I recognize a great loss of supporting signatures and threads about it, the official Facebook page got completely silent, fundraisers are closed, cupcake action lays some time in the past...

What about "Hold the Line"?
Did the movement got finally killed with the Extended Cut or what?

the younger complaining players found another game to go complain about.

I suppose there's only so much time most people can allocate to a game. Sometimes it's better to cut your losses than to waste months of your life fretting about something you're ultimately not gonna change.

Well they achieved their goal. Bioware are releasing the extended cut that will provide more closure.

Some people have been banned for obvious reasons. Some people gave up on BioWare, Some are waiting for the extended cut DLC. Some may have moved on to other games at the time being. That's just on these boards. The Retake movement is going on and evolving to a Retake Gaming movement apparently.

It might blow up again if the EC doesn't meet their expectations. I mean, I'm super grateful that they were able to be heard and I, too, was disappointed in the game and signed a few petitions. But I wasn't as active because I do believe that BW WILL do whatever they want with their games.

Whether or not BW would lose my trust and I'd be totally turned off from purchasing or supporting their work later is up to the EC.

But it's the ate-a-fantastic-dinner-but-saw-a-roach-on-my-plate-near-the-end situation with me. I still have a bad taste in my mouth and just scratching my butt at this moment.

What did they want? That was the impression they gave me, more closure.

Thank the Maker. Perhaps the forum will slowly become a platform to discuss Mass Effect as a whole again.

Different endings is not the same thing as more closure.  Some of us want more options than synthesis, control and destroy.  The Reapers winning by destroying everyone and the galactic forces winning through some other means than the star child's options are the most requested I believe.  Although some want the star child completely removd.

It seemed to me that the largest demand of the movement was for a happier ending, which they may or may not be getting, we will have to wait and see.

No, they went into stasis to wait until the rEApers return to Dark Space.

Two things are going on...

1. Many people have simply moved on. They are playing other games are not giving much thought to Mass Effect 3 anymore.

2. Bioware announced DLC that would extend the ending. While not everyone was happy with the announcement, many are taking a 'wait and see' approach. I expect this place to get a lot more active after that DLC is released, for either better or worse.

That's good. As a whole, the gaming industry needs a swift kick in the pants.

Isn't some of those wants a tad unrealistic?

A new ending? Removing the star child from the game?

I thought it was in 'Wait and See' mode until the extended cut is released. *shrugs*

They are waiting for the extended cut DLC before taking further formal action.

When you neutrally think about it: Yes. Huge enthusiasm was with us back then. It got lost with time and only those remained who believed in IT. After the Extended Cut announcement, they got slashed too and now... here we are.

It's a video game. Unless you really have absolutely nothing else to live for, usually other things catch up and forces people to move on.

Some yes.  But I don't see how adding additional endings to the current ones is a big deal.  I'd be happy with fleshing out the whole thing about star child, EMS dependent victory situations from conventional warfare including a Reaper victory.  Not to mention more epilogue scenes dealing with the fallout of all those choices.
