As promised, 400 cupcakes commissioned as a protest against the conclusion of the Mass Effect trilogy arrived at developer BioWare's offices today.
They were not, however, gobbled up by BioWare employees.
Writing on the company's forums, Chris Priestley says that while "we appreciate creative and thoughtful" acts of feedback, "we decided ultimately the reason that they were sent was not done in the context of celebrating the work or ccomplishment of the Mass Effect 3 team."
As a result, instead of eating them all up, BioWare donated all 400 cupcakes to a local youth shelter. Where, presumably, after picking their colours and finishing their last bite, the kids were left wondering whether their choice had really been that important, and if somebody could please come in an explain what the hell just happened.
