that is the most awkwardly spiteful thing to do. "you ruined the series for us Bioware so watch as we help children!"

BioWare donated the cupcakes to charity: Hi Everyone
Today, we received the 400 cupcakes you collectively sent us through your donations to express your feelings about the endings of Mass Effect 3. We want you to know; we are indeed listening to all fan response and acknowledge your feedback. We appreciate creative and thoughtful attempts like this one.
The gesture certainly gained our attention both with its creativity and deliciousness. However, while we do appreciate that fans were creative in how they expressed their views, after a lot of discussion, we decided ultimately the reason that they were sent was not done in the context of celebrating the work or accomplishment of the Mass Effect 3 team. This is a subtle, but important aspect in determining how to pass the feedback to the team.
BioWare regularly works with many deserving charities, as such it was decided that rather than passing out the cupcakes to staff or wasting good food, to donate them on behalf of our fans to a local Edmonton youth shelter. We know that for the kids that have to use this facility, something as simple as a cupcake is a rare treat and would definitely brighten up their day. Thank you to the fine folks at the local youth shelter for accepting the donation and to the fans who donated the cupcakes.
Please keep providing your feedback on Mass Effect 3, we’re still listening.

i'm not sure if they are utterly pissed or not. either way they rolled with the trolls.
this has been the most awkward fight ever. its a war of clever jokes and niceties with the involvement of charities. its a war of generosity in the name of being upset.
idk its justs seems wrong. donate to charities all the time not in the name of some hateful arguments

I think the original charity run was fine but continuing with another one seems like a desperate cry to keep themselves in the spotlight. They're going to be pissed regardless because BioWare won't change the ending, the closure DLC will be the best they get. --------------------------- Get this, someone predicted the ending two years ago: social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/105/index/970146/1Exactly. There are two endings I wouldn't like for ME 3. One being a random GOD LIKE force that saves the Galaxy or another being that to defeat the Reapers, everyone has to become a primitivst and destroy the Relays, Citadel, etc. Both would make me pretty unhappy as those endings have been done to death.

i just hate that the decisions circumstances were invented. "okay here are the rules i made up and you can only fallow these choices with no variation to either of them."

*sigh* it wasn't really funny. it practically copies the Watchmen saturday morning cartoon verbatim, but the Watchmen cartoon was funnier because of the irony. This is just done for the hell of it. Mass Effect was never as deadly serious as Watchmen so yeah I don't really get it.

I thought it was pretty funny. The Watchmen cartoon was a parody of superhero cartoons from the 80s, while this one was pretty much a parody of rock band cartoons from that era. Not as funny as saturday morning watchmen. but funny for what it was worth. And still better than the Mass effect 3 ending

i was annoyed by her cameo. it felt pointless and stupid. Especially since Emily Wong (Who it's assumed died during the Reaper's arrival: twitter.com/#!/AllianceNewsNet) or everyones favorite punching bag could have filled the role easily. But hey, she's from IGN.
