So do you think the retake movement was worth it?

Sure, there are some dissident voices here and there, but that is quite a result of the very success of the movement.
Sure it may not be as dynamic as it was one week ago, but its strength relies in its ability to exist over time, not on punctual outbursts.
So, we should not consider our cause as lost or over. We have a clear objective in mind (new endings), and only realization of this objective should close the movement.
Moreover, we are doing something unprecedented : we are redefining the way a game developper interracts with its audience, including the fact that it should never blatantly disregard said audience opinion.
Calling this movement over is the best way of making it lose some of its impact.

I think it was worth, like you said, we raised loads of money for sick kids and we got Bioware to understand some of our points.
Most of us stayed civil despite ridiculous levels of immaturity from the gaming media too.
+100, im so glas that so many managed to stay civil...

Your logic is ridiculous. You can't possibly be berating somebody for donating to charity? What does the reason matter?Simpfan wrote...
I find it a little sad that the only reason you raised money for sick kids was because you hated a video game ending.
If the ending was perfectly fine, would these kids have still gotten all your money?
Im not berating them for donating.
But their reason is a valid point of discussion.
Would that much money have been raise for charity if people were satisfied with the ending?
I think not

The actions that we work on now determine what kind of products they are creating . If they see us backing down , they will make something small and non-committal because the outrage later will be small and people will 'forget about it' , but if we make it clear that we will continue to affect their sales through word of mouth , through distrusting their products in the future , etc , then we may see them scrambling to try and rebuild consumer confidence .
This is not about art . This is about attempting to encourage bioware through financial and vocal means to return to its old model of creating successful games because we love bioware products and hope that they don't disappear or become mediocre or unfinished .

Unless we get an explicit official response, everything is up in the air.
So keep civil, and keep holding the line

Please don't even go there... Clear attempt to inflame this thread... Have a nice day, but do it somewhere else...
Yep.
Everyone who disagrees is a troll.
I presume you also believe that anyone who gave to charity only because they watched a telethon, or anyone who gave to charity only because there was a celebrity show promoting is should also hang their heads in shame.
No not everyone who disagrees is a troll. However when your primary goal is to come in and make people feel guilty for donating money, then maybe you should match the $75000 already thrown in?
Try as you might, I don't think you're going to find anyone who donated saying "Man, I didn't get the endings, I should go ask those sick children for that money back"

Sorry that you're upset sick children got money.

I think it was worth it for the money raised for the kids, no matter the reason. The kids win.
Other than that, I haven't seen Bioware do anything, yet. If they do, great on them, and they will earn my business back. Until then, its all talk.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, which is why I am certain Bioware will not make this mistake twice... so long as you remind them on occasion of this debacle. Know that you have made an impact, even if it cannot be seen in the here and now.
very well put. i agree

Everyone who disagrees is a troll.
And 'troll' is a term used far too often.. However, in this case, I wouldn't dissagree with you...
You jump out of no where and try and degrade the fact some good has come out of the Retake movement, outside of actually achieving what many claimed was all but impossible and having the ending changed, by attacking the fact money was raised for charity in it's name...
Go back under your bridge and have a nice day...

If its just some clarifications on the current endings with no real changes then people will go ape **** and this was all a waste of time (EXCEPT for the Child's Play charity, no matter what happens that is the one good thing to come from this)
If they go with the indoc theory and do something with that then I will consider it worth it
