Child's Play campaign?
Fabulous, at least until the charity itself was too exposed.

Cupcake campaign?
Deliciously funny and ended in a very good way.

Billboard campaign?
The worst sh*tty stupid idea that a 4-year-old could ever come up with, and lo and behold some people are actually taking it seriously.

I am always amazed at the sheer amount of resources that sometimes certain people seem to have available. It's clear evidence that a good taste and intelligence does not correlate with wealth.

I wish this campaign to be flushed down the toilet.

And forgotten.

And fast.

RIGHT NAU.

Thanks I needed a laugh. Every time I checkup to see if Bioware is going to fix the gamertag glitch (no) there's always something from you people that gives me a good chuckle.

(You people being whoever is going to put up a giant ass billboard)

I'm just glad Kal'reegar didn't have a catch phrase as memorable as "Hold the Line".

Thank you for your response! We're listening to you! What is your favorite part of the retake movement?


The part where everyone can't decide what they are in for. And when right after that the group goes supernova.

This is absoloutely ridiculous. If you're going to do it please dont attach it to the retake movement.

How about you donate your money to a good cause instead, like a charity again.

Is anyone taking retakers seriously anymore ?
They are worth a few laughs here and there. Nothing more.

This is not Retake, it's a small group on holdtheline.com, they have now just presented a vote whether to continue with the billboard idea www.holdtheline.com/threads/continuing-with-the-billboard-campaign-or-not-community-discussion.833/


Ok so if the retake movement has nothing to do with this and it is a separate group, why are they using "Retake Mass Effect" phrase in their campaign ?

Like in the other thread :

The Retake movement isn't exactly a highly centralised campain, with clear membership and leaders.  Anyone protesting the endings can technically be considered a "Retaker".  So while this is a part of the movement, I don't think it can  be said that the billboard campain, or any other campain ultimately encompases the whole group.

I refuse this notion!

I absolutely think that the ending is a turd but I dont want to be associated with the Retake movement.

I WILL SHOW YOU NO MERCY.

To Update - This Campaign is
suspended until further notice. Our intention has never been to divide
the movements involed, and seeing as how this campaign threatens that,
it has been suspended pending review. We are currently taking climate
polls to judge the complete feel of the entire community (both Retake
and HTL) and we pray that any damage done by announcing our intentions
can be reversed.

I would like to attempt to contain this, but I
think it may be difficult at this point. Please be assured that as the
head of this initiative, know that I did not know this thread existed
until now. I wont get into details, but aside from the information
provided in the original post, I am not tied to any information or
opinions provided here.

THIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN SUSPENDED.

If
you would like to be a part of the fate of this campaign, please join
us on the Holtheline.com forums to discuss where this is going, and how
we can focus on an initiative more of the community can get behind and
support.

I personally am sorry that this has been both portrayed and received in the way is has been.
I
take responsibility for this campaign, and any concerns you have
regarding can be directed to me. I appreciate your concerns and we are
doing everything we can to rectify this. Please understand that division
was never our intent.

Go donate to Wasteland 2 guys. Send your money to a studio who will listen to their fans.

My money went to Zenescope for their animated series. Common priorities!

This is so humiliating for the "Retake" people and you don't even know it.

You're spending money to do this? You know people are being murdered by their own government in Syria today? You could raise awareness of that. People are dying of countless diseases. You could raise awareness of that. Yet... You're trying to get a billboard so you can raise awareness that a videogame didn't conform to your expectations?

I'm embarrassed for you.

Maybe we should just Devil Egg Bioware and EA headquarters. A lot cheaper.

There's proving a point and beating the ever living $h*+ out of it.  THIS is beating the ever living $h*+ out of it. 
It's a video game.  You didn't like the ending, we get it.  Life goes on.  If Bioware stops making product that you like, then stop buying from them.  It's just that simple.
I'm not a big fan of the ending, but Bioware got the message and are doing something about it.  Anyone who thinks they are just going to overhaul the whole ending while they are still making is fooling themselves.
FYI: EA stock dropped dramatically between 2008-2009.  More than this little dip post ME3 which I'm not convinced is a causal relationship.

By all means you can go ahead and do your billboard, but you're not getting any donation from me. I'll just sit on the sidelines with a chair and beer and watch the show.

Why are you guys still doing this? Bioware won't change the ending, The Extended Cut is the best that you will get. Just stop, seriously

Allow me to visualise my reaction to this particular idea.

Note that the moustache represents my lingering discontent with the endings, and former grudging support of a potential revision.

This is really getting out of control. All you are doing is insulting the developers of Mass Effect at this point and that's not OK. These guys and gals have worked really hard, and are really trying. Regardless of whether they "get it right or wrong" it's not OK to continuously shove insults and hatred into their faces. Hell, I'm not even sure I'd want to come to work anymore after this constant berating let alone want to appease anyone. I certainly wouldn't be putting my 100% into my job nor would I be at my creative best. All your doing is hurting all of us, including yourselves and your cause at this point.
