Gamers Ship 400 Cupcakes to BioWare in Protest of Mass Effect 3

[Soviet Heavy]

And if the theory that some of these cupcakes are laced with poison?

"We rage because we love"

Damned lie. People don't love Bioware. Not anymore. Just take a look around this site alone and you'll see that.

 

[TophatEmperor]

So vanilla huh... Why of all the delicious kinds of cupcakes why vanilla? Marble, strawberry, yogurt filled, why vanilla? It's so bland and boring, just like the Ma... Oh.

um...i like Vanilla...alot...


*throws grenade*


OT:

This...is interesting but also werid

 

[Gizmo]

Hopefully they won't continue to make awful endings just to get more cupcakes.

 

[Scars Unseen]

I was going to say that the cupcakes are a lie, but then I took an arrow in your base.

Looks around site; sees Bioware currently in the lead in the Semifinals for March Mayham.

You're right. No love at all.

Well 3 cupcakes wouldn't have been on a large enough scale to get attention. People are noticing because of the huge batch and that people actually ponied up the $1000 to do this. For a stunt to matter it has to be noticable.

That said, I wouldn't mind a cupcake myself... instead I have content myself walking down to Subway for tonight's dinner.

I dunno, if I worked at BioWare this would seem like more of a reason to put out controversial and rage inducing endings in the hopes of free baked goods. Making people happy makes them like you, but apparently making them froth with rage gets you cupcakes.

Would you eat cupcakes from fans who are pissed at the ending, some of whom have sent death threats?

I think this may be a sophisticated means of torturing the staff. Conversation would be


"We got sent cupcakes from fans pissed about the ending for the game."

"What's wrong with them?"

"Dunno, you try one."

"Me? You try one."


Meanwhile 400 cupcakes go stale in front of the Bioware staff because each is too afraid to try.

somebody woke on the wrong side of the bed this morning, but i do agree, i honestly didnt think the ending was that bad. i do think they were lazy making all 3 identical, but as an ending it did the job fairly well. So can't we just move on to the next franchise instead of actively trying to attack a company for one project? i mean i didnt like Dragon age II at all but yah dont see me outside there office with a mob holding torches and pitchforks.

OT: however i prefer this kind of message over a FTC Complaint.

400 cupcakes can not be divided evenly into 3 different colors.

I perused the original thread a bit yesterday, it's really something like 402, which divides into 134 of each. I was also greatly amused by someone with the idea of day 1 milk DLC and post release sprinkle DLC.

A professional bakery is making them, there will be no poison. There will however be a Marauder shields cake as well.

That is hilarious!
On topic: you have to love creative protests. Reminds me of the WBC vs Comiccon scenario. Though perhaps there could have been something less tasty sent though I can't criticize as nothing comes to mind.

 

[DevilWithaHalo]

Normally I'd rage at passive aggressiveness, but I find myself deliciously delighted by this turn of events. What a non-offensive way to make your point heard.

I will happily concede the masterminds of this endeavor one free internets, payable on receipt of a red vanilla cupcake. Cause red makes it go down faster.

 

[Tony2077]

i demand cupcakes 100 will do nicely

 

[CardinalPiggles]

You stupid cock sucker fucking nerd bitches. Let the game just go away, alright, we played it, we beat it now do something else, fucking watch a movie, play another game who fucking cares but just let ME3 go.

I second this, but we all know nerd ragers never go away, look at Star Wars fans.

It's a shame people don't use their time and energy productively in this world.

 

[Knight Templar]

That is very, very funny and I would approve, but 400 is a lot of cupcakes. I get that they needed a lot to make an impression, but this is still a bit over the top. Why not 300 anyway, are they cheaper by the 400 or something?

You need to calm down, go for a walk or bake something, that might help.

 

[anthony87]

you can't exactly ignore 400 cupcakes turning up at your door"

I know I sure as hell wouldn't.

Replace the coins with cupcakes and that's pretty much what my reaction would be.

 

[Pontifex]

we rage because we love

See. This is why I hate fanboys. That line seems like it was directly ripped out of the Hollywood book of cliche lines said by wife beaters. It sounds exactly like the kind of thing a an obsessive lunatic would say and yet fanboys say things like this without the slightest ironic intent.

People didn't like the series so much, there wouldn't be this big of an uproar about the ending.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Hahahahaha, this is pretty clever and funny. XD

I approve.
