Hi Everyone

Today, we received the 400 cupcakes you collectively sent us through your donations to express your feelings about the endings of Mass Effect 3. We want you to know; we are indeed listening to all fan response and acknowledge your feedback. We appreciate creative and thoughtful attempts like this one. 

The gesture certainly gained our attention both with its creativity and deliciousness. However, while we do appreciate that fans were creative in how they expressed their views, after a lot of discussion, we decided ultimately the reason that they were sent was not done in the context of celebrating the work or accomplishment of the Mass Effect 3 team. This is a subtle, but important aspect in determining how to pass the feedback to the team.

BioWare regularly works with many deserving charities,  as such it was decided that rather than passing  out the cupcakes to staff or wasting good food, to donate them on behalf of our fans to a local Edmonton youth shelter. We know that for the kids that have to use this facility, something as simple as a cupcake is a rare treat and would definitely brighten up their day.  Thank you to the fine folks at the local youth shelter for accepting the donation and to the fans who donated the cupcakes.

Please keep providing your feedback on Mass Effect 3, we’re still listening.

Yay, cupcakes! Enjoy, BW

They should add a new overheard conversation to the Praesidium between Tali and Garrus standing by the food vending machine.

Tali: "Look, they're selling Rannoch liberation cupcakes! Red, blue and green! But... which one do I pick? I can't decide..."
Garrus: "You do know they all taste the same, right?"
Tali: "Of course... they all taste of home, and victory!"
Garrus: "Uh huh. Look, just pick one. It's not like the fate of the galaxy depends on it."

[Edit: Chris' post was made after I started writing this post but before I hit 'sumbit'.] I didn't get a chance to contribute to the cupcake fund-raising, so there's only so much I can say about the decision made by the team on how to handle them. First of all, I'm glad to see the cupcakes have gone towards a great cause. Secondly, it is my fervent hope that whatever new content is being worked on will be so awesome that we'll all be compelled to have something even better, more delicious and spectacular baked specifically to celebrate BW's accomplishments

The real winner here is Fuss Cupcakes. If I'm ever in Edmonton, I'm definitely going to have to stop by.

If I ever go to Canada I will head down there too, and order me a C-cake.

What's the text on the first photo?? Can't read the last few lines..

I'm probably going to be 'd three times ove by the time I'm done, but it says:

"We respect your vision of the ending, please respect our vision too. It's impossibe to make everyone happy, but I strongly believe you can make the majority happy. Can we compromise? There's no need to destroy what you have already built, we would just like some options. Thank you."

awww that's a shame they didnt eat them

[Ozai75]

Wow... @chrispriestley. So you guys have just basically slapped everyone who donated or supported this right in the face. I didn't think there was any way that this could turn sour. I'm ashamed to admit I was wrong...

[tommythetomcat]

Boo BioWare didn't even eat one!

grats too the kids though

I'd recommend you to keep at least one box, so you can taste the rainbows P: 

Still, I for one am ok with that decission, I'm pretty sure the kids will be more than happy about it  
Don't forget to give at least one to Mr Thomas!

While donating to a youth shelter is fine, the fact that they seem to just dismiss our attempt at being friendly is rather dissapointing.

Ahh I saw this coming, more PR shennanigans. Oh well, at least it's going to a good cause and not being thrown in the trash.

[AlphaDormante]

So...thanks, but no thanks.

Good for the kids, though. Not that they'd know what to make of the notes

Haha, now that's a win. Good job Bioware.

[Gexora]

And here I was picturing mental image of Casey omnomnoming
oh well, kids will be happy, at least

[Mims]

Well played, my good sir.

[Ozai75]

I mean I'm glad the kids get them, but...wow. If there ever was an example of not hearing while listening...in my opinion this is it.
