You go out of your way to present yourself as more intellectually superior and honest than I am, yet you will not respond to individuals who are posting thoughtful counterpoints to your argument.

Okay, so the OP responded with everybody that pat him in the back, but to none of the people questioning his arguments. I guess that tells me all I need to know.
When I take part in a discussion I try to be civil and eloquent. I apologize, but at the moment I have Retake members bashing me and then flooding my inbox with spam and threats. I will try to answer your questions tonight when I'm home from work.
Bear with me, Thank you.
I did post the above.... So quick to attack someone over nothing... Anyways....
I will try to respond best I can, if I missed your argument please repost it and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

This whole ordeal between pro-enders and anti-enders is starting to look like a religious war. It reminds me of Creationism vs Evolution Theory.
I do feel like I'm being stoned....

Now I have a question about the Original Post, if you would like to answer it.
Why is Mass Effect 3 "art"?
Do you feel film, literature, modern advertising is art? It's creative expression. If you feel that something commercially motivated disqualifies it as being art, congrats, you've just mentioned everything from Star Wars to Casablanca.

**** EA basically. I bet EA rushed the game in their quest for bull****.
I find this to be a interesting coping mechanism for the Retake Movement;
One of the reasons why I was attacked so harshly with threats and rage was because Retake feels there must be a slavish-obedience when it comes to their opinion in the community. If your voice differs, you are attacked.
Bullies kept them in line. It's the equivalent to the political whip.

Problem is you stand for nothing except a counter to retake.
Our movement does not have such insular goal...
Pro-Enders Mission:
We defend creative risk and artistic integrity in all mediums of art.
We feel it's not the public's right to demand that the fiction of the Mass Effect Universe be altered just because they disagree with narratives conclusion. If changes are made to the fiction; we feel the repercussions will send devastating ripples throughout the entire industry.
We support artistic integrity by respecting the Mass Effect narrative in its original entirety.

Pretty sure the problem is not that we want more than what Bioware planned to give but that they didn't deliver what THEY said they would.
They did deliver; just not in the ways your perspective seems to accept the interpretation.
Still writing; bear with me, thank you.
