Hello, r/MassEffect!
We're posting to help clear up some confusion and hopefully streamline things.
We know there's been a lot of negativity and anger on the subreddit recently, and we're doing our best to make sure people are able to express their opinions without feeling censored. Right now, the subreddit is seeing unprecedented amounts of traffic — roughly 1500 times the normal amount. Some of these people are just grieving, like us, but some of them are here to stir up fights and cause division.
Clarifying Rule 1
Any kind of bigotry is always an instant ban, but we're being a little harsher than normal with that for the moment. Things that breach this rule are sexual harassment, misogyny, racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, flaming, brigading, witch hunts, slurs, usage of culture war dogwhistles, and attempting to incite illegal activities like piracy or vandalism.
If you see something that breaks this rule, please report it. We can't see everything.
Additionally, be mindful of how you're using your language. We've seen many, many posts where people use "Saudi" in the same way they might use a slur. You can certainly be critical of the entity that bought EA — we just don't want it to become bigotry.
Culture War?
We've had a lot of visitors over the past week who are here solely to pin BioWare's downfall on queer people and/or the company's attempts to represent a diverse population. We've been brigaded several times already. For this reason, we are heavily scrutinizing discussions involving "wokeness", "pronouns", and other topics these groups focus on.
Misinformation
Unfortunately, there's a lot of noise out there right now, not all of it true. For this reason, any posts that claim to contain "new" information about MEU will be removed until the moderation team has verification of its truth from a trusted source. Once info has been verified, we'll put the post back up.
Blatant misinformation will be removed.
Repetitive/Spam Posts
Please, please, don't repost the petition as just a link. If you're posting fanart, music, etc, and want to include the link, that's fine.
Anything that contributes unique and interesting thoughts to the discussion is welcome. If you see a spammy post, please report it.
If the subreddit at large would prefer megathreads for posts about grieving the game, etc, please let us know!
Thank you all for your patience — we know the sub has been hectic, and we're trying our best.
Keelah si'yah, friends!
(also: no LLM was used to generate this text. I just like emdashes.)
EDITED TO ADD:
Everyone is welcome to their own opinion about #SaveMassEffect, but if your only contribution when discussing it is extremely negative or potentially hurtful, please reconsider — we're all grieving in our own ways.

We all know that with the latest news about Bioware, we got an even more BS defeat than the end of Priority: Thessia. Shepard didn't fall into desperation, they still did their best to turn the tide. How about following Shepard's example?
I know this may sound like a desperate attempt on our side as fans, but making people hear our voice may yet change things!
What could you do to help?
What is expecting us if we succeed?
It's worth trying. Let's do it folks. Don't forget to grab the new #SaveMassEffect flair from the sidebar, so even members who didn't see this post could be aware about this movement!
I will keep updating this post as we figure out new ways to keep Mass Effect alive.

Now it's all hearsay, but with all these articles suddenly coming out, some of them feel deliberately like ragebait because they know emotions are especially volatile right now, so be cautious of everything you read online (as one always should).

So I've been thinking about it since I saw the trailer and I'm kind of confused as to why the Quarians are still wearing suits in the new (cancelled) game trailer?
Weren't they talking about starting the process at the end of Mass Effect 3 to allow themselves to no longer need their suits?
Just confused why they're still wearing suits if it's been 600 years since Mass Effect 3 and way back then they were talking about ways to get rid of the suits all together
Does anyone else have any insight on this?

This is literally such a cool and engaging way to showcase the #SaveMassEffect #SaveBioware campaign. Props to the creators!
You can see the Timeline in the style of the original ME story timeline https://savemasseffect.com/timeline.html
There's a Bioware Memorial Wall and everything! https://savemasseffect.com/memorial-wall.html
Love this community ❤️💙

I know it's stupid theroize about the leaked trailer (and sometimes it's even made by other team that dosen't work in the final game) but i still want to post one thing i notice in the trailer.
And the thing that surprise me is the huge amount of Quarians that are outside Rannoch wich we can see in the trailer.
I like to think that after the reaper war they colonized their planet again and after that they seeked to recover the previous quarian status in the galaxy.
And in the game we would have seen Quarians having Jobs and successfully living outside Rannoch not like outcasts or thiefs but like normal citizens.
What do you think?.

For those who weren’t aware, the billboard in Time’s Square is just the beginning. There is a plan now fully in motion to propel #SaveMassEffect on more billboards, and with one specifically targeting EA HQ. During a live stream on YouTube today, KalaElizabeth and Paragon7 raised almost $6,000 to fund the project in less than 10 minutes.
Bravo Zulu people!!!

Absolute perfection. Everything makes sense. There is no cheesiness, no cliches. Just a cold calculating perfectly logical machine standing before ants. The first time I had the pleasure of playing this game I felt indoctrinated after this bit. RIP BioWare

Maybe Mass Effect can be saved, maybe not. But what we can do is give its half-brothers a bit of a hand.
Because let's be honest, they seem pretty obscure and unknown. I'm not sure what their marketing strategy is, but its like they don't even try to reach out to gaming channels and such.

Hey everyone!
I'm Ariel, founder of We Are Mass Effect.
With N7 Day approaching, we wanted to share another amazing community initiative with all of you!
On November 7, we're encouraging as many Mass Effect fans as possible to jump back into Mass Effect Legendary Edition at the same time!
The idea is simple! Bring the community together, celebrate the franchise we love, and hopefully create a noticeable spike in the game's Steam player count to show just how passionate and active this community still is.
Here's when to join:
What if you play on console or the EA app? Well, you're absolutely welcome to participate too! Share screenshots, clips, or posts of yourself playing during the event using #SaveMassEffect.
A few important things:
A huge shoutout to Astralaeyna for creating this fantastic artwork and reaching out to us to help promote the initiative! ❤️

Ordered a custom wedding ring engraving before the Bioware shutting down news, very sad. Very happy with the ring though, don't get me wrong! It was custom made by an amazing artist!! And I have absolutely no regrets, as my husband and I are huge fans.
