Hold the Line: The Mass Effect 3 Protest (Generalized for Everyone)

Over the course of five years, the gaming company of Bioware has expanded into the videogame market an action-oriented, space odyssey RPG trademarked as 'Mass Effect'. Hundreds of thousands of gamers grew under the story elements of the series very greatly, the storytelling overall of the franchise being accepted as best in the business by purpose of 1. Character, 2. Theme, 3. Setting, 4. Uniqueness.

 

After close to, or even after more then, 100 hours of gameplay and emotional attatchment put into the trilogy spanning a very intense, engrossing story of a human soldier, tens, perhaps even hundreds, of thousands of Mass Effect players have spun themselves into a cultural outcry against the ending of the Mass Effect 3, the last game in the epic trilogy. Together, many of them have not only shown a great many complaints to Bioware, and Bioware's parent company Electronic Arts, but they have banded together in a desperate attempt to salvage, literally, the last 10 minutes of Mass Effect 3 and have created for them an ending to the story that befits their likings.

 

The contraversy surrounding the endings is not cut and dry. It is blunt and apparent. In the last perhaps half an hour of the series' story, it is argued that not only are dozens, maybe hundreds, of plot holes exhibited in the plot, but as an added bonus, there is no true choice in how the game ends. It has been quoted many times by Bioware developers that the ending to this franchise would consist of choice variation that had more meaning beyond 'A, B, and C,' but it is argued by the 'retakers' that the ending is nothing but and only an 'A, B, and C,' ending. It is infuriatingly been described as a flat out lie on part of Bioware, nearly on par with false advertising which could result in a class-action lawsuit.

 

Lesser, but still important, underlying complaints on the ending include: Lack of relationship resolution, lack of sensible explanations, very inappropriate ending themes, lack of setting resolution, etc.

 

It has even been said by many that the company Electronic Arts won the Golden Poo award from The Consumerist magazine by mere lack of care they are claimed to have for their customers feelings in relation to their communication with the Mass Effect fans that advocate a completely different ending be made.

I'm just waiting for the new free DLC coming out from Bioware, that will answer most of our questions, and hopefully bring closure to us fans.

I don't think they should change the ending, because whatever the new ending may be, it may just seem a little half-arsed and desperate.

I am personally in great support of the Retake movement and their goals. The actions taken by Bioware and, more importantly, EA, go very astutely against my opinions against corporatism and oligarchial decisions against the public by corporations.

I never really settled in very well knowing the corporations currently destroy lives and are responsible for modern poverty... but I am proud to be apart of the Retake movement simply over the fact that I will NOT sit idle and let corporatism ruin culture-shaping art.

They can take our money and our dignity, but they will not take our culture, our children's culture, or our children's children's culture.
