I know we are trying to do something directly constructive, and if we can help it, get a kickstarter going to pay for it. However if NC doesn't wanna play ball id like to make this suggestion, particularly to Tonyv
When Mass Effect 3 came otu the community was outraged and many groups got together and made kickstarters to act a donations to different charities, with the express purpose of showing how much money they were willing to give for a better ending
Now i do like this idea, but again not until we know whether or not NC will play ball with the IP, don't want peoples money disappearing before we really truly need it.
