I know, Drew's ending was as bad if not worse than the one we got, and I really wouldn't trust Drew to right an ending.

Ah, finally someone shares my opinion about that.
When people started a thread where they demanded BioWare to implement his ending instead of the current one, I almost lost my faith in humanity. Sure, people are absolutely butthurt  about what we got, but replacing it with something even worse, just because it's not Casey Hudson's work is just stupid.

I know right? In fact, the ending we got better fit the ME series than his, and thats saying something. Having the choices be Destroy=Anderson, Synthesis=Saren and Control=TIM was clever a opposed to the "lets change the laws of gravity and matter" derp.

And why do you feel that it is worse?  His endings was that Dark Energy was tearing the universe apart (which is what currently seems to be the future of the universe in actual reality, given enough time).  His choices for the ending were to stop the Reapers and possibly destroy the best hope for saving the universe thanks to the Reapers' efforts, technology, etc; or to allow the Reapers to continue and possibly save the universe for the many while being detrimental to the few.

His endings were the very essence of 'difficult' choices that were foreshadowed throughout the entire series.  The Starchild ending was thrown together at the last minute and introduced plot hole after plot hole.  Nobody with any sort of notion of how literary mechanics works cares one whit about whether or not the ending is 'happy', they simply want it to make sense.  Drew's endings would have made sense in the larger context of the story.  Hudson's and Walter's did not make sense at all.

And yes, by any objective measurement of narrative mechanics, Hudson's ending is 'stupid'.  It fails miserably at doing what the ending of a narrative is supposed to do.  That's an indisputable fact.  If somebody disagrees, I suppose that ignorance really is bliss then (ignorance of narrative mechanics and literature in general).

Even if this is true, I would blame EA. The way I see it, Hudson realized there wasn't going to be enough money left in the budget to do the ending the way they should. EA wouldn't budge on it, so hard decisions had to be made. In a situation like that, where you know nobody on the staff including yourself will love the outcome, the fewer people involved in the debate, the better. So they locked themselves away and hashed out a way to cobble something together that would work within the time and budget limitations they had.

Blame EAs desire to maximize profits at any cost.

For fans who do not like the ending, it's threads like this that make us look bad. Please stop and think before you post.
