Generals 2 and them I'm probably done, I'm not big on RPGs and Mass Effect series was about the only one I play
Is ME 3 the last BioWare game you're buying?

Depends on how they handle the ending. Leaving it as is or just an explanation, yeah, I'm done with them - fix it to be something the series deserves and I'll be all too happy to throw money at them for years to come.

Depends on an Ending fix.
1) If they disappoint me like they did with the original ending. No more DLC, no more Bioware products. I can't trust them to make a product I will enjoy.
2) If they have a so-so ending. I might buy maybe half the DLC for ME3 but stop buying Bioware games after that without a serious good review from friends.
3) If they exceed or give a REALLY GOOD ending. I will buy all DLC for ME3 and maybe a Bioware game in the figure without waiting for ratings. Doing this might earn my trust back.

Extremely likely. It's like FFFF this SSSS. KOTOR screwed up, DA screwed up, ME screwed up. FFFF this SSSS. No well in hell will I ever trust bioware, and when Casey or Mac walters is in the crew, I will be looking at the game through tinted glasses. FFFF this SSSS.

All depends on what happens, currently still have a tor sub but thats up in the air as well (not over this, well mostly not over this). If they come up with goods, an ending that makes sense a not some space magic or insanity logic etc then I'll still be a fan of bioware. If not then I'll be very careful in buying their products again if ever.

ME3 was definitely the last pre-order. I would love to boycott them completely but they may actually release something worth buying later. I will wait for customer feedback before spending money.

If the ending DLC comes to pass, no, ME3 is not the last Bioware game I'll buy.
If ME3 is brought up to speed with its marketing and pre-release developer interview promises, I'll go back to my previous stance: if a Bioware game seems interesting to me, I'll get it.
If there are DLC packages for ME3 beyond an ending expansion, I'll get those as well.
If there are future ME universe games, I'd try those (I really do like the ME universe - over the top space opera with "big dramatic tech" - but it's fun).
HOWEVER, if Bioware ends up stranding ME3 where it is, then YES, ME3 will be the last Bioware game I get (at least new).
That has nothing to do with "punishing" Bioware - I just wouldn't have any faith that what the game is designed and advertised to be would be what is delivered in the package.
If a game was well reviewed by FANS (not the professional gaming press, who showed their true colors over the ME3 ending scandal), then maybe I'd pick it up, but again, probably by that point I could pick it up used, so Bioware probably wouldn't see much profit from me.

Never say never, but nothing they have in the pipeline intrigues me like ME 3. SWTOR isn't my kind of game, Dragon Age is not exactly looking great with DA2's expansion being shelved.
The team should maybe focus on some fun one-offs for XBLA / PSN, maybe some games for handhelds and smartphones/tablets. IMO, stay away from AAA blockbusters until they have a solid roadmap for existing and original IPs (which they assuredly have but are likely reviewing it to avoid further negative reaction.)

If they don't fix the damn endings, yes. I'm tired of this. I payed 40 bucks for DA2, and 80 bucks for ME3. If they don't deliver, I'm gonna go hang out with Gaben and Bethesda. Bethesda has never disappointed me, to this day. Valve has a few times, but it was excusable.

Yup.
Never again do I want to experience THIS level of anger over an ending.
I vote with my wallet, and my wallet says NO.

Probably not, I'll just never preorder a BioWare game blindly, like I did before, and wait for reviews and fan reactions of the games.
Dragon Age 2's linear structure ruined that series for me and now, with Mass Effect 3's linear ending, they have lost my trust on how they build future RPGs. Even if they release DLCs to improve the endings, the damage has been done. Why would I want to pay BioWare for a better ending, that should have been part of the original experience?
BioWare can only learn from this and move on to hopefully make fans happier in their next game.

It Depends on how this is handled. If they deliver a satisfying conclusion to this franchise I will go back to buying all their crap.

Depends. If this was the real ending, probably not. I'm going to stay away from anything where EA doesn't give developers the time they need.

Not necessarily the last game I'll buy from BW, but definitely the last game I'll pre-order or get the CE for.

Based off of their current stance about fixing this, yep. Bioware has been churning out crappy products a lot lately, I don't think I'll be missing much. But I will miss what Bioware used to be.
Oh well. That Bioware is never coming back no matter what, so I'm fine with this.
Now, if by some miracle they make things right, I will be in awe. I will become a bigger fan of them than I ever have been before. But really? They've made their intentions clear, and we have as well. I'm done with Bioware, but I'll wait until the information on the ending 'alterations' are made clear. I have no doubt the ending will be slightly better, but that's still nowhere near the real of even mildly acceptable.
It's been fun, Bioware.

If they fix the ending, no.
If they don't... And all we get is "clarification", then yes. No Mass Effect DLC, no Star Wars, no Generals 2, no nothing.

I can't really say it'll be the last at this point. I really don't know what all the future may bring. That's as honest as I can be about that. Still, that said, I don't feel I've got any desire to buy any DLC for ME3 as long as it's all still going to lead to this same disjointed ending. So I don't expect to be spending any more on ME3.
While I don't know that BioWare has lost my business in the long run, they have lost a helping of 'trust.' They've moved from being on my 'short-list' of developers who I'd basically buy games from as a matter of course, to the 'standard list' -- meaning from here on out, my attitude is going to be much more 'wait and see.' I'll wait for the post-release reviews -- no more rushing out to pre-order.

Bioware needs to win me back here. If they couldn't care about ending Mass Effect 3 properly, why should I trust that any of their games will end right? Don't get me wrong, I loved ME3, but that ending just had a special something that buried the good times.

I would absolutely love to say "No" to this. But I'm realistic about things like this. I will say that this whole thing has lessened the chances of me buying anything though. Not enough to flat out say "No".

We will see in April. They have one last chance to redeem the end of ME3. If they fail, I will not buy Dragon Age 3 or any ME3 DLC.
