If you're supporting #SaveMassEffect , you need to read Mass Effect Annihilation. Period, please, go read it. It's the best of the Mass Effect books and is an amazing story, period. Even if I wasn't a Mass Effect fan, I'd still love it.
I’m just an artist, so I’m doing my bit where I can.
I’m endlessly in awe of what’s been happening over the past few days. The fact that none of us simply accepted the closure of Bioware and left it at that, limiting ourselves to the occasional post on our own accounts and sad conversations with friends. Instead, we’ve come together as one united fleet, made up not only of Mass Effect fans, but of people from so many other fandoms too. A truly remarkable sense of solidarity.
#SaveMassEffect
This! Some really good ideas here. We should coordinate our efforts and figure out what to do next as a community to make bigger impact
#SaveMassEffect
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.

I'm begging you guys, please don't resort to this sort of infighting. Our best chance is as a united front. The petition, the we are Mass Effect billboard movement, we're stronger when we stand together. Petty differences mean nothing. We all want the same thing
#SaveMassEffect
So proud of all the communities coming together to #SaveMassEffect. Its great to see that petition number climbing every day, and I hope #EA sees what a mistake it was to shutter #Bioware and cancel #MassEffect.
#HoldTheLine
//Mass Effect has always had a message of diversity making us stronger. If you think diversity in Mass Effect (and media as a whole) is a bad thing, unfollow me.
Destiny community, they supported us when we needed it most. Let’s return the favor!
