What happened with Jessica?


Someone who spoke poor english misspoke, and then appologized for it on the forums, I'm also assuming he contacted her and explained.

I love when the OP uses blanket statements, don't you?

There's an entire "Thank You" thread to Jessica. Her many bot-like responses are incredibly frustrating, but most of us get it.

Also, parody threads of reasonable threads is not becoming. Save it for the worthless, crazy ones.

Death Threats? I haven't heard any of that.


Me neither. Who did that?

What you've done to Jessica Merizan is wrong and you cannot call yourself a great community.

I get really tired of people acting as though grown women are hapless maidens who need protecting.

Someone threatened her with a "shepard ending" (death) and a bunch of people forced her off the forums and she won't speak on twitter about bioware/mass effect anymore.

All because she was up at 3am in her own time trying to help people.

Sorry but not defensable.

Hate reading comments like "this community has been fantastic" and "yay we retook mass effect".

I didn't like the ending at all.  I didn't like the auto-dialogue.  I didn't like the multiplayer maps ruining the sidequests and i didn't like the new gay characters taking up more screen time than Ashley.

But I have never come on here and reduced Bioware staff to the point where they are visibly upset and refusing to come on the forums.  I have never tried to insist it is right for Bioware to give money to charity (which i'm sure they do).  I have never sworn at people who are just doing a job.

The crazy thing is, ME3 is a great game.  And you so called "fans" enjoyed 99.9% of 3 whole games.  It's just a video game, there are more important things in life.  What you've done to Jessica Merizan is wrong and you cannot call yourself a great community.  You are nothing more than trolls and spoilt gamers.  It's disgusting some of what you people have said to people who are bending over backwards to appease you and who in the end owe you absolutely nothing.  Get over it.


So true. I used to be on the camp of asking a new ending but I think I was wrong. Its unfair. I am not saying that the ending is good. I am absolutely certain from my experience of it that nothing can be done to redeem it much without possibly altering it. BUT, it doesn't give me the right to ask for such a thing.

And from a human perspective, the game was 99.9% perfect as you put it. Which is more than what you can ask for in a sequel. Some devs utterly screw up the sequels in everyway. But BW got 99.9% right. At least as gratitude for that, we owe it to forget this shortcoming with the ending.

I don't agree with stuff like death threats but while i'm not personally doing it I enjoy watching bioware get bashed. They lied about the game (Casey Hudson anyway) and I don't feel sorry for them at all.

Agree with that

SELECT FEW, not all of us are like this. All you have to do is LOOK AROUND. 

Seriously, you want real discussion? Goe of u to the childs play trend. Mors are civil but you can't control everyone. If we were all trolls and this was all just hate, bioware wouldn't have been so open to discussion about the ending as they are now.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I find most of the people here to be quite civil and very opinionated.

And yet zero grounds to dismiss an entire community.
As I said, you'd be dismissing a lot of communities if that is your sole basis. 

It's pathetic, but I think there's been way more good coming out of this than bad. As evident by the 75000+ money for charity.

So they lied about 0.1% of the game. What does it make us to forget the rest of the 99.9% and bash them just for that one bit?

Death Threats? I haven't heard any of that.

Ive heard other people talking about it and with all the trolls and maniacs on the internet I would be suprised they havent't gotten any.


If true that is way overboard. Pretty much to the point I would applaud them if they gave us the metaphorical middle finger.

There are tens of thousands of "us", and none of us is reponsible for the behavior of anyone but themselves. Will there be some immaturity? You bet your ass. That being said, I can't help but think you haven't visited many gaming forums. The vast majority of large-scale "video game" related forums are absolute trolls nests filled with profanity and nonstop insults. Whereas on the reversal, you can see entire hundred to thousand page threads filled almost entirely with well thought-out and constructive feedback.

You're seeing some exceptions to that, and calling out on them, and that's fine (though a little pointless). Don't try to insinuate that this makes the entire community childish and wrong.

No, I'd feel exactly the same if someone threatened to give Casey Hudson or Chris Priestley a "shepard ending".

And the fact most of you "fans" defend this behaviour and justify death threats against anybody because you didn't like the ending to a video game is just disgusting tbh.

 I can't say that I support what Bioware did with the ending of ME3 but attacking the staff personally is outrageous.

It's a little of both.

On one hand, we have some good people here who love Mass Effect, every bit of it, right until the last five minutes. They want that changed. They're being civil and respectful about it, but still letting BioWare know they are displeased.

On the other hand, some feel betrayed and won't stop till they see BioWare burn. They go too far, shout around, and even make threats. Unfortunately, these are the voices that are heard the loudest.

But BioWare already said they are ignoring destructive criticism the best they can, and focusing on the good fans to build a better solution.

Okay hear me out. I dont like the ending but most people here are being civil about it.. I dont see anything wrong with the charity drive.

I dont like and dont approve of the death threats or bioware bashing at all except for the lies that they have told us. Death threats are by far unnecessary and anyone giving them should feel ashamed.

So pretty well said OP although bashing the entire fan base over a few people isn't right either

Oh, please. He made a bad joke and apologized. He even made a thread on here asking people to send her his apologies just in case she blocked him. Big whoop.
