This is a good movement. I'm not sure it'll hurt them much just due to pure numbers, but if people stick to it, then good on everyone involved. This is the only way you can REALLY vote on something with a company that will matter.

Exaclty, with each member avoiding at least one future game purchase, if not multiple, and at nearly 300 members, we're already hurting them in the 5 figure range just with our current numbers.
6 figures, they start to get annoyed, and we gain more steam, 7 it gets interesting, and by then we'll have enough numbers to possibly take this in directions to hurt that bottom line further.
One step at a time.

lol even at the peak of hatred you could only muster 56,000. You honestly think you can get more now that people are bored, tired, embaressed, moved on, and some are even switching sides and happy? Good luck on your cause to not buy products but dwell on their forums
Go look at Jessica chobot's twitter and look at the name calling and childish behavior towards her today. You want to be apart of that and taint your online image? be my guest, but when you grow up... Bioware and EA will still be here making millions

After PAX, I'd say they lost many who switched sides.
Either way, this is a one step at a time thing.
For me, this is about much more than the ME3 ending. This is about fighting back and hurting the bottom line, using capitialism and banding together. And what;s wrong with that?
Yeah for now, it won't be much, but hey, we're taking this one step at a time. If we get to 56,000, we can easily do more than just **** about ME3.

You think so? PAX offered explainations on a few things. It revealed two free DLCs which many were excited about. I didn't get an angry vibe. Not even TAO seems too upset, she appeared more depressed than anything and isn't she one of your biggest supporters? That can't look good.
There is a lot wrong with Capitalist America but to start on a video game over something more meaningful seems worthless, especially clinging on to "YOU PROMISED!" when other companies gaming at that promised more and told you more lies LionHead Studios comes to mind.

Yet they ignored the tons of fans who came to grill them on the ending.
There's more to life than just sustaining yourself, quality of life, thus entertainment is important too. As important as needs are, life isn't worth living without wants, otherwise we just exist, and what fun is that?

So everyone who wants the same thing is on the same side? Good to know that since I want to live I'm the same as... catholics, jews, budists, shintoists, etc. Also since I want to play games I'm automatically a fan of Gears of War, Crackdown, Dynasty Warriors. Good we cleared this up, I was beginning to think I was an athiest who didn't really care for any of those games.
EDIT: Also you fitures are way off. If we estimate that 300 of us dont buy a single game at 60 USD, then were looking at 180,000 USD loss. Thats a single game. So to be fare we'll cut that by.... 20%, leavign us with 14400 USD loss. And that isnt counting if we would have purchased DLC at 3-10 USD a pack, of if we were buying a collectors edition of said game, any other games we might not purchase because of that EA sticker (and if those would have been collectors editions), etc.

We still need to be civil and calm. Bioware is still in full PR mode. They are locking up threads left and right to reduce the damage we are doing. Dont give them a reason to shut this one down too.

Luckily X4:Rebirth will be coming out shortly. Then there's also Assassin's Creed 3 in October.
At least Ubisoft hasn't lost their magic. And with EA now being voted the worst company in America, hopefully they will say no when EA approaches them with the same offer that has destroyed so many other developers.

BioWare has made it abundantly clear that they don't need me or any of the customers that feel like they got an inferior product. No problem. I don't need them either. Hence, the walking away. I'm saying I'm done with the ME series. BioWare products are no longer a "slam dunk" in my book. I'll wait to hear about consumer and reviewer responses or reviews first, maybe even how they end up handling this in the end. But, for now, I'm done with the negativity. It's cathartic to walk away.

You obviously didn't read through our mission statement...
Your comment was addressed. Please re-read and reconsider.
Free DLC is great, and it is a step in the right direction. However, it doesn't address our main concerns, which is a lack of quality and general idiocy going on at Bioware and EA.
