PR stuff) pre-release? I'm emailing some media sites with one or two of those quotes, maybe they'll include them in the story. Also explains the multiple endings, not just 'happy ending'.
I've searched but for the life of me I can't find it. A little help would be wonderful!

I have to say that the evisceration of the most epic trilogy ever has had the positive consequence of bringing all of us together in the true spirit of Mass Effect. All colors, creeds, races all fighting a common enemy - the rEApers.
Our choices should matter. Hold the line. Give us what we were promised.

They're banking on the stalling giving us time to calm down and "forgive" the ending. It happens a lot with things like this. People raging over on-the-disc DLC, for instance, may still buy future DLC once their anger has subsided. I think EA/Bioware have messed up in this case, as the sustained frustration is a lot stronger than other blow-ups around the 'net that I've seen.

Here is what I think will happen. The end of the month is the end of the first quarter so both Bioware and Ea will hold out until then. After that we will see one or two weeks where they launch a lot of attack on us in the press,here by sending in plants,and maybe even trying to start their own facebook movement. One thing they will try to do is send plants to start fights to try and get us fighting each other. If that doesn't work because we stick together keeping the pressure up and not buying their stuff they will run out of steam and we will start to really hurt for our money. We then will not hear anything for a week or two after their last attack fails because they will be deciding what to do. By the end of next month they will announce either one of three things.
1)they are giving up supporting ME3 SP with DLC becuase it is unpopular so they will focus on multiplayer.
2)they will not are moving on to the next project and are just going to let ME3 die.
or
3)new endings DLC is being worked on
I think number three is the most likely because if we stick together and don't fight each other and don't break our boycott will have shown them that the other two will not fix the problem and in the long term ME is not a good enough shooter on it's own to compete with games like GOW and COD as only an online shooter. Also they have deal with Warner brothers to think about and warner brother wants the mass effect name to have value in a few years and it will only have that if we stick with it,but that time the online crowd will have moved on to something else and EA has to know this. So stick together and we will win.
Hold the line for as long as it takes people.
Please check out this group and join in.

So, yeah. I've shifted to "will buy ending DLC." As atg states a HELL of a lot quicker than I, not doing so kinda removes a lot of the incentive of EA to address this. I think whatever the original plan was no longer matters; we're all shaping a major part of the future of the gaming industry here, and our future expectations as loyal customers. So.. here's my own olive branch

Regarding Casey Hudson's post, I feel like Bioware/EA believe that for many of the characters the ending is within the game. rro example, for the death of certain characters like Thane, Legion, their deaths are some sort of ending to Shepard's link with them. For other characters like Mordin, Miranda and Grunt, the choices that you make determine their survival or death, and at the end of those missions, their link is also closed. Same goes for Jack, Morinth/Samara, they can be with you till the end, or become enemies during the game, again based on the choices you have made.
I doubt anyone will read this because of the hundreds of postings, and in no way do I agree with the endings, I did not like them for various reasons. I just feel that Bioware/EA feel that the jounrey in itself was enough, and that there were multiple endings sort of speak with certain characters in the game (from the suicide mission in ME2 where everyone except you can die, to multiple attempts on Kaiden/Ashley and others) I think the only character who is not given a chance to die is Liara.
But anyway, honestly, I can understand Shephard dying to save the world (or in one instance surviving saving the world), but I cant understand why you would isolate all of the different characters from each other by destroying the mass relays. The ending polarized many people, as I'm sure the final choice that Shepard made, many people would want to see the result of that choice, rather than just Joker crashing on some unknown planet, etc...

I see what you're getting at. I agree that they've misjudged: well, I can't speak for anyone else, but once I'm over the ending, if that's how it's left, I'll have lost interest not just in ME3 but also Bioware and view EA's branding as a liability that should be approached with caution. I'm not sure that's the outcome they think they'll get.dreaming_raithe wrote...

I don't think we will really here anything until April. I could be wrong, but that's my guess.
Come on guys, we all knew we were in it for the long haul. We can last that long. Don't let the fires die out, and don't let that PR crap win. We can last longer than they can stall.
Hold the line people. For as long as it takes.
