You should assume it when statements by the Devs said they didn't feel the need for the explanation they are giving right now when they originally made the game. Therefor, everything in my original statement stands. They are adding the ending so we don't throw a hissyfit and ruin their paid DLC. You really shouldn't assume the best about people you don't know..especially when they work for a corporation, and ultimately are much more concerned with their job than anything else. Saying every dev cares about their work is as dumb as saying every shepard cares about their sheep... a few do, but 90% do it for money.The Wumpus wrote...

Dude please remove their nuts from your mouth. They are working like all of us do to get paid, because there was a massive backlash towards one of their products. They are not doing this out of respect to us, or because they actually care, they are doing it so they do not feel the repercussions through loss of profit. The large amount of demand was for a new ending, not an extended clarification, regardless of whether or not you think they shouldn't have to change the ending.Hatikvah07 wrote...
Seriously, these guys are working their butts off to make something we demanded (and then got) and people are treating them like crap. It's sickening.
And the claim of "it's just a couple people, everyone else is civil!"; uhhh, like half of the posts on the forum are people being openly hostile towards Bioware, in increasingly awful ways.
Every dev cares about their work. Your game really does become like your child, after putting so much into it -- not just so much time, but so much of yourself. As a dev, you want people to love your game, and if they don't, you want to make it so they can.
Besides, BioWare's already been paid for ME3. Devs get paid during development, not after. They might get a bonus if a game performs well, but the bulk of the money they made on this game is already paid and secure. It's not about that.
Really, you shouldn't assume the worst about people you don't know.
Oh, believe me, no one gets into this business for the money. Anyone who does gets out of it real fast.
Devs work ridiculously long hours, sometimes completely unpaid, for months or years at a stretch, to make their part of the game as good as it can be. The reason so many devs thank their families in the credits is because they spend so long away from them, they might as well be working in another country. And sometimes they are; a good friend of mine spent months of his life last year flying back and forth between here and the Czech Republic. I've seen testers sent to work for months in Russia. Hell, one of the devs of the original Phantasy Star got in trouble for going home to sleep one night.
Money? There are infinitely easier jobs with shorter hours that pay much, much more. You work in development, you do it out of love and out of passion, because nothing else will see you through it.
