Seriously? Were they drunk? To have everything we've worked for over the last half decade, be ripped from us and made worthless?
Is there anyone, any single fan who actually liked the ending? Every person who's ever played a Paragon wanted one thing above all for Shepard: A happy goddamn ending. Hell, Lair of the Shadow Broker virtually set all Liara romancers up for a happy life with Liara.
God, if they don't make a proper ending for DLC, I'm never playing a Bioware game again.
How could the writers at Bioware possibly think this is ok? (Spoilers)

I'm a author and I know anyone can claim to be as such.
I can tell you if I stopped and moved on to a new project after my second book.
A new writer took it over, to finish up the series, it would have a new flavor.
They would have new ideas, new aspects for what was going to happen.
Sometimes it works out good, or as good.
Most times?
lt leaves the fan base wanting and hating the direction it went.
I think that is what happened here and it was for the worse.
It also happened with a Mass Effect novel, not too long ago.
They just picked the wrong writers as a whole for 3, at least in my opinion.
Not a fan of the endings as you may have guessed.
If they don't change the endings,my hoodie, action figures and novels will be heading to ebay.
Then I will do my best to forget bioware and hope others do the same.
Even if future projects are good, you wouldn't be able to trust how the series would end.
I will put myself in their shoes, if fans came to me and said my final book in the series sucked.
However only the last two chapters.
I would never produce anything I wasn't passionate about and I didn't love.
Not to mention wouldn't produce something I didn't think tied into the universe as well as possible.
So I wouldn't change it, assuming I was completely happy with it at the time.
Unless it was just complete error in the lore itself.
So unless there was a massive outcry, I'd stand behind my project with confidence.
Then repeat over and over again that you can't please everyone.
However, I'd never come up with a crap ending like the game either.
I'd never allow that to get by quality control, let alone dream it up.
However sadly I except bioware to do exactly the same thing.

Thats shows what good writer ya are. Agatha Christie outright hated Poirot but she continued to write books about him only because fans asked her. Conan Doyle killed Holmes but he "revived" him because fans demanded it.
There are tons of examples. Bioware is no different.

I feel the same way. I hope with time I'll feel differently and that I'll be able to enjoy the games again (at least prior to the end) but I have to admit I had to stop myself from immediately selling all the games after that ending.

Ick. Fan demand for Holmes to be revived was not what was best for the story. Fan demand rarely is. One of the only examples I can think of is fans demanding that the Star Wars prequels not completely suck. Bioware's vision for Mass Effect was anything but sucky. Some may dislike the direction, but it was well done for what it was.
