Mass Effect 3 Ending Complaints Reach the FTC
Written by
  • Bioware has taken a beating over the ending to its Mass Effect trilogy.

    Now, Gamepur.com is reporting a least one fan is taking the complaints up the chain of command. User El_Spiko on the Bioware forums said:

    “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 thread has a great compilation of their claims: “http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/355/index/10056886″

    Clearly, none fo these were represented in the ending. If anyone else wishes to file a complaint (the more there are the more likely the FTC will take action) just go to FTC.gov and fill out a complaint form in the Consumer Protection section. Here’s EA HQ’s address and phone number:
    209 Redwood Shores Parkway
    Redwood City, CA 94065
    (650) 628-1500

    This is not somethign [sic] 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. 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.”

    Filed a Better Business Bureau complaint as well. They can be found at BBB.org. The BBB will at the very least notify EA of any complaints they recieve, so every complaint filed is something that EA will hear about.”

    As serious as EL_Spiko’s suggestion may have been, the idea garnered almost nothing but ridicule on Twitter:
