Angry cupcakes for BioWare

This is saddest case of whiny self-entitlement I've ever seen.

Gamers Send BioWare 400 Cupcakes

Proving once and for all that cupcakes are the solution to all of life's woes, a group of BioWare fans has organized a shipment of 400 delicious pastries to the Mass Effect creator's office in Edmonton, Canada.

Their goal is to protest Mass Effect 3's controversial ending by trying to prove a point about cupcakes all tasting the same or something? I dunno.

Posting on BioWare's official forums, user LoganKey writes:

We are currently trying to organize the delivery of a mass of cupcakes to Bioware's studio in Edmonton. All the cupcakes will be divided into equal parts Red, Blue and Green colors... but they will all taste exactly the same. If you'd like to participate, please check out the thread below and let us know.

This coming week, we should send Bioware boxes upon boxes of a dozen cupcakes. We are taking ideas as to what sort of notes we should have attached on each box. Some possibilities include:

- "No matter what color you choose, they all taste the same";
- "No matter what color you choose, it's all vanilla ;-D"
- "We rage because we love"

They've already raised $1,000 and enlisted the services of Edmonton-based pastry shop Fuss Cupcakes for their holy campaign.

I would generally agree with you regarding whiney self-entitled emoragers, but I must admit ... I like their style.

Their point is brought across very well - and it's not malicious at all ... if anything, it is literally tongue in cheek.

Hell, after KOTOR, SWTOR and many others, who wouldn't want to donate cupcakes to Bioware? At one point I was going to name my first born Luke Bioware Tiberius Magnetron.

Don't you normally send cupcakes to people who've done a good job?

I can imagine Bioware Offices now - "People loved ME3, look at all the free cupcakes we got! More of the same, next game!"

Exactly how I feel about it :)

It's a brilliant initiative, very tongue-in-cheek and you can't help but smile... unless you have zero sense of humour, that is.

Rock on, BioWare fans :D
 
I love how the 'enlightened' people are jumping up and down on forums in rage, spewing insults and stating how everyone else is overentitled, and the people who disliked the the ending are actually pretty calm and seeing the humorous side of the whole thing.

I find it comfortingly ironic. :D

Also, if Bioware says no to cupcakes, they deserve to die. :<

Also, if someone goes to these lengths to bring a message across, then there's no question as to whether they're true fans or not.

Bwa ha ha!

But really, we've been engaging with game developers at an unprecedented level as of late folks. Wonderful times ahead, especially if it involves cupcakes.
