In addition, BioWare's community coordinator Chris Priestly has said that after contacting Weekes about the matter, he's decided it's nothing more than an imitation.
The original post has since been deleted, and several other posts on the Penny Arcade forums quoting the post have been edited to remove the text, ostensibly because the author asked that he not be quoted. Now, the reason I've been throwing around the word allegedly like it's nothing is because the entire story has become very muddled by recent events. In it, the author claims that the game's finale was written by Casey Hudson and lead writer Mac Walters without any input from the rest of the team, and many protests from the other writers were ultimately ignored. Earlier, that account allegedly posted a fairly damning diatribe about Mass Effect 3's controversial ending. The posts are dated March 11.īioWare writer Patrick Weekes is well known on the Penny Arcade forums as user Takyris. Update: We've received an anonymous tip with a screencap of Takyris' messages on the Penny Arcade forums requesting that those discussing the game's ending not attribute the pertinent facts to him.
