Angry fans send Bioware 400 Cupcakes

[Guild McCommunist]

People really need better ways to send a message.

Piss off Anonymous for sneezing or whatever bullshit excuse they make? You get free pizza.

Have a whiny, always-unsatisified-constantly-complaining fanbase? You get free cupcakes.

I hope I can piss off my fans here so I can get a free trip to Disneyland or something.

...And that money could have been spent on sending food/supplies to starving families. First world priorities have struck again, I see.

 

[awssk8er]

Haha, that's great.

Even if they do change the ending, would you have to play through the entire last game again to get to it (Never played Mass Effect).

Nah, honestly you would probably understand the current ending more if you hadn't played the series before or were high, as it is quite surreal.

I was asking if you would have to play through the entire game again to get to the new ending, if one was made.

I really want to see this ending now... I don't see how it could be THAT bad. My brother tried explaining it to me, but like I said, never played Mass Effect.

I'll YouTube it probably.

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

Why can't fans just let devs tell the story the way the devs want to? Though I've never played the game before, many of the people who talked about it were complaining about the plot hole or w/e rather than the ending itself.

Exactly.

It's as if back in the renaissance, people were telling Leonardo Da Vinci: Hey you know what, Mona Lisa is ugly. Dump it and get rid of it. Here, draw a cat instead. Future kids love cats.

It's fucking retarded.

You're right, we have no right to spend our money on things that entertain or satisfy us.
Regardless of your opinion of their actions, they would have felt that they are making an impact of some sort.

I hate this argument. When people spend money for a cause that someone disagrees with, it's always "why not feed the starving families", as if they are donating all their excess income to third world countries. Every person who I have ever met who used this argument has never donated anything, and they buy unnecessary luxuries just like the rest of us.

Get off your high horse.

I think Bioware should hire Stephanie Meyer. she'll do a much better job than these stuck up fucks did.

and yes, I know she wrote the Twilight series.

I never said people don't have the right to spend their money wastefully; however, I also have the right to criticize them for it.

When did I say that people had to send the entirety of their fortunes to the less fortunate? That's quite a leap to make there, buddy.

I also have no problem with people spending money for a cause, even if I disagree with it. Remember that Child's Play campaign, where people donated money to a charity to make a point? Sure, I disagreed with them, but that was a great idea (at least until people started demanding their money back when they realized that they were only giving their money to a charity, but hey...).

This though? Over $1,000 spent to pretty much throw away food in order to protest such a horrific tragedy (no political or social cause, these people just found the ending to be unsatisfying)? Yeah, that shows an appalling, disgusting lack of perspective and sense. It doesn't take a "high horse" to see that.

 

[Hells Malice]

So they got mad at them, so they spent money to send them cupcakes?

$1000 worth of cupcakes, what are they showing them

It's COD (cost on delivery).
AKA Bioware had $1005 in cupcakes to pay for, that they didn't order.

I bet the staff was happy though...

...And that money could have been spent on sending food/supplies to starving families. First world priorities have struck again, I see.

If you EVER buy a videogame or ANY item or food item you didn't need, I want you to feel like absolute shit by knowing that could have gone to a poor family in need of money for food to survive.
How fucking DARE you buy yourself something with money you earned.

 

[CrimzonEyed]

Imagine the sound at bioware office later, everyone going around eating cupcakes xD

Omn nom nomnom xD

 

[CCNaru]

No, you have absolutely no right to criticize people for spending how they want.

silly liberals

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Lots of vaginas with sand in them still I see.

 

[loco365]

I honestly had no idea Bioware had a studio (was based?) in Edmonton. I would totally make the 4 1/2 hour trip to see this in person. Then I would lol and walk away.

 

[Sicklyboy]

Maybe we can get together and send EA cupcakes to make them consider publishing their games on Steam.

Maybe we can get together and send Gabe Newell cupcakes to make him consider releasing HL2:EP3 on Steam.

Wait... no, That's never gonna happen.

 

[Deleted-188346]

I never said people don't have the right to spend their money wastefully; however, I also have the right to criticize them for it.

I also have the right to criticize you for criticizing them. I also never suggested that you have no right to criticize them.

