As I read a few more posts from Bioware about them listening to concerns and their plans to release campaign DLC I get more and more fearful that they will actually create a new ending for ME3. Not only would this be a terrible idea for the Mass Effect games, but this would set a terrible precident for game fiction in general. I think it's completely justified for people not to enjoy the ending of Mass Effect 3. Every piece of fiction has people who don't enjoy it; unfortunetly for Bioware, Mass Effect has a very loud minority of people who don't enjoy the ending and hatefully want it changed (and yes, those of you who are hatefully complaining about the ending are in the minority of the millions who will complete ME3).
Mass Effect is Bioware's fiction. It is their characters and their world. People complain that the Shepard they "created" is their Shepard, but it isn't! Every single choice you made in Mass Effect was a planned story piece that Bioware created. It is clear that with the relays being destroyed and Shepard's crew crash landing on the unknown planet for each ending that Bioware has a direction for where they want that story to continue, if it does in fact continue at all. I'm ok with them releasing DLC, books, comics, movies, etc about what may have happen to other races or crew members after the end of ME3, but it would be a horrific idea if they were to change the endings or create a new one.
We don't want to set a precedent in gaming fiction that if gamers complain enough that the writer's behind gaming fiction have to change their fiction. As audiences to this fiction we have to accept what is given to us whether terrible or great. If you want answers to questions unanswered that is ok. As long as you aren't asking Bioware to screw up the canon of their work. And it's ok for Bioware to leave Mass Effect 3 with unaswered questions. They have more planned for the Mass Effect universe whether DLC, comic, book, or movie. Have patience.
I don't think Bioware will crumble and change the ending, but this is my plee for them not to.
Bioware, please do not give in and change the ending!

There's already precedent for this, so your claims are baseless.

The precedent was already set. It was set by plays, movies, and books before games were a thing. Test audiences and editors have changed endings since long before you were born.
Plays used to change portions of scripts between showings in response to audience reaction.

Bioware already screwed up their canon dozens of times. And there's already a precedent. Not to mention giving more information is not "changing" per se.

We are neither test audiences or editors. So there is no precedent

If you having problems with the ending, I got news for you son, this http://www.computera...ioware-blow-it/ shows that the majority of people hate the ending. There are also BSN polls that show people who hate the ending are the HUGE HUGE majority.

The majority of people are very stupid. The majority liking or hating something isn't the end all judge of good or bad.

How can you say that the people that dont like the ending are the minority? Of those millions that play Mass Effect 3, there could be enough people that dont like the ending either.
Also, fun fact, bioware screwed up their own canon by doing this ending, we are trying to get it fixed.

Where have you been? In no way is the anti-ending side the minority. Also you are aware their is much no way they can expand the universe past ME3 unless they plan on doing more space magic. Also the endings are far too different, unknown planet or not. Nice work supporting an end with more plot holes by itself than all 3 Mass Effect games (Mass Effect 3 prior to those last 5 minutes) combined.

Plays used to change between showings, simply because of audience reaction to the last show.

If they do then you're certainly welcome to not d/l it. If you don't want it then your game is already complete. As for the rest of us....

Criticism is a part of anything. We are just saying whats wrong with the ending, why we don't like it. I know people that like the endings are getting tired of all the threads on how the ending sucks...but I don't think they are going away anytime soon. I'm glad you liked the endings though! But this has happened before...with Fallout 3. The fans didn't like the ending (you couldn't play after the story) so they released Broken Steel. And sure it is ok to leave unanswered questions, but we were promised that there would be no questions and that everything would be wrapped up.

Either you enjoyed the ending, and so we deserve good things by your reasoning.
Or you disliked the ending, then you should be equally upset.
