We're well aware that EA and BioWare intend to release DLC for ME3 just like they did for ME and ME2.

And I was pretty happy with the Origin integration of DLC (for PC, and I'm not an Origin fan btw) so I was overall fairly upbeat about the potential of more Mass Effect after ME3.

We all know how the endings go (and those that don't will find out soon enough) and we all agree they're horrible endings.

Some are calling for retcons, I'm not.

I am simply saying, vote with your wallet. Buy no further DLC for this game.

BioWare made their choice with how to end this series, don't encourage their decision by being lemmings and immediately throwing 10 dollars at anything they produce that has the brand name on it.

They chose this end. We don't need new endings. We must simply show them that we unequivocally consider their ending to be "the end" and not support any further content that is introduced to the franchise.

Stop playing multiplayer. Remove Mass Effect from your "Likes" on Facebook, do whatever you like. But vote with your wallet, BioWare chose the end of Mass Effect. Let them know that it is definitely the end.

My respect to all BioWare developers and employees. Lets try to keep this thread civil.

EDIT FOR RECENT EVENTS:

Well Casey Hudson has responded to the contreversy about the end of ME3

This is now the only effective method of responsible, adult disagreement with their choices.

Its time to chose. Will you continue to buy ME related development? Or will you close your wallet now that its said and done?

I've closed my wallet. I will respect the fact that others may feel they can support future development, and I'm not, in any way, insulting anyone  that does.

UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO DR. RAY:

As an update, with Dr. Ray's stance given today, I can respect BioWare's stance that they feel that the artistic integrity of the story should stand on how its been written, and that their response to our concerns will be addressed in new content initiatives.

That is all fine and wonderful. But, given as you have expressed your right as an artist to defend your work, I am expressing my right as a customer to no longer patronize your work as I disagree with it entirely.

Until you admit that nothing you did in Mass Effect has any meaning beyond the Shep/TIM/Anderson scene on the Citadel just previous to the Catalyst ending, I am not interested in paying you 10 - 20 dollars a pop simply to try to make that ending more acceptable.

I retain the right to refuse to buy questionable products from a company that has abused my trust more than once.

Before I wrap this up, let me just say that I've given BioWare a lot of rope in regards to how far I'd let them go over the years. From DA2, to TOR being a complete WoW clone regardless of every bit of beta feedback that most beta testers gave indicating that being a WoW clone made the game less  fun, and now the Mass Effect franchise being effectively destroyed by a ten minute ending that is not artistic in any way, but is simply a dialog wheel turned on its side and made into a physical "level" for the player to literally interact their "choice" in...in of which all choices are horrible and none of them have anything to do with who your Shepard really was, or how much military strength you had in the final conflict.

You may defend the artistic integrity of your product, it is your right, I will defend my bank account, which is my right. And any DLC from you that is targetted to attempt to smooth out the wrinkles the end of this game left in your fan base is going to cost money...and I'm afraid to say, I'm not buying.

Your company has abused my trust too many times in the last half decade or so for me to consider your statements sincere, or that your solutions to the issues your customer base has with this ending won't come without an additional price tag. And I'm sorry I already paid you an immense amount of money for several copies of ME3, getting fished in quite nicely for all your pre-release pre-order benefits and what not..all of which are worthless now.

If you think you're getting another dollar from me simply so I can "understand" your "artistic vision", you must think I'm blind and stupid.

I highly suggest that other fans of this company and this franchise make an assessment of their own willingness to trust BioWare with yet more of their money, simply so you can "understand" their "artistic vision".

Appreciate the 5 star, whoever starred up the post.

[BobbyTheI]

Yup. I've said it elsewhere: you could start a thousand threads on this board saying how dissatisfied you are with this ending, and it won't mean a damn thing.

But if BioWare looks at the numbers for their next DLC release and see low sales, it shows them how much this has dissatisfied us.

Hell, I even bought all the DA2 DLC, although honestly I didn't hate that game as much as others did. And even with this horrible ending, I was still ready to buy all the DLC ME3 had to offer, because of how good the rest of the game is in relation to its terrible conclusion.

