 We're in this month edition of Kotaku's 40 Most Powerful People in Video Games.

NEW: 40. BioWare Fans

Why They're Powerful
March saw the release of BioWare's hotly anticipated Mass Effect 3, the final installment in the sci-fi franchise.

But its release was met with a lot of unhappy fans who felt discontented with the ending. The protests were so widespread and insistent that BioWare eventually ceded to fans and began work on a modified ending.

Fan protests potentially changing the content of a game? Sure, we see patches that address fan complaints all the time, but this feels different. It's brought into question whether video games as an art should be subject to this kind of malleability.

We'll find out just how BioWare is tweaking their game in April, and that will show us just how much impact these fans really have had.

The important thing I've bolded.

They no longer consider us a 'vocal minority'.

We are now 'a lot'.

Whoooo!

Awesome.

 UNLIMITED POWAHHHH!!! 

[KingKhan03]

We just went super saiyan.

[TeaKae421]

Gamers ought to have their influence felt, we are the sole reason this industry exists, we pay our money to play these games, we ought to have power. If there is one group you don't want to mess around with, it's serious gamers, who devote their time and money, expecting a game will be worth it.

If it turns out gamers were deceived or letdown horribly, we simply stop buying games from companies that decide to do that, either they'll learn or go bust.

But then, I dream.

[LadyofRivendell]

I feel empowered now. We are no longer the 1%!

[Spectre_Shepard]

hehe... hold the line!

[twizbuck]

We are all biotic gods.

There is a great wind.

[Deepo78]

 Holding the line.

You're kidding yourself if you think the term "a lot" means that. Scale is aways important to consider. Particularly relative to the whole.

This put a big smile on my face. Hopefully Bioware takes note.

[felipejiraya]

Be careful Tim Cook, we're coming!

[Wifflebottom]

Mmm power feels good

[EndrinAmtrum]

Wow! Go us!

Its a improvement over the whole vocal minority stuff they were throwing out a few weeks ago.

I take my happy endings where I can get em man. :happy:

Don't know if I can be happy about such a double edged thing.

Bioware has proven themselves to listen to fans with regards to Mass Effect. We see it in the changes they made to the second game, and to the third, and in the DLC they put out for Mass Effect 2. I think they would have listened to fan criticism about the ending no matter what form it came in.

[ZiegenkonigIII]

That's what I'm talking about!

Just to illustrate the point. Say that there's a group of 100,000 people. Say that, I don't know, 20,000 of them all want chocolate ice cream. Even though more people want vanilla or whatever, that's still a lot of people and a lot of ice cream.

[KingNothing125]

"vocal minority" was wrong right from the start. Anyone paying any attention whatsoever would know that hate for the ending is nearly universal.

They tried being avant garde and clever with the ending, and they botched it bad. I would hope they just do a simple "mea culpa" and release a more sensible ending. I would have no hard feelings.
