The grand total of what I can do about the endings...

SWTOR subscription canceled because: 

While I mostly enjoyed SW:TOR, I feel this is the only way to communicate my disappointment at the available endings of Mass Effect 3 to Bioware.
I might have been willing to accept what the moral appeared to be: choice is an illusion, if it hadn't been so completely at odds with both the medium and the storyline up to that point. 
More than that, I despised being unable to call out the Catalyst on the giant pile of bull**** he called argument. Synthetics inevitably destroy organics? Screw you dude, I got the Geth, the Quarians, EDI and Joker backing my ass up. And why exactly is there no option to point out that the genocidal little runt could in fact stop the Reapers without destroying everything. He comes out and says he can. I can talk Saren into blowing his indoctrinated brains out, but I can't even point out that the Catalyst, in attempting, allegedly to preserve human life is, in fact, destroying it?
Also, if it's so inevitable, how are there any Reapers at all? In most cycles, if it truly was inevitable, there'd only be synthetic life, which wouldn't create new Reapers. Even if they succeeded in destroying the galaxy spanning equivalent of the Geth, they'd be taking casualties with no way to replace them. If it truly was inevitable for synthetics to destroy organics, then surely it would happen in most cycles, after all they're (in the one case we have an example of) about 50,000 years. 

PS (not included in my cancellation notification): I know that the poor fellow who reads their cancelation reasons has nothing to do with this decision. If you happen to stumble upon this, sorry about unloading on you. I meant to include that in the original message, but forgot.

How is Destroy not disagreeing with the Catalyst? You're going against everything he says is inevitable.

At this moment in time. In his opinion further conflict is inevitable.

Because he is an AI. You have no ability to enforce it on him, you're limited by what Crucible or Catalyst lets you to do. He either doesn't want to do that, or his programming won't let him.

He preserves only the idea of life, not the life as we know and value. Instead of pointing it out, you can just reject his logic and pick destroy or control.

Because every time he (believes that that he) stops the cycle -before- this moment comes. Maybe he tested it in previous cycles, maybe he didn't. We don't know.

Why would you resurrect a 5-month-old fossil like this thread just to say "lol?"
