Being friends with people who practically pleasure themselves to the mere thought of Mass Effect, I know all too well the backlash from the fans of this beloved franchise all because of the ending of the third installment. Everyone everywhere has found it appropriate to complain on internet forums about how BioWare has lost their love and the fact that there was no choice in the ending. Personally, I am not a fan of these games and I think the whole drama of the situation keeps getting better and better; and with this story, my statement seems to be correct.BioWare forum member "El_Spiko" has filed a a false advertising complaint through the Federal Trade Commission's website that is directed at EA because of the way the game was marketed. He also went to the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint.
He has stated the following:
"After reading through the list of promises about the ending of the game they made in their advertising campaign and PR interviews, it was clear that the product we got did not live up to any of those claims... This is not something I was happy to do, but after the terrible ending that was in no way the product that had been advertised to me and the lack of any kind of response from Bioware/EA to address this, I felt it was one of my only recourses."
He continues to say: "I'll be returning my copy of the game before the end of my 30 day return policy if the ending still hasn't been addressed by then."
El_Spiko is asking likeminded gamers to join his ill fated crusade and file FTC and BBB complaints. Good luck with that...
