'Save Mass Effect' petition hits over 180,000 signatures within days of BioWare's closure
The desperate plea to EA has fans sharing their memories of the spacefaring shooter.
Last week, BioWare faced closure after being acquired by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and investment firms Silver Lake and Affinity Partners. The studio, known for its popular RPG series, Mass Effect, was subsequently shut down, and the beloved franchise's fifth installment was canceled. In response, fans have taken to social media and a Change.org petition to save the series.
As of now, the #SaveMassEffect petition has garnered over 180,000 verified signatures, with supporters urging EA to commit to the continued development of Mass Effect or license the intellectual property to another studio. Fans have expressed their devotion to the series, recalling fond memories and sharing their tears over the closure of BioWare.
While it seems unlikely that EA will reverse its decision, the petition has rallied support for the series, and the future of Mass Effect remains a topic of hope and discussion among fans.
