I know I’ve gone in on the gaming community for their bitching and moaning, but it looks like maybe I need to eat a little crow. The two most recent situations of civil unrest came from Mass Effect 3 (which I’ve already covered) and from NBA 2K13. If you hadn’t heard 2K is including the Dream Team in this year’s game but at the time with one noticeable omission, Scottie Pippen. And for you uniformed, Pip was one of the most versatile defenders ever and one of the original Top 50 NBA players.
Once this was announced 2K and Pip were bombarded with backlash over the decision. With the ME3 end game unrest I thought it was a bit overblown, but BioWare listened to their devoted (and somewhat deranged) fans and released an “extended cut” June 26th to expand upon the events that unfolded throughout ME3. Like Bioware, 2K listened to their fans (as did Pip) and they were able to come to an agreement and get their Wonder Twins on and bring us “form of Dream Team!” So thanks social media for allowing gamers to have a voice, now whether you listen to it or not is up to you.
