I know people want to help with the #SaveMassEffect initiative and we will be opening up a GoFundMe with any overflow going to the Game Worker Hardship Fund.
It would be cool if people could donate a few dollars, but I ask that you don't break the bank for something like this. 400 EA devs and 50 BioWare devs were laid off and their lives have been changed. I know we want to Save Mass Effect, but please remember the people behind these games. This movement is for them as much as it is for us.
For those who aren't aware, this billboard will be in Times Square! To continue supporting #SaveMassEffect after you've signed the petktion, keep creating and sharing amazing stuff and rallying those around you to our message. Stand fast, stand strong, stand together!
The #SaveMassEffect petition has reached +175,000 signatures‼️
Our progress is remarkable, and we’re so close to our 200k goal. We reached 100k in less than three days. We can do it again.
We’re NOT backing down 💪

EA after butchering several IPs, mismanaging project after project, bleeding their players dry with monetizing and microtransactions, and changing the gaming landscape forever for the worse:
My favorite aspect of Mass Effect 1 that the sequels don't capture is the vast and lonesome splendor of the games' setting. In ME1 you fly to the furthest reaches of space and drive for miles across magnificent empty worlds that might never be traveled upon again. It's beautiful.
In the midst of the Save Mass Effect movement, you have a bunch of naysayers jumping in telling us "move on" and "it's over" followed by insults.
Bruh, if you moved on then move the fuck along, leave us fans to our "delusion" and go do you. Sticking around us makes zero sense.
THIS N7 DAY, IT’S TIME FOR ONE LAST RIDE. 🔴🚀
🎯 OBJECTIVE: BREAK MASS EFFECT LEGENDARY EDITION’S ALL-TIME PEAK PLAYER COUNT ON N7DAY (Steam)

Will you answer commanders?

More Mass Effect Universe detail.
First, I'm fine with a flooded inbox of threats. Par for the course. Fine with being called a liar. Fine with being informed that I apparently wrote a woke Snow White novel (news to me)...
What I'm not fine with is the insinuation that, after 600+ years, Batarians and Humans couldn't possibly find themselves in some kind of tumultuous alliance of circumstance.
The Batarians were almost wiped out. Of the surviving major powers, humanity was their closest neighbour by proximity, and humanity had the Citadel parked above Earth.
America dropped atomic bombs on Japan 81 years ago. Today, they're allies..
Humans and Batarians don't have to like each other. In fact, it's far more interesting if they don't. Imagine the banter, resentment and distrust that could come from an alliance built out of necessity rather than friendship.
It's an alliance of scrappy, dirty survivors standing against the high-and-mighty Council races and the Geth.
And, well... there's something shadowy going on behind the scenes causing the cold war.
Calling Shepard a 'walking gun rack' wasn't intended as a negative. Shepard is a soldier. Built to kick down the door, take on armies, and get the job done.
This new N7 agent is different. They need to be more precise. More surgical. Less 'kick down the front door' and more 'find another way inside.'
I also want to reiterate that this was not a trailer intended for the public, it was one of many made for internal use. Meaning it was not as polished as it would have been, it would have used original music, and had some gameplay.
Mass Effect Universe was being 'built for the fans' in that they were trying very hard to not make the same mistakes and focus on what we loved from the originals. I don't know if they would have been successful, but I do know that I was hopeful.
The Expanse show was saved by fans in the past. So the #SaveMassEffect movement has our full support.
