Agreed. I haven't played any Mass Effect games (thought about it, but as the original isn't available on PS3 it seemed a bit pointless to play only 2/3 of a Trilogy) but I can't help admire some of the strategies employed by the foaming-at-the-mouth fans. Brilliant stuff.Allthingsspectacular said:
If I got cupcakes every time I made people angry I would go out of my way to annoy people. I would think of it more as a reward then a protest if I was a Bioware employee.
My captcha is a bad influence. Its telling me to drag race.

Whatcha do for a living? If it's something people tend to get emotional about, you might have a shot at it...mental_looney said:Cool idea, nice way to protest without being negative about it or giving a bad impression. Shame no angry fans will send cupcakes to my office.

Didn't you hear; the gaming media, developers and publishers have to close ranks otherwise the unwashed fans may actually achieve some sort of say in the medium, that would be the worst thing ever. When the people who pay for the medium get a say it's no longer art and sets the medium back decades...Therumancer said:
OT A brilliant idea. This ME3 thing seems to be finally the limit of what gaming companies can do before the fans actually do organise and do something about it. I wonder what those "oh complaining never does anything" drones are thinking now.

And, have you heard of ad blockers?? I haven't had a youtube ad, banner ad or flashing mofo ever since I installed it.

P.s. Isn't it terrible when you go into a thread only to realize everything you wanted to say has already been posted?
...First I thinking a combination of "WTF" and "now they are bringing MLP into this..."
Now... I'm conflicted... do I laugh my ass off or salute them with respect?
Because this is brilliant!

MMO support so unlikely to come to us more like to the devs, who are already spoilt and don't need cakeTheCaptain said:Whatcha do for a living?

You probably just need to make sure who's the one making the fans angry. Should be possible if what you're an in-game csr...mental_looney said:MMO support so unlikely to come to us more like to the devs, who are already spoilt and don't need cakeTheCaptain said:Whatcha do for a living?

Also, I lol'd at the notion of devs who're already spolit and don't need cake.
Well, if you look at the recipe you can see several plot holes that only make sense if this is part of another, more elaborate dessert that the group was planning on releasing later as DLC (Delicious-Laced Content).Jack the Potato said:
Apologists of the cupcakes will insist that Bioware is pissed at the way the cakes tasted, not at the lack of promised variety among them.
Rumours of a top-secret bonus cake will surface if you did the mandatory prep and cleanup.
Fun Fact: They've actually made so much extra money from this drive they're thinking of either commissioning a cake featureing the likeness of the movement's mascot "Marauder Shields" from the same bakery, or just dumping the rest into another "RTME3" themed charity.
