We bought the game, we played it and while a very very very small minority liked the ending as it was presented, (No Indoctrination Theory) the vast majority hated it as being terrible, which it is... calling that ending terrible is honoring it, but for the sake of being civil, it will do. Immediately as the outcry began to build, game critics, established journalists who we don't know but you do began to demean us and insult us... for no more reason than YOUR ending was terrible. It was YOUR ending that caused the consensus of people, from all different outlooks to see what was promised and see that what we were presented was EXACTLY what we were told was never going to happen. Thats called false advertising and the BBB agrees. So now we see things like THIS, that show your overwhelming disconnect to your fans. You think because Mass Effect was a success that you have to add those things to Dragon Age... and we got Dragon Age 2, which is universally considered to be worse than Origins(to what degree is open for discussion) But Mass Effect 3 turned from a widely anticipated game into your own personal way to milk your fans.
Now, I understand business... I understand the bottomline and trying to make a profit but the truth is that your practices are taking away from the game itself. Multiplayer pass codes? Really? So people can't buy the game used... Day 1 DLC... so If I want to bring my game over to a friend's house and show him a scene I can't (I have the cloud thing on Xbox Live that lets me save game files to my XBL account, not just on the HD) because you had to put it on DLC. You want to hide behind Artistic Integrity... fine, do it... ignore your fans for a month, release an announcement for ending DLC and then tell your fans you arent talking about it at PAX... you are just quickly bleeding fan loyalty and when its all said and done... at the end of the day, this game that you thought would be a gold mine to farm from fans will end up costing you dearly. Imagine the next Dragon Age comes out... day 1 DLC also, like the Prince for DA2... and you sell half the copies of 2, no collector's editions and no DLC. You think its impossible? Its not. Fans who are continuously treated as though they dont matter, are fringe "angry" people who just dont get it. I wasn't so angry for the years and years and years that I loved you guys and supported your games. Hell just look at my registered games on here, I have nearly everyone one of your games for every platform. THAT is not because of day 1 DLC... and a terrible ending or being insulted or terrible PR... that is quality, great games, complete games that were a great experience and true to what the genre was you were going for. The space Opera of Mass Effect was transformed by EA to being a Space Shooter. Battlefield in SPACE. The Journal system was awful.
I could overlook all that... I could ignore all that IF the ending had been a well thought out ending. If you had put HALF the time and effort your fans have into writing fan fictions that are better than yours, re-edited versions of the ending WITH NO BUDGET that were better than yours... and frankly more passion that you displayed at the most important moment. 99% of the game can be great but in your final moments you failed to deliver so completely... and in the following weaks behaved so poorly, so asinine, so devoid of sincerity... that even if the ending DLC is good, fans will still feel this sting for a long time. I will get over it if the ending DLC is good but if you would have just let Casey and Mac apologize and said you messed up and were doing a new ending this WHOLE thing would be over. But no... your hubris wont let you and now we are where we are. Entrenched... and your once super loyal fans are being told that either they accept your terrible PR or they dont matter and are stupid... wrong its just so wrong.
Also, I reiterate... THIS is insultingly bad.