When did I say that people had to send the entirety of their fortunes to the less fortunate? That's quite a leap to make there, buddy.

It's called hyperbole.
Also, I was just stating the fact that from my personal experience, people who make that argument generally never practice what they are suggesting at all.

I also have no problem with people spending money for a cause, even if I disagree with it.

Then what's your point? The food is being sent to Bioware. If Bioware throw the food away, then they are the ones being wasteful.

This though? Over $1,000 spent to pretty much throw away food in order to protest such a horrific tragedy (no political or social cause, these people just found the ending to be unsatisfying)? Yeah, that shows an appalling, disgusting lack of perspective and sense. It doesn't take a "high horse" to see that.

As said before, if Bioware don't eat the cupcakes or they don't find others to eat the cupcakes, then they are the ones wasting food. The fans purposefully chose a bakery in close proximity to Bioware to avoid spoilage.

Infact, in comparison to the overall attitude of hostility that the anti-ending groups have shown, this is sweet.

 

[Gahars]

No, you have absolutely no right to criticize people for spending how they want.

silly liberals

How is this a political issue? $1000 of wasted food is wasted food no matter what your political ideology.

Plus, how would that be exclusively liberal? Don't many conservatives criticize people for the purchase of contraceptives and other materials they consider to be immoral?

There would never be enough cupcakes to sate the hunger of Gaben.

I also have the right to criticize you for criticizing them. I also never suggested that you have no right to criticize them.

I could keep on going with the "I never said you didn't have the right to..." bit, but that's just going to take us in circles.

It's called hyperbole.

What? Hyperbole? No, really? Never before have I been confronted with such a rhetorical device!

Also, I was just stating the fact that from my personal experience, people who make that argument generally never practice what they are suggesting at all.

If that's all you were doing, then why bring it up in the first place? The implication was pretty transparent.

Then what's your point? The food is being sent to Bioware. If Bioware throw the food away, then they are the ones being wasteful.

And now Bioware's the one at fault, not the people making the massive order of food in the first place? So you're proposing placing blame on the people being (essentially) pranked here?

Infact, in comparison to the overall attitude of hostility that the anti-ending groups have shown, this is sweet.

Outwardly hostile or not, it's still a massive waste, especially considering that there are far more constructive out there (like the Child's Play campaign mentioned above, even if that didn't go as planned).

(Liked your post because I cannot, in good conscience, ignore a pun with a good rimshot worked in)

 

[Skelletonike]

Hum... I'm wondering why they picked such expensive cupcakes tho.. Usually a cupcake costs from 0.50€ to 1.50€, and that's in €, which is worth more than the dollar... Man... For an angry crowd of fans, they sure picked the good stuff...

 

[Deleted-188346]

I could keep on going with the "I never said you didn't have the right to..." bit, but that's just going to take us in circles.

It sure will. You shouldn't have started it by suggesting that I wasn't aware of your right to criticize others.

What? Hyperbole? No, really? Never before have I been confronted with such a rhetorical device!

You didn't seem to understand that I wasn't suggesting that you specifically made the statement. It was an intentional exaggeration that related to the overall nature of people that use argument from my experience, not anything that you stated specifically. Went right over your head.

If that's all you were doing, then why bring it up in the first place? The implication was pretty transparent.

Because I was just expressing my general tiredness with the types of people that make that argument. I stated very specifically "every person I have ever met has never donated". I didn't state "every person who makes this argument has never donated".

And now Bioware's the one at fault, not the people making the massive order of food in the first place? So you're proposing placing blame on the people being (essentially) pranked here?

I never said they were at fault. They haven't thrown the food away yet. And I haven't laid blame on anybody. In my opinion, nothing wrong has happened yet. It's a gift of food that hopefully matches the amount of staff at that location. A gift with a cause behind it. They aren't trolling them with excessive amounts of cupcakes.

Outwardly hostile or not, it's still a massive waste, especially considering that there are far more constructive out there (like the Child's Play campaign mentioned above, even if that didn't go as planned).

It's only a waste if it isn't eaten.

Can't we all just get along? Oh, wait, this is the internet... Nevermind.
