Slowly but steadily, I'm coming to that conclusion. Unless DA3 somehow re-incorporates the DA:O characters I came to love, I think I'm done with them.
Even if they fix the endings, I have no intentions of buying anything else in the ME series. Mass Effect isn't Mass Effect without Shepard & crew.
Can you honestly say you would never buy another bioware game?

Maybe, if it have good player's reviews, when I could buy it for 9€.
Never again preorder (this maybe even if they fix the ending)

Can I honestly say that I'll never by another BioWare game if my issues with the ending of ME3 aren't rectified? Absolutely.
ME3's ending was a travesty. At launch, TOR was a less-functional WoW clone that brought nothing inspired to the table beyond an excessive amount of voice acting. While I haven't played it myself, friends who've played DA2 have consistently berated it as an at best shoddy follow-up to its predecessor.
BioWare is beginning to demonstrate a pattern of lackluster game development, and as a result I will have no qualms with not purchasing future releases only to find them vastly inferior in one or many respects to titles that have come before.

Why not? Bioware is not ONLY company that makes good games, after all.

I wouldn't say that I would never buy another Bioware game, but will I pre-order and start playing at midnight of a release again? Definitely not. I'll be waiting for fan reviews to come in before I pick up the next game, and if they're good, I'll buy it.

I can't even focus on playing any other games at the moment.I keep wanting to put ME3 back in and replay it, but I know I would go through the same heartbreak all over again.
I am done with Bioware/EA until these issues are resolved, story and loading/framerate. No pre-orders, no purchases, no more of my money until there is DLC that fixes this, and if they charge for the DLC, I'm waiting for the player reviews on the forum, not the mass media review.

I haven't bought a capcom game since they announced ultimate marvel vs capcom and cancelled MML3.
I haven't bought an Activision game since CODMW2.
It looks like I won't be buying another BIOWARE game unless this upcoming DLC is ree and it clarifies and gives a better resolution. I sure as **** won't be buying the OMEGA DLC either. I didn't buy any dlc for mass effect 2 and I won't be for ME3.

It's hard to say "never" with any real certainty. HOWEVER, up until now I have had a great deal of trust in Bioware that they would consistently deliver a narrative experience that I would enjoy. I have so far loved all the BW games that I've actually played (admittedly I have not played DA2, which based on what I've read, I probably would have not liked), so they had a certain degree of trust built up with me. Now though, it's hard to say. If they stand by their ending and continue defending it as "art" and give the impression they don't know why people are upset...then yeah, that would result in a serious loss of that trust for me.
Again, hard to say with complete certainty, but I personally would be a lot more cautious with Bioware games.

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes."
Sorry, had to.
No, I won't say "never" because that could be a lie. However, what I can say is that I will *NOT* be pre-ordering ANY editions of their games in the future. I'm going to wait for friends to review the game for me, since review sites hand out 9s and 10s to shoddily put together games with a big enough marketing campaign or fanbase, just to keep hits up.
Between Dragon Age 2, certain story elements of TOR, and now ME3, Bioware has officially broken faith with me, and will no longer get the Fanboy Benefit of the Doubt when release time ccomes.

I feel little confidence in BioWare at this point. I only ever jumped on because of the Mass Effect series. I'd never really played BioWare games before that point. Naturally this little fiasco has left a seriously nasty taste in my mouth. I probably won't be picking up new titles unless there are some serious concessions with ME3.

I can only imagine, ending sucked, have to buy DLC to get real ending. Why can't they just do DLC like valve instead of DLC that can and will impact the story.

Why not? Bioware clearly has a bunch of talented people working for them. Sure the endings sucked, but the rest of the game was absolutely amazing. If their next game captures even a fraction of Mass Effect's greatness I will buy it day one. I mean did everyone just forget about how amazing Bioware's games are? The only faults have been Dragon Age 2 which just good not great, and the last 5 minutes of an otherwise fantastic trilogy. I seriously don't get all the hate (well maybe I do a little).

Not only would I not buy another Bioware game, I would not buy another EA game....and once my 6 month subscription to Star Wars The Old Republic is done, I will cancel that membership too.
So yes, I can honestly say I will not buy another bioware game.

Most likely, I probably will play other BioWare games. However, I'll only be doing so after waiting for other players to review the game and make sure that from start to finish, the game is a complete and satisfying experience.
I think many BioWare gamers are like me, I put a large emphasis on the story and characters, gameplay mechanics and voice acting are great but no game really can hold my attention for any extended period of time unless I can get really invest something into the story. Otherwise, I might as well be playing Tetris. Furthermore, a bad ending really can sour the entire experience, as it did with Mass Effect 3. People who would argue "ignoring the 120 hour adventure because of the last 10 minutes is juvenile or silly" simply have different tastes that I do and take something else away from their gaming experience. I could forgive a poor introduction, or fumble here and there on the way to the end, but end itself, the culmination and climax of the experience is essential and for a game to leave me feeling as Mass Effect 3 did, it really does ruin the rest of the experience.

I personally don't want another Mass Effect game. I think it'd get redundant and silly. But as strongly as I feel about ME3's ending, I still love BioWare and this is really my first big disapointment. I rather enjoyed DA2 thoroughly despite some of it's flaws. Looking foward to whatever they come up with.

I don't understand how ME3's ending relates to their future games. They will have different teams/creators. I don't think it's a break of trust, I don't think they intentionally tried to disappoint us. I think they thought they had a good game but f****d up bad.
What I didn't like is the day-one dlc and multiplayer being an integral part of single-player and the fact that their games are starting to move away from the type of rpgs I love. But I still like the way they write characters and stories. I'll buy more bioware.

Honestly? Yes, I've dumped companies before, and though it'd be a pain, the quality of bioware was has dropped to the point where I've started to consider this as well. One of the reasons I stopped playing games by Square-enix, though in the past the quality of the narrative was great, they lost touch with their fan base. It's sad to see it happen, but it won't be the first or last time.

If they did nothing about the ending? How many of you can actually say you would never buy another game from them, even if they released a ME4?
I will never pre-order again. I will let others find out if they lied in the developer interviews.

The ending is not quite bad enough to preclude me from buying another BioWare game. However... if nothing is done... I can say that I have NO plans to buy any future Mass Effect games that build off the story of this trilogy (non prequels).

I would only buy after reading user reviews. They aren't developing anything I'm interested in (unless they're working on a DA3) anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. I would only consider a DA3 purchase after launch and with user reviews indicating it had gone back to its roots, DAO. If it was even remotely like DA2, I will pass.
