Please excuse the selfish thread, but it's a final act of cartharsis before I move on from this whole mess.

The statement from Casey Hudson yesterday is exactly the kind of condascending whitewash I was expecting. Here is what I took away from it (your mileage may vary):

- We're happy with what we did, and take no responsibility for the fact that we might have dropped the ball.
- Publications and gaming sites gave ME3 great reviews, so STFU.
- We'll keep supporting the game throughout the year by making you pay for DLC which continues Commander Shepard's adventures (and based on previous comments, the intention is for this DLC to take place before the endgame).

Face it people - it's over. Let's not be naive. The endings are what they are - they're not gonna change, not in any substantial way. It simply doesn't make any business sense, and at the end of the day, money talks and bull***t walks. I know there are those of you who feel that the long-term repercussions of not addressing the ending debacle outweigh any short-term losses, but EA/BioWare have obviously tossed this around and decided - "no". As Hudson says in his statement, as far as they're concerned, disappointment with the endings is confined to "some of our most passionate fans."

I don't say any of this to be negative for the sake of it. It's just that, reading through the forums, I still see so many people "holding the line" and clinging to some slither of hope that the endings will be revised. And I know (at least, I'm thoroughly convinced) that it's just not going to happen. Believe me, I was genuinely hoping that BioWare would step up and do something out-of-the-ordinary to address this, but Hudson's statement is the final nail in the coffin for me. Take heart in the fact that we've currently raised in excess of $60K for charity (which, unsurprisingly, Hudson doesn't even acknowledge in his statement), and move on.

For my own part, I have uninstalled ME1/2/3 from my PC, and have absolutely no intention of purchasing any future DLC, even if it addresses the endings (which it won't). I also have absolutely no intention of buying another product from BioWare ever again. My N7 Collector's Edition has been shoved to the back of a drawer, where it will stay.

I'm not a complete pessimist. I've made a backup of my saved games. But in every other respect, I'm done with BioWare and with this game. It's just such a massive shame that it had to end like this.

No.

[Overule]

Hold. The. Line.

[Amyra]

Honestly, I've been going thru denial, depression and acceptance all week....

I don't expect anything to change (which makes me sad),
but I'm hoping it will.....

I'm guessing it's a general feeling.

Why don't you move on instead.

Expecting the people who broke the franchise so badly to somehow be able to turn around and hit a home run to fix it - for free - is a bit naive, I'll admit.

Time to move on.

[MissMaster_2]

No. Hold the line

People that tell others to move on are too weak to do what you are doing. Ignore them, let THEM move on.

I think I made it pretty clear in my post that that's exactly what I'm doing.

wat he`s trying to say is if you want to move on thats great just dont come in here trying to preach other people to do it

[aquaticidioticus]

Still holding the line.

I wish you the best though OP.

[Rorschachinstein]

Tell........them. I held............the line.

i have no idea where he got the "only passionate fans will be upset" part. We got an office of 300 peeps here. all those that picked up ME3 have pretty much put it down. Sure, they're not freakin' out saying "CHANGE TEH ENDING" but they've all agreed that the ending blew, and that most likely they're nto gonna get any DLC and move onto other games. heck, the day 1 DLC has already made some of em just move onto another game.

For me its the same, i'm just on the forums cuz i like forum drama

but in all honesty, if they dont change the ending, i wouldnt care. i got other games to occupy myself. If they did, then yeah, it'll keep my attention for a bit. at this point i'm ready to move onto another game

[OmniPrime31]

again..another person "swearing off Bioware"...let'em put out a new KOTOR..see if ya still boycott Bioware then..

"Weak"? I've spent the last week-and-a-half following this issue. Sharing various reports with my friends via FB. Commenting on articles. I donated $50 to Child's Play. Marauder Shields is my BFF on Facebook. I've been as passionate as the rest of you.

My point is, following Casey Hudson's statement, I really think it's just time to move on (for all the reasons I outlined in my initial post).

Replacing the word "weak" with "resigned" would probably be more accurate.

They promised us choice and multiple endings and closure, they didnt meet their promise so no their actions shall have consequenses. People paid hard earned money for it and the goods werent delivered in promised condition.

Hold the Line

[NinjaRogue]

HOLD THE DANG LINE!
