Soooo....Mass Effect 3

[Armin]

Actually, legal proceedings concerned, Jester, I'm pretty much 100% with you here. I very much doubt that any of the argumentation, logical and valid as it may be, would hold any water in court.
From my German point of view I actually doubt that any formal complaint would even *go* to court here; my guess would be that any judge would dismiss the claim in advance on formal reasons alone.

BUT, the point that I was trying to make by mentioning the talk about law suits, FTC complaints and class action suits spooking through people's heads is the sheer *scope* of how much people feel cheated, lied to and betrayed by a company they used to love.

BioWare, in one single act of greed or stupidity, has managed to destroy 10+ years of reputation building, killed their community (which has degraded into flame wars, insults and stubborn denial of each others points) and destroyed not only their own credibility, but also those of dozens of magazines and internet sites, that blindly and ignorantly repeat their PR platitudes and fail to even recognize objective facts.

Thankfully, in the pen&paper campaign I have been running over the last 3 years, MY Mass Effect Story (D20 modern/future rules) will end the way this epic deserves...
