BioWare's protest cupcakes donated to charity - Polidicks

OH GOD I CANT BELIEVE THEY DONATED THEM TO CHARITY WHAT ASSHOLES you guys are such babies

Lmao does no one else see how completely rediculous this situation is but me They rasied [i]funds[/i] for over [i]400 cupcakes[/i] to be sent at bioware because they didn't like the ending to a video game. Yes, the ending was shit and should have been done much better. [i]But seriously?[/i] Jesus christ people. No wonder Michael Moore is so fat

I'm pretty sure this whole thing is a giant PR conspiracy. :tinfoil:

[QUOTE=JimmyA;35427880]Its not a cliffhanger at all.[/QUOTE] A cliffhanger would've been better though.

[QUOTE=zombini;35411092]That was nice of them, but they are turning into a shitty company now like EA.[/QUOTE] Holy shit, fine, you didn't like the ending, but that doesn't make them a bad company. Just means their writing staff took a strange turn towards the end of a very well received game series.

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35429354]Holy shit, fine, you didn't like the ending, but that doesn't make them a bad company.

I'm not saying it might be true or not, but it's possible. It doesn't mean the entirety of Bioware is a bad company, though.

[QUOTE=Van-man;35428879]A cliffhanger would've been better though.[/QUOTE] no it wouldn't, the ending is fine so long as you understood the 3 choices.

[QUOTE=JimmyA;35429535]no it wouldn't, the ending is fine so long as you understood the 3 choices.[/QUOTE] What's there to understand? Tell me, because I get pretty much the same damn shit no matter what I choose, except that someone dicked around with the Hue settings in the animation program.

I'm surprised Bethesda didn't have to go through this when everyone hated the original Fallout 3 ending. Or have gamers just become more fickle and thick as pig shit?

I... can't be angry with them when they give cupcakes to poor children o.e

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;35430331]Umm people were mad at the Fallout 3 ending because you couldn't keep playing after it like you could in their other games and even then they LISTENED to the community and eventually rectified that issue.[/QUOTE] Yeah but you had to fork out 10 bucks first.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;35430415]Yeah but you had to fork out 10 bucks first.[/QUOTE] Implying that that DLC ONLY let you play past the ending when in reality it also adds about 5 hours of content give or take.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;35430550]Implying that that DLC ONLY let you play past the ending when in reality it also adds about 5 hours of content give or take.[/QUOTE] That's true. Still, if you wanted to play past the ending, you had to shell out money first. Money for good content but still.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;35430550]Implying that that DLC ONLY let you play past the ending when in reality it also adds about 5 hours of content give or take.[/QUOTE] It gave you a very small amount of content. Also it took Bethesda 7/8 months to release Broken Steel. And Bioware has implied it's going to make a DLC for a new ending or something along the lines of that.

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35430685]It gave you a very small amount of content. [/QUOTE] 5 hours for the main quests, 14 new perks, level cap raised by 10, a bunch of new side quests, new armor, new weapons. Sorry, going to have say you're wrong.

Implied, but they promised nothing, but since they don't even keep the promises they do make I could see why they wouldn't.

I don't really understand sending cupcakes as a message of disapproval, wouldn't it make more sense to write formal letters telling them how disappointed they were? What the hell is Bioware supposed to do? eat the cupcakes in shame?

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;35430832]5 hours isn't a "very small" amount of content for a DLC plus it was pretty good content so yeah, you're wrong there.[/quote] 5 hours is not exactly that much. [quote]Implied, but they promised nothing, but since they don't even keep the promises they do make I could see why they wouldn't.[/QUOTE] ME3 JUST came out recently, expecting them to churn out a DLC immediately is a bit insane.

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35430846]Small compared to other DLC.[/QUOTE] Umm no? And what "other DLC" would this even be? [editline]4th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35430866] ME3 JUST came out recently, expecting them to churn out a DLC immediately is a bit insane. [/QUOTE] Huh, that's funny, I don't recall saying they should shit it out immediately. I can wait.

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35430846]Small compared to other DLC.[/QUOTE] Not if we're asking EA or Activision :haw:

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35430866]5 hours is not exactly that much.[/QUOTE] Actually it is.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;35430930]It's kinda hard to ignore 403 cupcakes landing on your doorstep.[/QUOTE] Weren't you JUST complaining about how easily they ignored it?

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35431002]Weren't you JUST complaining about how easily they ignored it?[/QUOTE] No.

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35431002]Weren't you JUST complaining about how easily they ignored it?[/QUOTE] His point is that it's hard to not notice it. Even here they didn't ignore it, they just pretended to not understand.

[QUOTE=teh pirate;35431052]His point is that it's hard to not notice it. Even here they didn't ignore it, they just pretended to not understand.[/QUOTE] What do you expect them to do?

[QUOTE=JimmyA;35431282][sp]Shepard's indoctrinated by the Reapers, pay heavy-attention to everything that is said and happens.[/sp][/QUOTE]The iphone app about how Mass Effect 3 was made verifies that the Indoctrination theory is false, and even comes with copies of notes made while brainstorming the ending. They look like they were written on a napkin, and have specific lines about how they should make the ending intentionally insubstantial just because.
