Thanks, I love that article and love the lord of the rings comparison and I may show that to a few of my friends who haven't played the mass effect series. I actually agree with the conclusion as well about "art". (that is not as contradictory to what I wrote) ibut we both express it differently.

I believe that artist could do what they want with their work and can disregard opinions of the fans, but they have to accept the consequences of it. The consequences could be that no one likes your work and no one buys your product.If they are happy with that, then from my point of view let them be.

I think the issue here is that Bioware kind of wants the best of both worlds. They want to maintain their work and vision and they want the fams to accept it is even though their vision is completely diffferent to what fans expectation. That article brilliant mocks the idea of bioware trying to have their cake and eat it.

Either Bioware conforms and gives in and try to win back their fans or they don't and accept losing a lot of loyal supporters and both are legitimate options but they can't have ti both ways.
