Raz, cut it out. The cupcakes are going to be sent and eaten, and there's nothing you can do about it other than watch it unfold.

Maybe all this doesn't really make sense, but think of this as a nice way to gain attention to the cause, spark some media coverage maybe? It's not all about logical reasonind and well thought arguments, making good impression also counts.Aesieru wrote...

Are you really trying to say that they wont accept it even if it comes straight from the bakery?
Companies I've worked for have had this happen before.

Almost everyone in this forum pays for entertainment. People choose to purchase cupcakes because they find it to be an entertaining way of sending a message. They paid for entertainment. I know!

Dude, read the thread before you post please. No one in their right mind is mailing 400 cupcakes to Bioware. The baker will be delivering them himself.The Razman wrote...
Bioware is part of a huge company. There's protocols which'll no doubt say that unexpected food which arrives in the post shouldn't be eaten for safety reasons. Even letting someone know they're coming might not be enough to save them from someone in the bureaucratic line, especially with the furor and hatred that's been going on lately.
The few Bioware employees that have posted in here sound enthusiastic about the idea. They don't represent the whole company but I say it represents a good sign.
If you don't like it then move on. Redirect your.... energy to something that matters to you.

Well it looks like Bioware disagrees with you.

You guys make me cry.
You know this is like the sixth post I have seen from you. We understand you don't like the idea and we respect your opinion. Seriously though why keep coming back and trying to squash our good moods?
To everybody else don't respond to him
First off, to others.
NO ONE IS TROLLING THIS THREAD, people are just really baffled why you would be NICE to the PEOPLE who screwed you over if they AREN'T even SORRY in ANY CAPACITY.
As for why we're here, because we are bewildered and trying to get the message across.
Because being nice goes a long way.

That doesn't stop me from pointing out how utterly disgraceful it is to do something like this immediately after the Child's Play campaign finishes. The precedent of donating to charity has been set. You're instead spending money on cupcakes. It's like going to a community which has been organising donations for starving African kids and organising a drive to burn money in a bonfire for publicity for starving African kids. It makes no sense.
People throw money away on stupid things all the time which could be put to far better use. Ain't gonna stop me pointing it out from happening.

Yes, we know the terribly risk that 'developers could start to expect gifts to do their job.'

Not to mention, they will just throw it out anyway. Who in their right mind would accept something from the group that sends death threats? The dumpsters will enjoy the money you spent though.
Death threats?
Why would we throw them out? I don't think 'Cyanide' is on the list of available cupcake flavours that Fuss delivers..
That's gold.

So you've gone from giving money to sick kids, to throwing money away on cupcakes for no reason?
... way to go, people. Way. To. Go.
It may be hard for you to do two things at once, but the rest of us can manage it pretty fine!
You've taken $1,000 which could've gone to the charity and instead made them into cakes which are probably going to be thrown away for safety reasons.
The cupcake are made from a professional baker, thus, there is no safety reasons to worry about.
And anyway, even if they don't eat them, "we" had to do it, for the lulz.
The fact that my posts have illicted a response of "Here we go" and "THE MORE YOU MOAN THE MORE WE SMILE HAHA" ... tells me that other people have already pointed out this lunacy. If you want to do something to express yourself, fine. Do something which actually benefits something, instead of going to Bioware "LOOK! SEE WHAT YOU'VE MADE US DO, WE'RE BURNING OUR OWN MONEY! BURNING IT!!! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
Because that's basically all that this gesture says. Charities could be being helped. Hope you're proud of yourselves.
^ This.

NO IT DOESN'T
PEOPLE WILL SCREW YOU OVER FOR THE SMALLEST OF THINGS. It doesn't matter how nice you will or if you fricken talked them out of suicide, PEOPLE WILL SCREW YOU OVER if it benefits them or they have something better come along. It's not fun, it's not nice, it's not ideal, but it's common, and it's normal and no one gives a **** when they do.
The issue is that if someone screws you over, reinforcing their behavior DOES NOTHING GOOD.
