Thanks for signing everyone, but I think we need a little more discussion. Is there any part of this you guys would like to see changed or enhanced?

I thought it was concise and to the point. If you bloat it too much, like the support of bioware type rallying, then you'd be less likely to have people read it all.
And the whole point of this movement is that the message needs to be heard..not the emotion.
You've captured that well.
Hold the Line.

They did, they gave you an ending.
You don't like the ending, you feel betrayed.
Betrayed and reality are two different things.
The reality is, you got an ending, you have a conclusion. Even if the game ended with the beam hitting shepard, that's still an ending. I don't understand where this "no ending" stuff comes from.
It makes more sense to argue that the ending is un-needlesly complicated and needs to be changed, clarified, or expanded upon.
You need only to look at movies to see lots of "failed promises" the trailers make it look awesome, but it then turns out to suck. Do you ever see a producer go "oh its going to suck and not be like the book"
Of course not. They know the entire plot, and every detail. So yeah, they can say it concludes everything. And it does, just not in a way you personally like, but thats doesn't mean it doesn't have an ending.
They gave us an ending, yes. But it was not the kind of ending that we were promised we would be delivered. Beyond that, it doesn't provide a conclusion for, well, anything. Yes, we solved the Quarian/Geth problem (one way or another) but we don't get to see how that plays out. It was left dangling. We may have brokered peace between the Krogan and Turian, but it doesn't matter now without the mass relays and we don't get to see how, even if the mass relays still existed, their newfound peace would shape their civilizations. We don't get to see these choices come to fruition beyond "yay they're a little bit happier now and you get more points for the war."
So the end without really a conclusion is just disappointing. If you happen to read books, Cryptonomicon is a good example of, at least to me, the same sort of disappointing ending given what the rest of the book was promising and leading up to. It was also an ending that didn't really resolve anything and didn't answer the questions the book had raised.
That's another major problem with this ending. It didn't really answer some of the questions we had, and the few questions it did answer were absolutely nonsensical. Then the ending left us with even more questions. For the kind of conclusion they claimed they would give us and that we, as consumers and as fans wanted, it was incredibly disappointing.

Let's take this a step further and get organized -- let's get this trending on Twitter by 8:00 PM GMT tomorrow afternoon/evening. Post the following message on Twitter:
@masseffect ME3 was outstanding, but the ending is unacceptable. When will new content be made available to address this? #RetakeME3
We know they'll give us their standard reply, but if we can get this trending, it'll catch the attention of outside media and hopefully give us a louder voice. Hold the line.
