User blog comment:The Milkman/Why BioWare HAS Betrayed Us/@comment-1896832-20120330135418

Honestly, I think I'm disappointed in posts like this almost as much as I am disappointed in the final 1% not making sense. Yeah, there's a lot of nitpicking problems, but at the core of it, this and other posts like it on the formerly hate-infested cesspit that was the BSN forums in the initial days of leaked content boils down to great dramatization.

Yes, what BioWare did stinks a fair bit. So much however, is blatant and rank assumption on multiple parts. One thing that SEVERELY disappointed me that you mentioned was bringing up the 'charity' thing. I am very sorry, as I am about to say something you're not going to like but I don't see it as a proof that something was bad.

I see it as a proof people have lost touch with reality.

Know why? Because in direct response to the fact they were seen as nothing but a mass of vitriol-laden rage (see metacritic bombings of their reviews) they used a charity, a cause for children to promote THEIR CAUSE. Nothing excuses that. No amount of 'terrible' ending can ever excuse the fact that they covered up their anger in the shield of a good cause for charity.

What people are doing now to give feedback is better. It should have been done sooner. Thing is, no one, on either side of this argument is clean. The rantings and ravings of fans are downright sickening because it shows a profound lack of perspective and being able to cope.

And before you call me a 'BioDrone' or defender, I will point out something -- I am an avid fan, and have been of the series since it first emerged. I disliked what they did at the ending because good lord did I ever want an ending that makes sense. (The lack of information about why people did certain things, that leaves plot holes as mentioned).

Furthermore -- the 'imagine if' argument is a sham. Saying there's no more space travel is speculation. Saying there's no more technology is speculation. Saying there's no way for anyone to communicate is speculation.

My counterpoint to the destroy ending is this -- who is to say the QECs that they had aren't working still? That's right. Angry, ticked off fans who see much of everything in negatives. Might be justified, might not be. But I don't think it helps any cause for how they did things.
