And might I add highly addictive, interest-wise. I might have to redeclare my major O.o

What's the general opinion of the feedback thread?
I've seen a couple ideas about it posted in here, but the one I thought made the most sense was that there's a suspicion of it. Maybe that it's there to get people arguing among themselves about what exactly should have been in a quality ending instead of Holding the Line against the PR machine.
EDIT: With the end result being PR able to say to the rest of the world: "See!? Even they don't know what they want!"

Thank you OP, and thanks to the guy who wrote this.
It really gives a new perspective on PR & marketing to people who are not familiar with it.
Personally, i'm going to be much more carefull with my future purchases, no more pre-ordering for me.
And as for future DLC, needless to say that as it is, I won't be buying them.

I think from now on, I'll just play ME3 until Shepard sits next to Anderson after opening the Citadel, then hit the power button on my Xbox.

I can also say that if this is how BioWare and EA are going to conduct their business, I'll take my money elsewhere.
Hold the line!

Agreed, as I said in the original ending megathread - Bioware used to be the one company I would take the leap and preorder their games. Never again - and definitely no dlc.

I think even that's backfiring. The same ideas keep popping up.
1. Everyone HATES Stachild and wants the sequence with that pissant scrapped.
2. There's no logic in the technological singularity motivation
3. War assets and EMS need to give us a final choice in the matter.

Ah, then that is more problematic. It still doesn't look good, however, and so it is still likely troublesome for Bioware.
Dude, the confidence interval (margin of error) of a 60,000 sample out of a population of 2,000,000 is .39%. Even accounting for sampling errors, response and coverage biases the MoE is still way below 3%.

The option to have a "happy" ending also comes up often. I don't know why people should be so hesitant to forward this. It's simply an option. We don't want to override the so-called dark endings. If I work at it, I think that like ME2, I should be able to have a "happy" ending, where my squad is alive and I am with them (at least). I mean, really. How many people chose the "unhappy" ending in ME2, where you kill off most of your squad or die yourself?
The only thing that has really annoyed me about this issue is the "I've got mine" tone and attitude of people who like the endings. They're happy with the endings, why change it? They can't seem to understand others aren't.
I sense that, as is usual on the internet, it's because they feel their tastes and opinions are somehow being attacked. We don't like something they don't, therefore we are belittling or insulting their taste or intelligence.

They're looking at which ones pop up the most. That's the purpose of that thread. BioWare isn't taking specific ideas, really, they're asking fans what they think needs to be changed the most.

I cannot even begin to understand HOW that seemed like anything other than a terrible idea.

Its not the only poll out there, and this also undervalues the importance of a strong core of fans that recommend your games to their friends. Plus I feel this is what their PR wants, for it to look like its a minority, when it isn't.
