I don't really know what people were expecting. For BioWare to repeatedly give updates on the progress of that bug fix? Seems a bit excessive to me. They are aware of the problem, they are going to correct it; people have the right to be pissed, but I don't see how frequent apologies from BioWare staff is going to solve anything.
On the other hand, here's a nice gesture (to combat some of the vitriolic statements made against these people) and they are openly thankful of it.
Is that so surprising?
so what's the odds the cupcakes actually contain some sort of poison?

lol so all the green and blue ones do. Only the red ones are safe. What a twist.
Actually, none of the cupcakes ever existed.so what's the odds the cupcakes actually contain some sort of poison?
You get diabetes if you eat the cupcake, unless your Estimated Daily Calorie count is at 5000 or higher.
Yes.
Do you realize how much it would mean to people if someone on a developer account popped into the thread and simply mentioned how it was going or how they were working on it? Answer: a lot.

well, this is why you have an intern taste test when something comes from an unknown fan the first time.
What a waste of money
Specialty cupcake, grocery cupcake, they are all sugary shitty stuff that will give me type 2 diabetes. They are all just sugars. I don't taste the difference.

Hi Everyone
Today, we received the 400 cupcakes you collectively sent us through your donations to express your feelings about the endings of Mass Effect 3. We want you to know; we are indeed listening to all fan response and acknowledge your feedback. We appreciate creative and thoughtful attempts like this one.
The gesture certainly gained our attention both with its creativity and deliciousness. However, while we do appreciate that fans were creative in how they expressed their views, after a lot of discussion, we decided ultimately the reason that they were sent was not done in the context of celebrating the work or accomplishment of the Mass Effect 3 team. This is a subtle, but important aspect in determining how to pass the feedback to the team.
BioWare regularly works with many deserving charities, as such it was decided that rather than passing out the cupcakes to staff or wasting good food, to donate them on behalf of our fans to a local Edmonton youth shelter. We know that for the kids that have to use this facility, something as simple as a cupcake is a rare treat and would definitely brighten up their day. Thank you to the fine folks at the local youth shelter for accepting the donation and to the fans who donated the cupcakes.
Please keep providing your feedback on Mass Effect 3, we’re still listening.
So is this still out of Bioware's pockets?

No shitwe decided ultimately the reason that they were sent was not done in the context of celebrating the work or accomplishment of the Mass Effect 3 team
Or warn people in advance they fucked up the face import.
I don't see how that goes "unnoticed"
Haha, so true.
At least the local youth shelter took the cupcakes instead of rejecting the donation because they didn't want to be used as a platform for ulterior motives.

You have to admire Priestly's ability to make himself look like a huge asshole when talking about donating sweets to needy children
So we gave Bioware employees 3 choices in cupcake types, and they ended up picking a 4th option.
Wish we had that much choice in the actual game :/
