Turn it on/Turn it off for Bioware
Facts:
- Whether you are hopeful or cynical about the new Ending DLC, one thing is clear: it's Bioware's last, best chance to win back the fanbase.
- It is in everyone's interest that the DLC be a fitting conclusion to this amazing series.
- Bioware is currently in the process of finalizing plans for the DLC, including allocating resources for its creation.
- Because many people have not been playing the SP campaign, EA may have the mistaken impression that SP is a "lost cause" and so may not fund the Ending DLC properly -- especially since they are committed to giving it to us for free.
- EA/Bioware can monitor the number of people playing Mass Effect 3 through Origin, and we can use this to give them relevant data about ourfuture buying habits.
---------------------------------------
We propose giving EA and Bioware immediate feedback on the importance of the Ending DLC, so they can allocate sufficient resources to make a quality product.
To that end, we propose the following campaign:
We will turn ON our single player game during a pre-defined period to show EA/Bioware the number of passionate fans who love the series andwho will continue to buy their products IF the DLC provides a satisfactory ending.
We will then turn OFF our game and refuse to play for a pre-defined time period to give EA/Bioware a clear idea of the potential loss of custom and support they will suffer if the DLC is NOT satisfying.
How to take part:
- Turn ON the Mass Effect 3 single player campaign at some point during Saturday, April 28th (Pacific Time/GMT -7). It does not need to be on for the entire 24 hour period.
- Tweet Bioware/EA (#turnMEon) to let them know you are playing in order to show them the number of fans who support them. Post an after action report on the BSN.
- Turn OFF Mass Effect 3 do not play either single or multiplayer for the entirety of Sunday, April 29th (Pacific Time/GMT -7). The game must be shut off for the entire 24 hour period. Do not login to the BSN forum during this time. If you have an iPhone or iPad, turn off the Datapad app using the orange Origin circle in the upper right hand corner.
- Tweet Bioware/EA again (#turnMEoff) to let them know you are demonstrating their potential loss of customers. This is a good time to let them know if you're happy with closure or want new endings.
That's all! The greater the difference between the two days, the more incentive EA will have to fund the DLC properly. Bioware is more than capable of giving us an amazing conclusion to this saga if they have the financial support to do it right.
