My prediction: Bioware will NOT address this ever. If they were going to do so, they would have by now.
My ME3 purchase was on hold (due to pre-order DA2 burn) awaiting bug reports and fan reaction. Now with mandatory multiplayer and end fiasco said purchase will await bargain bin or I'll just skip it. If all content can not be accessed by SP only - yeah, I'll prob skip it. Not that EA/BioWare care about my single purchase anyway.
I don't think Bioware is going to fix it to our satisfaction either, but if enough people are disappointed or angry I believe it could hurt their future sales... I for one will never ever pre-order any of their games again... and if they ever come out with another ME trilogy I'll wait for reviews, bargains etc. or just go back to FPS, which is my gaming style. This was the first RPG I've ever played.
I had pre-ordered the Collector's edition for PC, but because there was a delay, I went out on day 1 an bought the Xbox version as well. For both versions I have ME2 imports, but now that I've finished the xbox version, I have no desire to play the PC one. It's going to collect dust for awhile... I don't know.
Even thought I'm disapointedd in the ending choices and the various plot holes, it's the Multiplayer aspect that has me the most angry. I haven't player MP in over a decade and really have no desire, but because I felt emotionally compelled to see the "breath" ending, I decided to try it... and even though its not bad, I shouldn't have to play MP to get over 5000 ems. It's alot of work when I've already sunk 75+ hours into the game (I really take my time and pause to check out the game guide tips :-)
Also, the fact that the war readiness rating keeps declining each day is absolutely ridiculous and angers me even more. This is an underhanded tactic to make money and disregard the core audience that made Mass Effect successful in the first place. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did anyone purchase ME3 solely for its MP content?
It's a shame, because Mass Effect 3 is a great game to play right up until the last few minutes.
