@nasuyasu It might become a big problem when we talk about money. Firstly, initiator will have to become full-time responsible for advertisements, contacts, negotiations. Hence, it has to be somebody who is already a known person in the industry, somebody from the developers themselves
@PSoLCs1@austinjbooks Completely agree. Not only DAV was going wrong. EA wouldnt close a fully successful studio. Course needs correction. But if Bioware wont be saved, there will be nothing to correct. Lets focus on undoing the closure and cancellation.
@PSoLCs1@austinjbooks It is completely fair. However, its worth noting, that it was a cultural period, where the agenda was radiated isostatically, not only in DAV. I believe, this times passed and it is no longer a hot topic. Sabotaging #SaveMassEffect campaign for this cause doesn't make sense
@_Saretz Sorry, I confused your opinion for other's.
I dont have illusion about "sane minds". I am quite aware that the majority, especially on twitter, are actually not sane in general.
Let's be honest, this kind of tweet is unneccessary and unhelpful. Nobody is forcing anyone to get involved. If you don't think it will work, fine. Go about your day. Let us try, but leave your negativity out of it please. #SaveMassEffect
Hello #MassEffect Community! 👋

You could.
Some options if you want some ways to show up besides just signing and sharing the petition:
1. N7 Day Play Day: Saturday, Nov 7th
- Play Mass Effect LE on Steam (best timeslots are 11 AM–2 PM PST (2–5 PM EST / 7–10 PM GMT / 8–11 PM CET). This will create a big spike to show on SteamDB's charts as proof of demand. Console and EA App players can take screen grabs and videos and post them with the hashtag.
- ONLY play what you own. Please don't buy new copies from EA rn, so it doesn't look like the IP is earning just fine while in the vault.
2. DA Day: Fri Dec 4th
- DA fans join in to push under the #SaveMassEffect tag and prove demand for ALL of Bioware's worlds to help BOTH franchises.
3. Game Awards: Thurs Dec 10th
- Post #SaveMassEffect in the stream chats and on your feeds, especially during EA segments
- Follow the Destiny 3 campaign's "play nice" rules: Keep to one message (#SaveMassEffect), No rapid-fire repeats, and don't attack other games, studios, or their fans while they're on screen.
4. Make content
- Youtube shorts, Tiktoks, and Reels: favorite moments, characters, "what Mass Effect means to me," or explain the petition.
- All using the same hashtag and maybe a link or QR to the petition.
5. Buy ad space
- Billboards, especially digital ones which often sell short with affordable time slots.
- Youtube, Spotify, Tiktok, Reddit, and other website ads.
- Pooling money through a transparent crowdfunding website usually goes further than going solo, since many ad platforms have minimum spending
- Use text and original art, not EA logos or official artwork.
- Every Ad should point to the petition
6. For Canadian Fans
- Contact your MP and representatives, from any party. Bioware was an Edmonton studio, and the closure is a Canadian jobs story too.
7. Support the Devs
- Follow and support former BW devs in whatever they do next. We want the people who built ME5 to finish it.
8. Most importantly
- Do NOT harass devs, journalists, or other fanbases. Disagree with an article? Answer it with facts, not insults.
- Every respectful post makes it harder for anyone to dismiss us.
N7s don't give up. Keep fighting. Hold the line.
Fans continue to rally around the 'Save Mass Effect' movement, this time with a billboard at Times Square and more initiatives planned throughout the rest of the year. https://t.co/wO9HUvQ7xI
@JNavok Thats the main issue - it is exactly NOT clear if any work on Mass Effect will ever be done anymore (not counting the show).
Besides, comparing it with Claire Obscure - it actually was developed by total of 45-50 people including collaborators, but costed much more, ofc.
