or the business faces the customer not spending anymore money at said business and said customer could possibly convince dozens if not hundreds of other customers not to spend any money at said business.
BioWare is no different than any other business. If ONE of their customers has a problem, they need to fix it. In this case, hundreds of thousands of their customers have the same problem. For example 30,000 Toyota owners have problems with their brakes, Toyota issues a recall, fixes the problem at no charge to the customer.
So when BioWare sells a product that is not sound with what they said it would be, and hundreds of thousands are vocal about the said problem, then BioWare needs to fix the problem, either with DLC or a full refund. If they don't do either and just say what they been saying which is basically, "why don't you guys take a walk" they will lose hundreds of thousands of customers and gamble with their Public Reputation being permanently damaged by said customers. Not to mention the loss of Millions if not tens of millions of dollars in revenue, every year, forever.

I agree that no legal action should be taken until after BioWare's "April Announcement" which may or may not take place at PAX. That being said, if BioWare's "April Announcement" is the Retake Omega DLC and NO MENTION of "Fixing" the "On Disc" ending to Mass Effect 3, that will be the time when Mass Effect fans need to get serious. The only problem I forsee is the money it would take to hire lawyers of our own to fight EA's lawyers. We have a case, a real one, but getting it in front of the Judge is a challenge, once that's done, the Judge would say in the Turian Councilor's voice from ME1 when being presented with Saren's audio tape, "This evidence is irrefutable"
First and foremost, I've supported BioWare for many years (DA:O/SWTOR/ME1&2&3/KoTOR), but clearly with the Game Informer magazine issue 217, May 2011 and all that was stated in it, the literally Color Coded, A, B, C endings in the game files and the complete 180 from what we were told and what was promised (many statements and promises from multiple members of BioWare that I won't take the time to post here), the Federal Trade Commission should, at the VERY LEAST, know (from the hundreds of thousands of us) that BioWare used False Advertising to sell a product.
To be realistic, getting a case like this in front of an FTC judge is hard, but NOT impossible. Even if it was impossible, it SHOULD NOT STOP US from letting BioWare/EA know that they crossed the line. That being said I'd be willing to represent the Fans of Mass Effect in front of a Federal Judge assuming that BioWare/EA never reveals plans to fix the on disc ending
Here, (a very small portion) of my evidence:
This story arc is coming to an end with this game. That means the endings can be a lot more different. At this point we're taking into account so many decisions that you've made as a player and reflecting a lot of that stuff. It's not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C" - Casey Hudson before ME3's release.

All the news articles, forum posts, all the Fan's of Mass Effect and their opinion.
