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

[malestrithe]

This could be a good trend. Now we need to convince every whiny Star Wars fans to cupcake bomb George Lucas with cakes showing Han Firing first, maybe he'll get the point to.

No wait this is kind of stupid. The only thing sweet things tell me is that I've done a good job and I'm rewarded for my efforts. These angry fans are rewarding the people that supposedly screwed up.

Yep, some one at Bioware is sitting around eating their cupcakes and thinking, "What else could I do to sell millions of games and get the fans to reward me with cupcakes? Oh, I know lets release DLC that implies that the whole Mass Effect series was a dream(or something equally dumb)!"

Off topic: Now that the escapist is making us type in ads to post wouldn't if be funny if EA bought ads to make you type 'I love Mass Effect 3's ending' before you post?

And then one of the bakers realized that the cupcakes weren't being used to directly energize the team that would redo the ending and demanded his cupcakes back.

Hell, as long as they're not demanding people to return money they donated to children, I don't care how people protest anymore.
Although, I would actually be pleased if I recieved 400 cupcakes, even if they did all taste the same.
Wait... did Mass Effect 3 have 400 endings?
Well no wonder they all sucked, I wouldn't be able to design 400 different endings to perfection!

400 cupcakes

...
I'm assembling a team.
We'll need the best, and people we can trust. Our goal is one frought with peril, but the payoff will be so sweet. We will infiltrate the BioWare headquarters at Edmonton. Those cupcakes will be ours, and no one will even know we were there.

Accepting applications until Friday. We must move quickly, lest our bounty be devoured.

Attacking Bioware's headquarters would require passing through the Edmonton-4 Relay

No Fanboy has ever returned from doing so

i hear they got that fierce Marauder Shields guarding the shipment, so prepare accordingly

 

[Link Kadeshi]

They need to send a letter before the cupcakes that states there will be 16 different flavors of cupcakes, that will be totally different depending on your choices, and that it wont be a simple and standard A, B, or C decision.

 

[Gigatoast]

I scooped you guys! HAHA!

 

[Big.Bad.Blowback]

Fan: "So did you like the cupcakes"

BW: "They were great. You have really shown us how much you care."

Fans "So is their going to be a new ending?"

BW: "Sadly not, we are not willing to change the end of our story."

Fans "Well that is too bad. The antidote was in the 'Congratulation on the new ending' shipment. If you need us we will be cancelling the an order."

 

[GeneralFungi]

I'm confused, tell me again why the cupcakes are supposed to be a bad thing? I mean maybe it's just the way things work in my family, but if you are given a cupcake it's probably because you did something good and the giver wants you to keep doing it. I mean what the hell is the message here, "Make something we don't like and we'll send you pastry?" How is that supposed to discourage them? Are they hoping the Bioware staff will get diabetes?

I think it's more "We don't like how Mass effect 3 turned out either, but we don't hate you. To prove this, here's 400 cupcaakes." Not all forms of protest have to involve screaming.

 

[OManoghue]

Yes, I have angered the BioWare fanboys. Good, good.

 

[Podunk]

Better yet, don't even frost them. Just dye them different colors. And maybe put an anchovy in them or something. Just went from metaphor to BETTAPHOR.

 

[Frotality]

see, this is how you protest. now when someone starts ignorantly spouting how we are all a bunch of entitled whiners, we can say "oh yes, we are so entitled that we sent them 1000$ worth of cupcakes so they would hear us out. how selfish of us!"

 

[DrWilhelm]

As much as I aplaud such a creative mode of protest, I kind of suspect Bioware would have to destroy the cupcakes, because what if they're poisoned? Unlikely, but still, you just know theres some douchebag out there who'd mix laxatives into the icing at least.

HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT PROTESTS BE REASONABLE!!! WHAT KIND OF COMMIE/GAY/NAZI (cross out as appropriate) ARE YOU!!! DAMN IT BOY, I SHOULD [unintelligable swearing]!!!

What? The neutral guys who made and delivered the cupcakes? I somehow doubt they would do that.

It's the risk factor I think, more than the actual propability. Theres probably some over the top health and safety rule about it anyway /shrug.

I still think it's an awesome idea though.

 

[antipunt]

You think Bioware will eat them? I'm guessing prob not, my first reaction (if i were them) would be expecting dog poo to be a secret ingredient somewhere

 

[Smurf McSmurfington]

This is possibly one of the more awesome forms of protest ever, in the history of hoomankind.
