Can anyone honestly and wholeheartedly tell me that this isn't getting ridiculous?
The whole RetakeME3 thing is all well and good, but there are a small number of people dragging the whole thing down, making a mockery of it and making the civilised "protesters" look bad.
You need an Eject button on peoples profiles.
This, amongst other suggestions in the main thread at the Social Network, is only going to result in hurting BioWare financially. Some may say that's a good thing and will get them moving on the subject, but all of this talk about boycotts and mass cancelling of TOR subscriptions and whatever else is only going to hurt sales. Declining sales will result in job losses for a good many talented people, and eventually, if they manage to carry this on long enough, EA may decide that it would be better in the long run to just shut down BioWare completely and forget the whole thing happened.
At the very least, if everyone mass boycotted ME3 MP, they'd just shut the servers down, ruining it for everyone else, because the upkeep cost far outweighs the actual usage. But of course, some may see that as a victory.
Obviously that's at the extreme end of all of this action, and hopefully one side or the other gives in before it can get that far. Hopefully the FTC just laughs this one of the office and files it away with the Titanic.

This guy pretty much left the reservation, and pulled an A-hole move. Getting the feds involved
However, how is it those "y'all are nothing but entitled piece of **** "fans"" found their way to the comment section... How's that helping anything... That kinda ****ed me off. If you agree he went to far, awesome, I do too. However there's no need to insult and try to enrage the entire idea behind it. There will always be extremist behind every idea, no need to judge the whole thing because of a few idiots.
Sorry, maybe I'm just tired... are you referring to my post at all, or are you just using the general "you" to talk about the comments on the GI item?
General "you"
Oh okay, heh. Just wanted to make sure. I really should learn my lesson and avoid reading or posting when I'm tired, since more often than not it ends up in misunderstandings.
I'd just like to clarify for my own peace of mind, that I have no problem with Take Back ME3, or RetakeME3, or one of the other number of things they're called. I don't agree with them, but I'm not gonna say they're wrong or stand in the way. It's just the small minority of the group taking it to an extreme and dragging the message of the group into the gutter. Better to make it known the "extremists" speak only for themselves.
Hell, if they succeed in convincing BW to do another ending we get more gameplay and that's fine by me.
I want Omega DLC, must assist Aria with "Employing Violence".
That'd be fun. We've heard all about how much ass Aria has kicked in her life. It'd be cool to see her in action. Plus I'd like to go back to Omega.
Maybe she'll be "appreciative" of your help for Harem Shep.

Well I think that could be a good DLC. But to those groups or pages or what ever they are. Its not really going to do anything at all.
