The BioWare community has always been pretty tight-knit, as evidenced by countless successful community-driven events over the years, both within the developer's creations and at social occasions like conventions or expos. This latest effort from fans is particularly heart warming, though, as a group of Dragon Age: Inquisition players banded together in order to bring the joys of new-gen consoles to those less fortunate.
As you may or may not know, Inquisition's latest slice of downloadable content, The Descent, isn't available on last-gen machines, and this will be the case for all of the role-playing game's upcoming content, too. With this in mind, the aforementioned group of players opened up a GoFundMe campaign, with donations going towards buying consoles and copies of BioWare's latest release for two community members who, for personal reasons, couldn't afford to make the jump to PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
The campaign's original goal was to raise $850 to cover all costs, but in order to help a third member of the community, the overall funding amount was increased, and after six days, even the new goal was smashed as the campaign raised a total of $1,611.
A nice positive story, then, and a prime example of how gaming can bring people together.

@LieutenantFatman nope, my dwarf lady slaughtered them all and I didn't even get a trophy, frickin glitchy so and so
Uhhuuu...
I remember when the BSN members wrote about what they thought tali's sweat would taste like.
@sonicmeerkat Man, they've come a long way.
We did this on NintendoLife Amiibo Alert Line Chat. One of our Nintendo Life members couldn't afford a Wii U, so about 12 of us pitched in secretly and raised $400 in less than 8 hours. Bought him the Splatoon Wii U bundle, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Super Smash Bros and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.
I posted pics of the Splatoon Wii U bundle and games in the Line chat and was like "Hey TeeJay take a look at these..." He responds "Oh nice, are those yours?" I said "No, those are YOURS".
No response for 15 minutes, meanwhile everyone is posting confetti and congratulations stickers ... Finally he speaks and mutters a few words- "Guys, I can't even, I can't even" lol.
Now we call him "I can't even TeeJay"
This is nice. For me though they lost me after DAO. It was so good. Then 2 was meh. Then DAI was so boring I literally fel asleep trying to play it twice and gave up.
