Yup, marketing just love to use that word.
Shipped =/= sold.

What i hate is, at the end of all this, the'll be the one's with all the money pocketed.
Marketing are douches, but they still get the bucks... It is relatively irritating.

What if; the MP are making so much money and the MP-players are happy while all the SP-players are doing is posting hate and never even a hint of appreciation, which leads to bioware realizing that their fanbase has moved to the MP area and stops giving any f'cks to the story from now on.

To all of you still playing MP stop playing MP. It occurs to me that if EA or Bioware at this point see MP doing well or at least "good enough" then even if the whole ending extended cut thing isn't universally well received (to put it in the best case scenario here) then they'll just shift most of their efforts to MP packs and will nearly disregard the RPG and story telling DLC alltogether.

Surely it only matters if they're getting money from them. I enjoy multiplayer but I'm not spending anything on it at all and don't intend to, but don't see any harm in taking free MP content. Why anyone would spend real money on upgrade packs is beyond me though (even without ME3's other problems).

If that's what they think is happening then they need to open their eyes because there is plenty of appreciation for most of the game other than the end, it's just (understandably) buried under the ending mess. Ignoring that would be BW cutting off their nose to spite their face.

I appreciate the game. I liked yesterdays PAX panel, tehre were some nice moments.
Still, I consider the endings as a failure.
And I am not the only one appreciating the game.

Coffee is bad! You should get enough sleep/reparation each night to have a good day :P

Well said! The best result is that they learn from their mistakes and don't repeat them rather than never do anything new at all. It should have an affect on other developers too (although there's a risk that it'll encourage even more bland mainstream games at the expense of trying to create something with depth).

Because you are adding to the "use" statistics
I made this request back some time ago, the request sank into obscurity, I get it's not easy to boycott something people enjoy, but if people remain with MP then it gets statistics that favor it over SP, if it reaches a critical point SP will be abandoned entirely for MP., then they will start to charge for server time.

I said before no one can force anyone to boycott MP, nor should they try, but it's up to those people what kind of gaming future they want.

Here the normal edition switched from 70$ (edit: well that shows that im french) to about 40-50$. All in all, they would've to admit it's thanks to us that the prices got down, yet they have more sales...

Mr Bond that is exactly my worse fear that ME turns into a fps mmo or something along those lines.

one thing they have proved is that multi games/ multi choice can be done if they want to go into the mp clone game market they will soon fall at the wayside, in the future another company will take up the mantle. their will always be rpgs the market for them is massive. gamers ideas as they get older change, yes they like online play but they also like games with better stories and less plotholes,games with choice(from my point of view anyway). i used to mp constintly, but in the end it gets repetitive, story driven games are the ones with pace, in this gen of games  halo and gow are remembered for the story not their mp. infact only cod and battlefeild can claim complete mp shooter succes and even their fans are complaining, 

sorry got a bit carried away Image IPB

If it does, they will have definitely lost one customer, I'm not against MMO, it's just not my thing, SP games especially RPGs are really personal to me.

With this ending it'll be MMO in which the main goal is to hunt down RGB-coloured mammoths. For some reason Green Mammoths are considered to be elite mobs, even though they don't drop good equipment or are worth anything. They also fly across the skies making WRAVWRAVWRAV noice.

You don't really want to know, oh ok, I'll tell you in one short quote from the panel, to paraphrase "we were not aware this is what our fans wanted"
