I don't know how old the story is.

http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Mass-Effect-3-Fans-Sending-BioWare-Cupcakes-Protest-40864.html

But it makes me want to work at Bioware.

This is so dumb

But now my life's goal is to make a game that people hate so much that they send me food to convince me to fix it

Nothing involving giving delicious cupcakes to people can be "dumb."

I worry that this sends the wrong message.

Bad ending = hundreds of free cupcakes?

If I was BioWare I'd make bad endings all the time now.

I think I'd be a little hesitant to eat any of those cupcakes.

It's not like the fans made the cupcakes, it's an order from a reputable cupcakery. I'd eat the hell outtat those cupcakes.

At first they will be utterly delicious.


But when they get to the core they will find it to be filled with s***.

lmfao

"WE'RE GOING TO DONATE MONEY TO CHARITY SO BIOWARE WILL CHANGE THE ENDING YEAH!"

"...Well that didn't get any sort of response at all SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE CUPCAKES TO BIOWARE SO BIOWARE WILL CHANGE THE ENDING YEAH!"

I don't understand why they can't just accept what they got, even though it isn't good.

Bioware already said they're doing something, most likely making a new ending.

This is just an awesome and humorous protest of the ending, poking fun at them with delicious cupcakes, there's no downside to this.

I wouldn't say a brand new ending is the most likely outcome. Probably more likely to be elaboration on what did happen.

I don't understand why people keep trying to find fault with everything the fans do.

For f***'s sake, it's cupcakes. They're expressing their displeasure while having fun with it.

ME3 players on the BioWare forums quickly raised the $1,005 needed for the cupcakes within a day.

Because fans are self entitled whiners, who will only do anything 'good' in order to get what they want.

The cupcakes are a lie.

Wait, this is Bioware, not Valve...

Yeah, I don't have a clue what they're going on about.

Are you saying people who donate money to cancer research don't want to find a cure?

I thought this was a cute little protest about the lack of variety of endings in ME3 (from what I understand from another article, all the cupcakes were vanilla flavoured, but had different coloured icing).

Maybe next time they should just send some death threats. Much cheaper.

Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet.

The cupcakes are divided into three colors: red, blue, and green. However, as the organizer notes, they "will all taste exactly the same.


LOL

Well no ****

Bioware giving away the cupcakes is symbolic of how the fans didn't like what they got and have done everything they can since they got it to get rid of it.

Smart move on Bioware's part.
