TStael: Having seen a backlash on such a literary figure as Lee, for a difficult character development - I had to ask myself if we gamers are any different with ME3.
Leroux: Well, I don't believe in "we gamers" as a group anymore than I believe in "we readers" or "we people of the world" ... As I said
I didn't take part in any of the ME3 controversy, and neither did you.
I haven't really followed the case of Harper Lee, but what I've read was mostly a controversy about the circumstances of the release in 2015, at her old age, not about censorship. You seem to have more insight into it, in case it's based on reliable sources,
The most prominent criticism of the ending, btw, was about the absence of real choices in a game that had seemed to make choices its main focus before, IIRC, so rather about feeling mislead by the gameplay than about the fate of the characters.
Well, you are more cynical than I - and that is fine.
But as much as I am a PC RPG gamer through-and-through, I genuinely think a FPS, or a console gamer is my potential bro or sis, as much as the casual gamer.
i genuinely like to think that gamers could be cool and supportive x-platform. Lest Bethesda and BioWare become console only.
As to Harper Lee - a journalist asked to know if she was fine about Watchman, but she told him to fouk off - or to "go away."
I do in fact anticipate that I might feel poorly about the ending, but as long as the single player war assets (post extended edition) allow any which one, probably I needs must stick with it.
BioWare was surely not honest about their advertisement - about sophisticated endings - but also perfumes and aftershaves are allowed to advertise quite openly with ridiculous promises.
