The Retake Mass Effect organization and the Child’s Play charity have announced that gamers who are disappointed by the ending of Mass Effect 3 should stop their donation drive after the amount collected goes past the 80,000 dollars mark (60,615 Euro).

Robb, who is one of the main organizers of the Retake Mass Effect movement, has posted on the official BioWare Social Network and said, “As evidenced by the statement from Dr. Myzuka yesterday, we have made our voices heard. Those of you here have taken special care to be heard in a polite, positive manner, and I believe that this is a major contributor to that success.

“We have shown our sincerity and passion. We have brought positive attention to the Retake Mass Effect movement.”

He added, “I have been in contact with a manager at Child’s Play. First, he wanted to stress how grateful they were for our efforts here, and the huge impact it will have in helping the charity.

“However, he pointed out that several sources are incorrectly assuming a link between the charity and the petition, or outright support of the petition by the charity.”

The organizers of Retake Mass Effect have made it clear that no outside pressure determined them to end the donation drive and that they plan more actions to keep pressure up on BioWare.

A number of fans have voiced their disappointment with the ending of the Mass Effect franchise and have asked the development team to change elements of its via downloadable content.

BioWare initially said that it was listening to all feedback and that it would talk more about the end of the game after more of the fan base has managed to get through the Mass Effect 3 experience and create their own opinion.

Recently, Ray Muzyka, who is one of the co-founders of BioWare, stated that the developer would deliver more DLC in the coming months, but did not assure the player base that they would change the actual ending of Mass Effect 3.
