BioWare's Dead Shepard Statue for Mass Effect Fans Causes Controversy

BioWare released a Mass Effect 2 statue depicting Shepard floating dead in space, which was immediately pulled due to fan reaction. The statue was described as a "conversation starter" and part of a series commemorating emotional moments in the series. BioWare announced it would be pausing sales on the statue until it can "share the larger plan." This is not the first time BioWare's merchandise department has caused controversy, with a previous poster promising Shepard's return.
