Says it all really. Effectively they ran out of time to finish a proper ending and went with the easy speculative ending. As a professional writer, I know  this is a trick to cut corners and save time. When a number of devs question whether or not the ending can be completed in time you have to worrry as Bioware staff do know what they are doing and this was back in march 2011. The ending as it currrently stands wasn't implemented to very late in 2011, by all indications December. They had to cut a good deal from what they wanted to do, and as it has been stated during the DLC controversy the game was sent for certification in Jan 2012.

I have a great deal of sympathy for the staff who worked on ME3 and their hard work. Spinning the game by stating that you are not going to do something with the ending and then doing exactly that is an affront to anyone who buys it.  It would have been much better to end the game as it currently does with the additional "secret" scene and a to be continued...and used the end pop-up message to state the coming of a free DLC to wrap it all up Rather than use the development time after the game was sent to be certifed to make the from the Ashes DLC. A quick PR statement to this end, saying that BW/EA appreciates it customers and that they made the creative decision that ensuring the game had the best ending was in the interests of all.

Well they rushed out the ending because some idiots leaked the story before release.

No way can Bioware take all the blame for this.

...What? How could they have run out of time? We was told that ME3 was fully playable Christmas 2010. And then they delayed it 3 months from Christmas 2011...Why weren't the endings like the 5th thing they worked on. At first I was okay with the current endings. I'm not now.

[Deflagratio]

I've heard those rumors too. I do hope their true, because I sympathize with creators freedom, but I really want the ending changed, but I only want it done if they want it done.

I wouldn't believe what they say in press releases or otherwise. It's "better" pr for them to re-assure people nothing's being rushed, everything was complete.

Iirc they had a very short cycle to do the game in no? Two, three years? I forget. You can tell the game goes full-speed ahead in more ways than one post-Rannoch imho.

Not accurate enough, no where does it mention any word from any Bioware official but still it seems to be the logical conclusion

I still don't think that should of been a factor to change the ending. If people want to spoil themselves before a games release, then by all means, go for it, but there were a ton of people who did a media blackout on this game, so they would change an ending because a minority spoiled themselves? Doesn't make sense to me.

The endings contained in the leaked script and the final product are virtually identical..... They didn't change anything

[Gibb_Shepard]

That's bull. Th author has essentially taken one of Hudson's quotes and assumed that he meant they ran out of time. He doesn't provide any sources for this "breakthrough" information.

Clearly EA was rushing them to meet a deadline

Yea they had to show sales figures for Q4 since it is the end of the year and knowing that it was the most anticipated game of the year, it would sell huge and cause a rise in stocks.

 Changed the title as it was misleading.

Gotta have multiplayer and kinect!

We're aware. And we're not amused.

[Midarenkov]

Lots of speculations from everyone!

SO TRUE. Why focus on what defines the game if there isn't even a proper ending? Let's throw in multiplayer and kinect since this makes up for any awful ending we choose.

Thanks Bioware.

That almost never happens around here.

Then again, making it blue probably makes it infinitely more interesting than that 'misleading' title ever could.

It doesn't make any sense. The endings didn't change much from the leaked script, if at all. The only things we didn't know from the script was (minor spoiler) -> who the "GUARDIAN" character was and what exactly happens to relays and Shepard in all of the outcomes. The leak has nothing to do with rushed ending.

If you're talking about the Dark Energy thing, it was a rumour from WAY before the leaked script. It was just a forum post with no proof whatsoever. They could just ignore it and move on (like many of us did).

Bioware doesnt want to confirm or deny anything at this point.They just want to remain non commital and play along

So what was the leaked ending then anyway? It can't have been worse than "speculation for everyone" and "jus liek de dun herp de derp matrix".
