Successful?

The Retake Mass Effect 3 campaign has brought to a close its protest against the ending of Mass Effect 3, declaring it a resounding success.
Retake Mass Effect 3 had been appealing for funds to get the movement taken seriously by BioWare; money it will donate to gaming charity Child's Play.

  1. WWW: You've found some excellent information, particularly concerning the developers and links.
    EBI: What you haven't done is present the information so it is easy to read. I'd like clear text, images, videos and screengrabs from Facebook/Twitter. You also haven't said if you think the marketing campaign was successful.
    LR: Go back to your post and improve/add based on your EBI.
