I think sending the cupcakes was snarky. Delicious snark, but snark. From what I can read of the comments, they are also snark. You could have sent the cupcakes without the comments, and the message would have been the same. Bioware could have taken the high road and avoided the return snark, but it seems even keel.

The kids will appreciate the cupcakes more.

Choosing not to take the cupcakes is ironic and hilarious.

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...

Yeah, it's their way of just shooting at the Catalyst. Well played.

Something to note. In his post, Chris Priestly referred to us as 'the fans'. Not 'some of the most passionate fans' in an attempt to marginalize us. Someone at least is willing to recognize that the retake movement is not a small one.

I'm happy with the result, Granted our initial thought was to give the staff of Bioware cupcakes but giving them to a youth shelter works even better.
We got our message through, something I'm pretty sure we've done several times over already, and those that need a little joy in the therms of a cupcake got them instead.

As far as I see it, it's a Win-Win.

Hey Bioware got message, kids got to eat delicious cakes...epic win.

I am really glad we didn't put any poison in those cupcakes now
....right?

[snajones]

I didn't read all the pages worth of notes, I just wanted to drop in and say "Well done"!!!

Great idea, great execution!

EDIT: Bah. I just read where Chris said "this wasn't PRAISE of our efforts, so no thanks".
Lame.

Hold the line!

It was a planet whose description talked about a volus billionare who said a vision told him about ancient evil and that this planet had white light?  I forget...sorry.
Basically, this one description is enough to justify star child...meaning it was planned.  This one sentence...yeah...

Funniest thing is the description tells us nothing, it's vague and open to interpretation.
The indoctrination theory has about 200 times the evidence of this theory, and yet it is (rightfully) dismissed as fanfiction.

I don't understand at all. "White" light is a combination of all visible light colors (remember ROYGBIV from science class)? All star produce these colors of the visible spectrum, so you could deduce that all planets have "white" light. This is an epic fail of an explanation, scientifically.

You missed orange

It's ROYGBIV.

Anyway, it mentions "beings of light", not planets of white. Not that I think this shows they planned it from ME1.

[tenojitsu]

I'm sure BioWare is trying to spin this that "they" donated these cupcakes themselves. Stop it, they re-gifted. It's not honorable, BioWare. If they care so much about charity, they should match what Retake has donated to charity, then I'll give them kudos, but never for re-gifting.

Haha, thanks for catching that. I'll correct it. I didn't read this theor, just what the one guy was saying the explanation was. Thanks

[Chibi Elemental]

Meh people are taking this to harshly, who cares kids got cupcakes and they kept the messages. I still am leary of the whole "Clarification" of the endings when pax rolls around but meh we shall see.

Also as for the beings of light theory, its not really mutch of one its a nod to 2001. like most of this game is a nod to some other sci-fi franchise that is really awsome.

Haha, that's pretty awesome. Good on them for giving them to the Kids too, although I hope they at least saved a few for themselves.

...Unless they were afraid someone decided to make them bittersweet by pissing on them, or something.

I love this!  And lo and behold, the fourth option was the most satisfying and right.

[johnny532]

I'm fine with how this turned out. Bioware got the message that we're still not happy about the ending and some needy kids got some tasty cupcakes, everybody wins.

This piece of "evidence" makes indoctrination theory evidence look like solid gold compared it. I see no correlation between beings of light and star kid.mi mean, it's a total stretch

And don't understand me wrong. It's very nice that they gave them to kids instead of just tossing them. I just don't thinking its worthy of any good press for them, and they shouldn't try to get any by doing it.

You even corrected it so it's now...correct. I like you.

Funnily, I remember replaying ME1 and 2 just before 3 came out so I'd remember everything, and I read EVERY planet description in the game. So many planets with helium-3...

[Ffelan]

I have no problem with this. I didn't think they'd accept and eat the cupcakes. I'm glad they went to the youth center rather than being disposed of. Some kids got a nice treat. What matters is they heard our message, what they will do about that message is up to them. It's their next move, people, it's been their next move for a while now. All we can do for now is hope and wait and occasionally remind them - in a civil way - that we are still here and waiting.
