The Retake movement has just begun to organize and is asking everyone that supports the movement to Boycott Operation Goliath in a show of solidarity against the bad decision that Bioware made.  

You all were screaming for a movement without saying it. 

There was Anger without focus.

There was sadness without an outlet.

  Now this is the place for us to Gather for support   and show solidarity becuase we were wronged . 

Everyone Here must understand this is not only a fight for Mass Effect 3 but this is a fight for every Gamer in existence.  When a company decides that it can betray it's fans and think they can get away with it is when this is serious.

The Day 1 DLC is evidence of this.

The Promises that were Given to us were broken.

We were called Whiney Entitled children by the companies and reviewers that we used to trust!!  Despite the Fact that most of us are Well Educated members of society!

LET US SHOW Them that we are not going to let them take away what makes our games so Great!

HOLD THE LINE!

Bioware.  I am sorry this had to come to this.  I used to support you just like so many fans used to support you.  Now that some of the Angry Raging is over We are organizing and with organization comes organized results.  And we have the Numbers to have people listen to our Plight.


  Details can be found at the Facebook site. 

http://www.facebook....ngToMassEffect3

There is also a letter campaign effective for today as well to highlight your points to Bioware on what you did not like.
Keep it civil and easily understandable  We are organized now.  Focus that rage into constructive thought becuase this is a fight for all Video Games whether you realize it or not.  And it Starts with ME3.

We have reached a consensus. The logic is flawed

Hold the line.

You are one of many who agree. This is going to spark a Gamers Rights outcry and we invite you to be a part of it. The Betrayal we felt will not go Unnoticed.

Your not fighting for every gamer in existence. You are fighting for yourselves.

Good luck though, hopefully you can prove me wrong.

I am in full support of the movement but there will ALWAYS be gamers who disagree with us. We must not deny them their points of view or force ours upon them.

Glad to see more people supporting. I say every gamer in existence because we do not want Big Companies to get a foothold to where they can say one thing and deliver another (Bait and switch) Then claim it is art.
That is only one of many grievances that I and so many others are concerned about. Eventually whether every gamer wants it or not. The fight is coming to their doorstep. How long until other companies follow suit? Day 1 DLC, Broken Promises Etc.

My hope is to eventually have a dedicated Gamers Rights Group that will fight for our rights. That will point out conflicts of interest that hurt the gamer. Also a group that would have the power to levy class action lawsuits if the situation demands it (extreme situation). If I have to then I may dedicate my life to secure what I love and what so many others love by founding this group. (I am not ranting I am serious about this)

Mass Effect 3 is only the catalyst (heh some pun intended) to this. This is where we all realize that if we do not stick together then all is lost. If Shepard actually taught me anything in this game it is to never give up and stick by your ideals. Otherwise all is lost. (More of a choice than Bioware and EA ever gave us)


P.S I may be good at writing but Not the best. Grammar ****'s and people who are adept at writing are welcome to help me out.

Hold The Line

I'll hold the Bioware line. All Bioware supporters - HOLD the line. Don't let the Whiners spoil our favourite game and future fun with Mass Effect 3. That's their goal. Somehow they don't understand the conclusion or do not want to understand. There are powers, that for some reason aim at destroying Mass Effect story. They are in unsignificant minority only very loud (numbers say it all. Just check sold copies/facebook likes ratio). Bioware has achieved sth that has never been achieved before in a gaming industry - a 5 year sci-fi story that changed with its fans and was shaped by them.

DON'T WASTE OUR FAVOURITE GAME!!!
DON'T SUPPORT!!!

And you're doing an excellent job of demonstrating why the two aren't mutually exclusive.

The grammar and inflated rhetoric are just the icing on the cake.

If I get enough support I will found a group that will never deny the grievance of any gamer  no matter how Rediculous it will be listened to with the same standards as any more serious grievance.  We will never fource out opinions on other we will only state the facts.  (Very tough job but I believe we can do it.)   We are all playing games becuase we enjoy it. 

It is our Culture

It is our life.

  We still have Jobs and are functional members of society.  We are not selling our babies for copies of games (at least I hope not)   So why should we not fight for our culture like so many before have fought for theirs.  The Slogan Hold The Line will live on forever.   It will be our Battle Cry!!

Just keep in mind everyone. They DO track how much people play. The more play time they record the better an argument they may have.

Regarding the OP and DLC thing ...the reason many people is angry about the day 1 DLC is mainly because it leads to think about the DLC being cuted from the main game and just released as DLC to get money..but at the end if it was released 3 days after no one would be angry about the DLC.

And as for being called "whiners" and your claiming on being "educated" you should start reading the millions of post where people who doesnt like the ending start jumping on comments of people who dont see it as perfect ending but neither hate it...i dont know how is that being educated when you jump on other people opinions.

In order to be taken seriously the spam of the same thing on forums must stop and people have to respect others who dont agree with them and otherwise.Also have in mind than most "RPG" games out there if they have a crappy ending (main dislike of the people it seems) dont generate so many "movements" to change it..in fact people go and say oh wow what a crappy ending and move on.With ME is a bit diff because it seems that this game really get into the people enough in order to make them want to pay for a diff ending.

It is a luxury good you are not satisfied with.

Now, some people are actually hedonistic materialists who revolve their lives around consumerism. I have an inkling of doubt that you are one of them.

I am really trying.  I am not going to be perfect But will try my best.

I believe now is the time for everyone to stand up and band together.  Not only that,  It does not have to be all politics and whatnot.  This can be a time for us all to get together and celebrate out culture on a local or global level.  As I said before it is our Culture It is our life.  If we didnt want to be a part of this culture then we would never have played Video games.

Unfortunately as much as I would love to continue this Conversation I do have to head out to work.  I will be back in about 8 hours or so.  I hope there are people out there who feel the same way about what I feel. 

On a final note we should all work together with the companies that give us great games,  We should try to work as one.  That however does not mean we should let them walk all over us.   We should have the power to put them in their place if they make it a habit of betraying us with false promises etc.

LOL, fighting for every gamer? You are fighting for a small, self-entitled, obnoxious minority of basement dwellers and trolls.

You should be ashamed of yourselves. Bioware has worked incredibly hard on this series and as a result have created one of the most ambitious, immersive, and enjoyable action-RPGs ever to be released.

For you to complain about such ridiculously minor issues, and raise such a stink about it, is a complete joke. Why are you still posting in the forums for FANS of Bioware? GTFO!! People like you are what have been making this community suck for so long now.

I deleted my save and started a new one. Shepard is still in Earth prologue and waiting for the "Word of God" to get things right. And it will remain that way until "Word of God" makes it happen.
