Not a controversy at all, because works of art have been changed to cater to the audience for centuries, some people are just making an appeal to emotion to tell us that we have no rights after we pay 60? for a game.SonicWaffle said:The whole controversy has been going on for a while now, regarding whether fans have any right to demand that a game (or any other work of art) ending be changed simply because they didn't like it.
Bad analogy. Not only it's hard to compare a videogame being churned out (the ending almost proves it was rushed) to a work of art, but nobody is trying to kick down the Louvre's front door, break the protective polymer cover and spray paint the Mona Lisa.SonicWaffle said:Depends where you draw the line. Is it acceptable to paint over the Mona Lisa because you don't like her smile?Vault101 said:...anyway my reasoning with the whole thing is that there is really nothing to be gained in NOT changing the ending due to "art"
We are trying to get the authors themselves to fix an actual flaw. Unless Mona Lisa was actually DaVinci in drag, the painting was probably ordered by someone paying for Leonardo's work.
People paid for Bioware's work. Why can't they ask for changes if la Gioconda probably asked for them too?
