The plain and simple fact is the only true way to show discontent in a product is just as you said... when the next line of products come out whether it be DLC or entirely new games with the Bioware mark... players that are that furious over ME3 should simply stick to their guns and stay away from anything labeled Bioware.
Will it put them out of business... heck no! But even if they lost 1,000 consumers to just one major title at $60. In the grand scheme of things it may not look like much compared to the millions they still would earn... but it's still $60,000 they didn't earn. And a statement never the less.
Overall the game for me was fine. I enjoyed it. The part that was subpar was the ending because it showed a major shift in the quality of the writing. For 3 series it was building up to something that at the end simply tried to convince you was no longer the case and just handed you an ending without any end effort (as in a final boss) that should have dwarfed the final scenes of the first two games.
If EC doesn't match up to what you expect... complaining further isn't going to earn you extra changes. Simply stick to your guns and quite simply... stop buying Bioware products. Half who say that's what they'll do are likely to double back on that threat and buy the stuff anyway. I'll wait and and see what EC holds, and look to reviews by players on any DLC.
I still like Bioware products... even if my faith in them has been lessened after two misstepped titles. If anything... a lesson for me will be to wait a little longer after release and read player reviews to see if the next best thing lives up to what they say it should.

If we 'wait and see' on the EC and it doesn't address the issues people have, then what?
Do people really think EA will be willing to provide bioware with funding for another chance at ending DLC? hell no, they'll move on to paid for DLC instead.
The guy(s) that gave the ultimatum are afraid that extended ending won't be able to fix the ending adequately and by the time they get to see EC it will be too late to have input. EC is going to be make or break for a lot of people after the recent disappointments from bioware. These people don't want to threaten bioware but to let them know the consequences or their choices.
