Chris,

Is the ending related DLC going to be discussed at PAX? If not will that be later in April?

Just reposting here.

I think irony would be a rather delicious word at the moment.

Bioware was given three choices...
Blue, Red, or Green and guess what!
They picked a fourth option.

Now Bioware all we ask is for our fourth option...

Indeed!

True!

But talking seriously, they did the best thing they could do. They understood the message and gave the cupcakes to children that will surely love them. Don't read too much into their statements. He didn't want to say they will only accept "praise and glory". He in fact said that they got it, we didn't like the RGB choice. I think eating the cupcakes and just saying "thankyou" would be way more rude than giving them to the children. If they did that, it would look like they didn't care at all about the criticism.
But I think would be nice if at least the Doctors and Mr. Hudson had eaten (or at least held in their hands) one cupcake each and took a picture of the scene, with a statement that they understand our point.
Anyway, message sent and received, cupcakes going for the children... I guess it's a win.
AND Bioware took the HAPPY ENDING instead of RGB.

Nice. More Spam! (look to the right corner)

Wait a minute, let me get this right, fans donate to have cupcakes delivered to BioWare, BioWare get cupcakes, BioWare give cupcakes to Charity, and people have issue with this?

This to me looks like a win on every level.

Fans showed their love, BioWare saw that love, Charity gets cupcakes that will make people happy! EVERYBODY WINNAR!

This.

Hmmmm.... public remembering things. Oh you mean like the interviews the development team with references to the ending? Well it looks like you guys are being more careful this time around. It's hard to forget things in the age of google. I'm glad kids in need got some treats.

You know, that note doesn't actually criticize the ending. All it says is that the ending was emotional. Shame; you had a chance to really tell them where they went wrong and all you did was confirm that they did the right thing by having an "emotional" ending.

Here's my interivew with Puresophistry!

The point wasnt to criticize anything.  It was to demonstrate our...uh...passion?  our drive?  we got a point across.

Unless we talking about a different note here?

In the spirit of the "better endings" banners and whatnot, I thought the cupcakes would like to join the ranks of Mass Effect's characters.

Edit: Just realized I made a mistake with the text by putting it in all caps.

No need asking. If that is something they could say then there would be a post about it. Most likely a sticky thread.

People are spinning this incorrectly to say we are not listening to "negative feedback" and how bad we are and etcetera.

Wrong.

We did listen. At no time did we try to stop Fuss for making the cupcakes or delivering them (this would be unfair to Fuss and to the fans who sent the cupcakes and a generally dickish thing to do). When the cupcakes reached us, we did not refuse to take them (again, unfair to the people who sent them). I, along with Fernando, Mark and Alistair went down, met with Shadow Wrought, gave him some swag for being brave enough to show up and keep us honest and took them upstairs. We took all of the included messages out of the bags and boxes so we would not lose them (again, cuz we're listening). We did not throw them away, ignore them till they got stale or not use them as what they are, food. We chose not to eat them and gave them to a needy charity.

The message REACHED us. Whether we ate the cupcakes, threw them in teh garbage or donated them to charity is secondary to us getting the message, right? If we had (somehow) frozen time, put them in a display case for all time as a reminder of the message sent by fans, this would have been the same thing.

Us actually eating the cupcakes or not should not have been the issue. The issue was fans creatively sent us a message expressing their love for Mass Effect as a franchise, but dislike over the endings. This message was delivered to us and we got it loud and clear.

Having 400 preserved cupcakes in a giant plastic block in your offices could have been good reminder for future Bioware employees the importance of fans. Both in good and in bad times.
A bit of a bother if you were to move offices though.

After the 99% good the "ending gutted me" ya I think they let BioWare know.

On a side note:
"Cupcakes are fools. You should eat them."

The moment where one of Bioware employees explain to the people at the youth center that the cupcakes taste the same will be priceless.

That was an excellent interview LoganKey, I think you worded everything really well and highlighted that we aren't being malicious with our protest, but we merely care too much.

[catgirl789]

Finally caught up with the thread. Thank you for clarifying your earlier statement Mr. Priestly, it kind of bummed me out that wouldn't take the cupcakes before but an hour to think about it helped me get over it. Thanks for coming to hang out with us too. I wish all renegades were as nice as you.^_^
