I think they know we're not the vocal minority, otherwise they wouldn't be making the EC dlc. Just because news outlets and gaming sites are branding us as such doesn't mean that that is who BioWare is listening to.


Yeah I'm not saying we are a vocal minority but it seems to me they would cling to that as proof whether they truly believe it or not.

I don't know, I think they're in a tough spot trying to make everyone happy. I know what we would like to see but the fact is that there are people who did like the ending for whatever reason. It's a difficult balancing act they have to perform. But who knows what they really think about it all, they're being as closed mouthed on this as everything else!

Yeah but it's easy to keep the people who liked the ending happy, all they have to do is NOT download any DLC regarding the ending. Simple.

But you're right they are so closed mouth all we are left with are ifs, buts and maybes.

But the majority of the Fanbase didn't like the endings and if you want to sell further ME products.. the fan base is the majoity who will buy the ME stuff I suggest.. and pissing of the fan base cause of some "Likers" is never a very good idea.

It really mtters  not what they belive...the web onslought agsinst them and the campaign we did ...worked wonders...And the key was CHARITY !!! that was a masterstroke...This have open the doors to all mainstream media....
Now everyone knows that there is aproblem with the game...and people heard about ME3 who never even play videogames...It should have never been like this with /regards to ME series ...As its too good but ITs biowares fault the the game will be remembered now for the wrong reasons....
shame really....They could have acted sooner but chose not to...

Very true but they could just as easily turn around as say that any new ending has invalidated theirs. Ah wel, we'll see what happens.

I hope that at some point in the future we can have a more honest dialogue with them as to why this ending was chosen as why they chose to react in this way.

Hmmmmm ... I can understand wanting to stand by what you've created, and wanting to defend it against criticism. However ... Despite the ribbing, I do (sort of) follow the artistic integrity argument -- but that's altogether different from artistic merit, and while I guess it's not usually the norm for a developer to have to defend the merit of a part of a game story, it really hasn't worked to their advantage to remain tight-lipped about why they felt that ending should have worked.

lol that's so funny since I don't drink at all. The alcohol burns off. It just adds a bit of flavoring to the tomato cream sauce.

There is a concept call groupthink. (A group can sometimes become less effective than an individual)

Yep I don't get it either.... Regardless of whether they thought the fans would love it, I just don't see how they could think that that would be a fitting conclusion to Shepard's story or to the stories of the friends and crewmates...

CH: Brilliant ending. Now lets cut 90 % of the ending and sell it later to make even more money.

I am really starting to think it was probably to many variables at the end for them to make a ending so they just took the easy way out the galaxy is F****D good job. Would you like to buy some DLC. SLAP TO THE FACE

What makes it worse is they have never done easy. It's either all in or... Hell, it's always been all in for Bioware. I can't remember them ever taking the easy way out. It's like they lost their way, or their minds from a night of drunken bliss.

Or maybe it was all part of the plan....

They had plenty of time to take all those variations into an account...
The built whole bloody series on variations !!! so In the end whoever wanted to cut corners or decided the fans will love these endings was seriously misguided ...
