Yes.
You can still have the current endings *and* add an epilogue, or a "Shepard woke up" thing.
This this this this this this and indeed this.

If they released a good ending I would probably forgive them.
However in some ways as some people have said, the damage is already done. It would be a long time before I could trust EA and BioWare enough to pre-order.

Something that involves the whole squad, starting off with a ground battle in London that shows the loads of results of gathering war assets, followed by a beam-up to the citadel, wee romp across the citadel to the Crucible VI. VI tells you you need to jam a reaper into the mix too for the full reaper-killing effect. Then has a kick-ass space battle sequence (Normandy! Joker! Blasting the hell out of space-borne reapers! More war assets!) where you wrangle a reaper into the gullet of the citadel (hey, why not Harbinger?) Then a top that off with a final ground romp to an epic ending that actually allows some insight into the reapers' cosmological significance and actually allows me to win (i.e. not be a war criminal). And then an appropriate epilogue that gives me the broad strokes of the effect my important decisions have made on the galaxy and my crew, and Shepard. The possibility of tragic and sudden death all round during the finale is fine, as long as it's for a reason.
Kind of like what I thought I'd be getting.

Sure, after a few months you might get a new ending. But the original ending, the most dramatic moment, has already passed. The best you can hope for is, months later, to replay the game and pretend that the previous ending didn't happen. The ultimate moment in any RPG, that first playthrough where your emotions are running high and you're gripped by what will happen next, is gone.
I didn't like the ending, not at all. I've explained why it is objectively bad. But the internet phrase "can't unsee" is perfectly accurate here. Once you see a person's face, no amount of makeup or plastic surgery will ever make you forget how that person actually looks. This ending is the ending. All you can achieve is a high priced DLC alternative ending that has probably already been leaked to the media. Would that actually satisfy you?
If it made sense, even if it is very bittersweet, absolutely I would he happy.

A conclusion directly determined by Shepards choices throughout all three games. And closure.
Personally I would like to see the ending(s)...unfold based on my choices, rather than be a selection. But thats just me.

If done right that is.
*Bringing closure, with an actual (un-insulting) ending, also end-clips/text/sliders or what ever, showing the impact of your actions throughout the games. and include Dark Energy in a meaningful way!

Yup, closure is important.
Indeed.

There's no way they could guarantee a new ending would shut you people up. All if would probably do is reignite the controversy at a point in time where it has cooled off. Emboldened, you would start a new petition to get it changes AGAIN. Or a petition to get somethingt else changed.
Bioware can't win with you all, so they shouldn't waste their resources trying. We get threads all the time begging for Bioware to make official comment and when they finally do, this place erupts in their lap. You are best avoided, rather than engaged.

Anybody with any experience in this life knows that getting your way almost never makes you as happy as you think it will. The toothpaste is out of the tube. The genie is out of the bottle. Pandora's Box has been opened. Elvis has left the building.

Keep in mind if they were to make an attempt to fix the ending, a sizable portion of the current hold the line movement would call hellfire down on the people that demand a re-revision. This would be preferable for Bioware simply because we'd no longer be as united against the ending-- we'd actually be able to give Bioware a chance to escape.
Most important, a good portion of us would look at it, say "They actually do try to listen to fans" and let that be the end of it.
