The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is an independent agency of the United States government, established in 1914 by the Federal Trade Commission Act. Its principal mission is the promotion of consumer protection and the elimination and prevention of what regulators perceive to be harmfully anti-competitive business practices, such as coercive monopoly.




Can we all please stop overreacting to this once person who filed a complaint? This person is of the opinion that the business practices of Bioware and EA are worthy of a complaint and it is his legal right to do so.

Just because journalists or haters use this as "dirt" to sling at us DOES NOT immediately mean we should back away from this person because it might "do harm" to our cause. I feel that we should stand together and that civility, dignity, respect and logic should be the key elements to what we do.

Attacking a single individual for excercising their legal rights is not any of the things mentioned above.

Please guys, do not overreact to the things others might hatefully say, there is NOTHING wrong with filing an FTC complaint and even though i would personally not have done this, i will not turn my back to someone doing something perfectly legal and valid.

Thanks for reading all

And remember, hold the line, together

Wasting the Court's time with a complaint about how an entertainment property ended is deservedly mock-able.

But that's not to say it isn't valid to be upset at how ME3 ended.

[Orthodox Infidel]

Not to mention it's functionally equivalent of getting a big bully to beat someone up for you.

Here's the thing though...


it's a video game.

Of course i do, but again, someone filing a complaint (which doesn't simply  go to court") about the way Bioware/EA has promoted/advertised their product and how that differentiated from the final product is much different from what you just stated.

Like i said, i would not have done it myself, but it is this person's right to do so and i think some of you are overreacting to it.

Filing an FTC complaint because you did not like the ending is a laughable. Nothing is going to come of it. It is just as bad as trying to sue EA/Bioware because you don't like the ending. The approach is not effective at all and only works to make the retakers in general look immature.

[AJRimmsey]

the fun really comes a bit later.

when paedos in chat rooms,copyright piracy and also this episode is used to shove PIPA and SOPA through.

and all the american kids disappear offline

keep these complaints going in

[Harorrd]

no they filed the FTC blockade because they promised us 16 kinds of endings, but despite that we can only get 6. They also did it because the ending was pure Bewul chrap

I fail to understand how PIPA/SOPA are that relevant. Also, none of those bills are really necessary since the government can take websites offline without a trial as it is anyway.

I think the complaint was filed over Bioware/EA's PR statements and false advertising, not the "quality" of the endings.

Well, to be honest... the very POINT of the FTC is about fraudulent advertisement, so it's not really "wasting its time" if it's relevant.

[Wolder88]

Filing an FTC note isnt the same as "going to court". There a people at the FTC who are hired to deal with these cases or even smaller ones, believe it or not. customer rights are serious business. If the case is empy(I am presuming false advertisement), nothing will happen, a bureaucrat will look into it, throw it away and look up the next case(what he was hired to do).

Having worked in a regional government agency I know there are many "small" cases like this, everyday. Its not that special tbh.

The FTC takes every complaint seriously. Especially when there are multiple complaints.
If they find sufficient evidence that there may be a case then they open an investigation.
They don't just write it off because of the industry. Being a product from a video game company does NOT make it a laughing matter. In the eyes of the FTC it is another product like any other, from a business like any other.

Simple as that.

Filing an FTC note isnt the same as "going to court". There a people at
the FTC who are hired to deal with these cases or even smaller ones,
believe it or not. customer rights are serious business. If the case is

Thanks for the thought out reply's and for giving some insight

Here's the thing though...


it's a video game.

It's a product that was advertised with qualities different than it actually has.

i.e. 16 different tailored endings with vast connections to previous games, choices and the consequences thereof, that answers the majority of player questions and gives closure to most aspects of the Mass Effect universe.

Listen, all i am trying to do is have a civil debate about not attacking individuals for excercising their rights. If all you are going to do is point fingers, laugh and be condecending, please feel free to do so in other topics.
