I think the message is loud and clear for BioWare now. We spoke our peace, made our case and continue to do so. Some of us do it more civil than others. I am in the crowd that really doesn't like the ending, but there is a line in the sand for me where going too far is simply going too far. After reading some devs responses and then the reaction to those responses, some people are being really "over the top". There has to come a point where you realize what forms of protest or argument work and which ones don't. I hate to say it, but if you can't speak your peace, protest in a civil way and then move on for this issue, then maybe you need to get back to life... whatever that is for you.
The dev's at BioWare are human just like us, they make a living doing what they do, we make a living doing whatever it is we do. Learn to put yourself in others shoes, it is what makes us human afterall because in one way or another you might have been in the other's shoes in some way.
BioWare just made a game that they love and have poured a ton of their life and time into. sacrifices and so on, so on. We've pretty much nailed home the point of dislike for the endings, now I think people are abusing this movement. It goes back to a lesson I hope most of us learned when we were young: Treat others as you would have them treat you, and if you haven't learned that lesson, then I am not speaking to you whatsoever, cause you might be a lost cause.
So in this thread I call out to those of us who are trying to do this in a civil way.
Here is my stand:
- I want the endings changed for most of the same reasons you do, but I made my case. I donated to the RetakeMe3 movement.
- I have voted in the polls.
- I have contributed to the change Me3 thread created by Jessica.
But this is where I personally draw the line.
I like BioWare games, so damnit, I will play BioWare games. Hell I love ME3 immensely outside of the ending. Protesting by not buying their games does what in the long run?
- it makes sure that they don't have the money to make more games that we love
- it makes sure that LESS DLC comes out which can effect exactly what you're (We're) asking for
So while I am a part of this movement to change the endings, I am still using my brain. I will support BioWare, for the simple fact that I want to see a change in the endings.
If those changes do not come in some form or another and what we have heard so far proves to be lies and untrue, then I'd say, I will not support by buying DLC I am not interested in. But there it goes again, I WON'T BUY DLC I AM NOT INTERESTED IN.
Sometimes we get so passionate that we lose our intelligence. Raw power is useless without intelligence on how to use it. We have power as consumers, but when you do not use it intelligently, you in fact lose in one way or another. I don't know about you, but as a fan of games, regardless of who you are, nobody makes games like BioWare. You may like the way others make games as I do to, but there will never be another BioWare, so I will support them to the end unless I see proof that they want to mistreat me as a fan and consumer. After watching what they have done with each game throughout this series, they've done nothing but listen to fan feedback.
Shall we?:
ME1: we complained about combat, interface issues and so many more
- most of all of that was fixed for ME2
ME2: Many beloved ME1 characters were left out in the cold, in particular for me it was Liara
- Enter LofSB and other examples like this.
ME3: it's been out for two weeks and people are ready to give up... see how stupid that looks.
This list is honestly pathetic when you think of all the ways they have listened. I only named a very small amount.
I don't know about you, but I am afraid common sense is in short supply on the BSN lately (At least this week)
But BioWare I want you to know that you still have fans that believe in you and will stick this out until you have a chance to make a move on this issue.
And because I am sure not many of you had a chance to feel that your work wasn't in vain, I want to say thank you all for your hard work on this game. Tell your wives and husbands that there are some fans that thank them for allowing you to work hours upon hours and overtime to make this game for us. You are appreciated!
Some of us are human and can put the shoe on the other foot.
