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

[Canadamus Prime]

Ok this is just getting ridiculous. Scratch that, this left ridiculous far behind some time ago. I mean seriously, is the ending of a video game really worth this much effort?
On the other hand, this has to be one of the better protests about it that I've seen so far.

Wait, how are you gonna equally divide 400 cupcakes into 3 colours?

It seems to me that sending them cupcakes, even with a message is more a reward than a protest.

*Cupcakes arrive at Bioware. Employees proceed to feast.*

"Hey Jerry... Where did these cupcakes come from?"
"Fans sent them. Some sort of protest about Mass Effect 3... Who knows."
"Sweet. Free cupcakes."

more like:

"Hey Jerry... Where did these cupcakes come from?"
"Fans sent them. Something about Mass Effect 3... Guess they must have really liked the ending or something."
"Sweet. Free cupcakes."

On a side note, we now know the REAL reason Bioware made the ending the way they did... cupcakes.

Halflife 2: Episode 3 will now also have a poorly-received ending so valve can get protest brownies.
and Diablo's ending is being re-written as we speak so they can get given free protest donuts.

"Oh, those dudes who've been bitching non stop about Mass Effect 3 and telling us all to go kill ourselves... want one?"
"Uhhh.. no Ill pass thanks..."

If I had a horde of angry nerds on my ass and they sent me anything edible I wouldn't risk eating it at all, no matter how delicious they may look.

All the cupcakes will be divided into equal parts Red, Blue and Green colors... but they will all taste exactly the same.

I laughed way harder than i should have.

They should also send one empty box, with a note inside, encouraging them to buy the purple cupcakes they designed after they had packaged the RBG ones.

Of course the purple cupcakes will still be vanilla.

 

[JediMB]

Vanilla cupcakes?

Shouldn't they be bitter almond?

Surprisingly fitting

OT: I love this idea. It's funny, poetic and people get cupcakes.

 

[Reaper69lol]

This is pretty awesome actuallly, and now I feel like having some cupcakes.

 

[XandNobody]

$1000 dollars on this! all those damn charity's out there needing cash and they spend it on this. Whiney little nerds. I'm going to send cupcakes to all the bullys who made there lives hell through school. The icing will say one thing. Good job!

They tried giving money to charity, it was shut down because people are too thick to read what they are donating for and thought they were bloody buying a new ending, recall.

OT: This is just cool, even if it has made me seriously want to go out and buy cupcakes now, even though it is like 4:30 in the A.M. here.

That is freakin' brilliant. Best protest in the history of yumanity (not a typo).

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

These people are fucking nuts. Who spends $1000 just to spitefully send cupcakes.

 

[Strazdas]

This is a day when i wish i worked for bioware. "free cupcakes? this was all worth it."

That is freakin' brilliant. Best protest in the history of yumanity (not a typo).

Nah, the Jericho nuts protest still beats it. Apperently they wanted the show to continue and they followed the last general words "nuts" to the letter. they started sending nuts to the studio, so much that they had to rent a warehouse to store them.

 

[Harley Bishop]

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

it's actually 402 but for some reason it gets reported as 400.

These people are fucking nuts. Who spends $1000 just to spitefully send cupcakes.

No spite intended. We've had 16 (at last count) replies from devs/mods saying things to the effect of "awesome". that's more replies than they usually give to forum threads atm

Also, with literally thousands of people on the BSN, the cost per person who decided to chip in was... negligible, to say the least.

 

[GoddyofAus]

They should have made the icing a mixture of Green, Red and Blue.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

That... that's DEVIOUS! And ingenious! And... delicious.
...
Indelivious?

 

[Blood Brain Barrier]

We've all learnt nothing from Portal.

OT: Its their money let them do what they wanna do
