 Sometimes im hopeful and think they are giving everyone a chance to beat the game, have it sink in AND THEN reveal their master plan for the real ending.

Other times i dont think they are that clever and just want to stay hidden so this dies down.

Either way, Im so sad. 

[Kris_Rebel]

Never.

[eternalYouth304]

i imagine there will be some type of statement not too long after the asian release. who knows what that statement will reveal, though.

[NubXL]

There probably won't be a formal response. They're too corporate. Admitting the ending has been largely rejected as trash isn't in the cards.

[Sparbiter]

Probably not until they finalize DLC plans, if ever.

[thoaloa]

Sometime in the future.

[Kenthen]

Not yet.

[worior]

I'm South Korean and many of us think the endings are ridiculous, too.

If theres one thing I learned from all those talk talk engineering managment courses is that "being corporate" is just a very bad idea. People can be very forgiving even if they don't say so it just takes communication, action.

They might just be taking their time as the internet is quite sensitive and any precieved wrong message can get out of hand so quickly it can end built up goodwill forever.

I dont think we will ever get a proper answer. I expect a post by Bioware (or writing team etc.) come up on these boards in few weeks in response to the fans, where they try to explain the ending in some way and I fully expect them to defend their "artistic vicion".

After that the hope for any DLC endings is crushed, Then Bioware will just let then fan outrage die down slowly and after few months after BOOM mission accomplished.

As much as they should do right by this. All I can say is, they don't owe us anything more than what we paid for...which was a functional game.

Thats what we got. They don't owe us anything more than that. So an explanation? I doubt we'll be given one, as we're not entitled to one. They'll run through their DLC schedule plan as its scheduled on their dev boards, sell it to whoever will buy it, and move on to the next project.

And that'll pretty much be it.

They are in a no win situation. They can stay put with their endings and defend them, or they can move on an cash in on an alternate ending DLC. Both options are going to produce quite a bit of anger. I wouldn't be shocked if they made an alternate ending dlc. They reduced something as important as the Prothean to DLC for a money grab.

[Thrazesul]

I do expect them to say something at least, whether it's bad or good things. A game company can't just ignore that their forums exploded in rage. Well they *can* but it's not gonna end well for them. ****** off your fanbase enough and it will effect the sales somehow. Like strive said, ignoring the fans will cause anger, making us pay for a better dlc ending will cause anger.

Only thing that might work is a free dlc ending, but that one I don't see happening, unless they made one back in production and are just toying with us like Mordin's virus.

i'm curious to see what other communities think about the endings.  while the poll on this site in favor of an alternative ending is staggeringly one-sided, we need a bigger scope to really get the pulse of the fanbase in toto.  if it is just as lop-sided as this site, logic would suggest that not responding at all would be unwise considering their plans for dlc in the near future.  how could they not respond the very people you are making content don't want the content because they've deemed the experience 'tainted'?

While the outrage here has been most vocal and we may or may not be the only ones demanding a retcon of the ending the general consensus across all boards is that the endings are terrible.

[Conquerthecity]

In the aftermath of DA2, didn't they just say something about artistic vision and whatnot? 'Cause that's what I'm expecting here.

that's my impression as well.  a unilateral action is a great idea, and i've witnessed a few of them sprining up here and there, fb pages, twitter accounts, etc.  this is a good first step.

having a look around different sites, apart from the odd person saying they liked it and a few people trying to justify the endings. most people are pissed to say the least. i really dont know what sort of damage control bioware can do for this situation.

i for one have gotten all the previous DLC for ME1 and 2. i pre-ordered the collectors edition of ME3 and i loved it apart from the ending. the ending has left me feeling that there is no point to buying future DLC for mass effect 3 as no matter what i do the ending will make it all meaningless

[Orion91]

Based on how they handled the Dragon age 2 ending I would expect a statement about how its OUR fault.

[GreenSoda]

Well...if the speculation in the "hallucination" thread (which actually sound *really* plausible) are correct, than probably at least another week. Giving the rest of the world enough time to play through the game at least once.

[Adamantium93]

I'd say sometime next week. Maybe another post in the next day or two saying they're listening and thinking about it. In about a week they'll announce plans for the first dlc and maybe add in something.

I think if handled properly, this doesn't have to be bad. Think about it: if they gave the endings free but upped the price of the other dlc's, it wouldn't look like they were charging us for endings. It would look like a company is listening to its fans, which is a rare thing these days.

[wookieboy15]

I'm in agreement with the "hallucination" thread. I admit that there is probably a big chunk of hope mixed into the actual reasons behind it but nevertheless if you've read over all the facts you can't help but wonder if this is a HUGE ploy by BioWare.
I have always loved their games and their well written stories, and although I was absolutely crushed like so many other long time ME fans, after these endings, I have enough faith left in me to believe that this could be a never before tried method.

I mean if they managed to pull this off with some free PLAUSIBLE dlc after everyone's outrage at the endings i would literally throw my credit card at their faces. The sheer balls required to even think of trying something like that would impress me somewhat. =)

Here's to hoping!

[HKR148]

Want me to tell you guys something? If this is the sort of 'artistic vision' a stroy-writer believes in and say that they are writing a book, do you even want to buy that kind of book? If this was clearly how the writers have intended, I'm trying to be respectful but they had no business of working in Mass Effects series then. There are certain rules authors must upheld when they create literatures, certain forgiveness can be applied but the Mass Effect has broken way too many rules.

Once they think the 85% of game owners have beaten the game.

A note like:
"We are proud of our team, we put our heart in this game. The game is a success blablabla the endings are great blablabla