But a message needs to be sent, and I can forgo playing any more BioWare products until this problem is addressed. And if that ends up being "never," well... we had a good ride, BioWare. But you face a dark path, one that I cannot follow you on.

[The Angry One]

I shall state again. I will not buy. I play for the story.
The story these DLCs will provide is irrelevant. Anything you do, any success you achieve will be meaningless.
You're doing.. what? Helping people who will die.
Taking places that will be destroyed.
Gathering info that will be lost.

All because Shepard became a coward and gave up.

[SLPr0]

I actually liked DA2 but I didn't buy the DLC, I didn't feel DA2 was worth it.

I bought all the DLC for every ME game. I won't buy another piece of it after this.

I just removed Mass Effect from my "Likes" on Facebook and stopped following all Mass Effect related Twitter Feeds as well.

They chose this to be the end. Not me. So, its the end, thank you BioWare, for a great game. Look forward to whatever new one you come up with in the next few years.

[dslmc]

I pledge to boycott future products. Dump that tea in the sea. I advise others to vocalize said pledge.

[pomrink]

I'm onboard, unless we get free ending hotfix

[trifecta739]

I have stated this somewhere already. Unless the DLC is new endings, I will be purchasing nothing more from BioWare.

[Varus Torvyn]

Storyline is everything in a RPG...the ending renders any future DLCs ineffective (unless the ending changes from a patch).

[MattFini]

This won't be a problem for me.

[Citizen Q]

This was already my plan.

Glad to see I am not alone.

The odds of the endings ever changing is, sadly, low. However, one thing I have learned to be nearly a universal truth is that money talks.

[Biotic Sage]

I will be buying whatever DLC they are selling. In my book they have earned my dollar vote with the masterpiece that is ME3, every cent of it.  I hope there are enough others like myself to counteract this backlash to what I consider a masterpiece.  Yep, that's selfish of me.

I used to wear my N7 Hoodie everywhere, I literally want to burn it now.

[Mathias]

I don't know about boycotting, but i know i'm not buying the DLCs unless they are related to fixing the ending or giving you new ones. Why buy DLC for Mass Effect if it won't effect the ending?

[Ormeriel]

The only DLC I would buy is the "Proper Ending" one. I won't buy anything else, ever.

[KotorEffect3]

The endings were less than satsifying but made sense. The game itself however was probably the best in the series (though I think ME 2 still makes a strong case). So since I still loved the game I will probably be buying future DLC.

[vigna]

Why would I buy any DLC that does nothing to advance the story..the story is broken now as it is...?
I've purchased all DLC for the console games except a weapon pack and one of the the DA DLC.

Not this time......

I bought the expensive, limited edition Mass Effect art book.  I never buy art books.  But I love this universe that much that it was a purchase I didn't regret at the time.

Now?  I might page through it every so often, but it's just going to remind me of a universe that doesn't exist anymore, due to poor, lazy writing.

[John Locke N7]

whoa whoa whoa what? stop playing mutiplayer?

you leave multiplayer out of this...... singleplayer DLC i can understand not buying, but the mutiplayer as is, is perfectly fine. AMAZING, i might say

the only reason the singleplayer is broken is because of the ending. MP is all gameplay, and the gameplay friggin rocks

[MrJu1c3]

They're not getting any of my money. The only DLC I'd consider buying is one that gives a proper ending, but that's retarded because it should honestly be free.

..but it's not like they're going to do anything about the endings anyway. :/

[Nefelius]

I won't buy a "endings" DLC either. I am eager to get the REAL aending but if it will suddenly be released i'll just torrent em whenever someone will make it possible.

[Cartims]

I see no point in purchasing DLC for this game...it's over...they killed it....
Let's play SKYRIM...

[BrotherFluffy]

I'm with you on this one. No DLC for ME3 until the endings are fixed.

[SLPr0]

I consider the ending to be canon, I am not demanding that they change it by boycotting future DLC for the game.

I am simply saying the game is over. They chose that.

[RxP4IN]

Video game boycotts never work. But on an individual basis, I hope you stand up to your word. At this point, I'm content watching someone play DLCs on youtube. After all, the auto-dialogue pretty much makes all Sheps the same.
