Can you honestly say you would never buy another bioware game?

I've never been a diehard Bioware fan. Just an average one. Don't LOVE their games, but they're certainly better than most of the crap out there. Or were.
We'll see.

We were betrayed on so many levels its disgusting. I can't believe I wasted so many hours in these games only to see the worst and more pointless ending in video game history.
The ending from Contra makes more sense than this.

Yes.
Because I sincerely believe that I have the integrity and principles not to eat at a resturant again if find a dead rat in my soup - and the chef says, "Theres nothing wrong with the food" even if I hold the dead rat infront of him.
Couldn't have said it better, this sums up my feelings towards Bioware.
I dont support businesses that deceive and lie to their customers, like Casey Hudson and all of the ME senior management did in the run up to the release of this game.
So no, i will never purchase a product with the Bioware name on it again.

I mean, would you stop reading books from a certain writer because he decides to do a bad ending? The majority of enjoyment lies in reading that book, or in this case, playing the game. If you are going to reject something simply because it contained one bad thing, I'd say you're quite shallow.

"Pre-ordering" and getting burned will not happen again.

But I used to automatically pre-buy their games. Then I started reading reviews before buying. Now I'm waiting for reviews + customer feedback. There is a good chance now that I'll just pass if I see an outcry like this one.
It's sad because CD Projekt RED has gained my trust with Witcher 2, they are in the category that Bioware used to occupy-- first day purchase. Also Bethesda has moved up for me due to their continuous improvement. Bioware used to be head and shoulders above every other developer for me. I never imagined a day when Bethesda or some Polish developer came close, but oh well... I kind of knew what was coming after EA bought them.

What's even better is when the other customers in the restaurant start rallying and saying, "But maybe the rat was part of the dish! Or maybe (Indoctrination theorists) he's just trolling you, and he'll bring out the real soup in the next course! Just wait and see!"
Some people are too naive. It's a gaming company. They try to make a profit, not art. And like any other company that screws up this badly, of course I will never buy any Bioware game again in the future. There's plenty of other companies out there making just as good of games. Hell, this year we'll see Assassin's Creed 3 and Bioshock Infinite, and likely one or two other titles that may not even have been officially announced yet.

Definate no to a collectors edition. Definate no to any more DLC until ME3's ending gives me more options than "what is your favorite color?" and makes sense. Throwing in the crass notepad ending "buy moar DLC!" without giving any form of closure was just insulting.
Next time I will wait for the meta critic reviews to filter in. If the next Bioware AAA title pulls some BS "art" ending, count me out. Flat out not going to buy it. Period. I pay for entertainment, not a tribute to someone's favorite indie band. If I wanted art, I would go to an art gallery. If you want to sell an artistic game, advertise it as such. Not a bait and switch.

Besides, I'm thoroughly enjoying the vast majority of ME3. With the exception of the ending, I would put it easily in my top 10 games, possibly even just pushing into the top 5.
I'm going to base future purchases from Bioware on the individual merits of the game in question. Given how much I love the majority of ME3 - indeed, I love the majority of this 90 hour or so trilogy - I'm not going to let the final 5 minutes dictate future purchases from them.

The day one DLC for ME3 was a bit cheeky and being forced to play the multiplayer to get the supposed "best" ending was a major fail.
Don't think I'll be buying their games on day 1 release, as I've lost a bit of faith in them, but I couldn't say I'll never buy their games again.
However, if they do address the poor endings of ME3 and actually do something positive about it, as well as patch the game so you don't have to play MP to get over 5000 EMS, then it'll definitely restore my faith in them and prove that BioWare really does care about it's fans.

Maybe if they did Jade Empire 2.
Jade Empire is still on my top 5 all time greatest games list and I too have wished for many years of a JE2 but what is too stop them from doing the same things that have been done to recent releases DA2 and ME3? My trust in them to actually getting it done satisfactory is at an alltime low and I never thought I would say that about a BW game.
Too be fair however it isn't just BW/EA games that I have this problem with. Other than the Assassin's Creed line everything I have bought lately has had issues or just plain bad writing/story arc that it makes me wonder why I wasted 50+ dollars. Too me FF XIII-2 is a great example of how corporate greed has over taken putting out a good product. One NEVER should have to pay extra cash for a ending that is just weak and I refuse too do it. Easier and cheaper to just watch it on youtube.

this was a let down on a much larger scale.
Avoiding EA will be harder as their footprint is sadly so large. I will think twice about what games I buy though.

Definitely not pre-ordering again. This was the first time I've pre-ordered a game but had such faith in ME that figured that it was a safe bet. Never again.

The truth is that at this point, if they don't fix the ending I will have lost most if not all faith in their storytelling ability. This was the very reason I would buy/pre-order their product without a second glance, their stories were well thought out and wonderfully executed.
I don't buy many games in a year, so I'd probably do what I do with other companies; If a game really looks good I'll pick it up in 6 months ot a year after it came out. Long enough to hear word of mouth, and possibly get a version with a bunch of DLC/extras. It's what I did for Fallout 3 (waited till they had the Game of the Year edition with all 5 DLC) and Borderlands.
Just being realistic instead of irrational.
