I would be impressed if the MP microtransactions continue to pay for SP content, I'm almost positive that we'll see MP DLC for free as long as the model continues, and SP content will be for a nominal fee, no more than $10, just like ME2's & 1's DLC.

Yes it needs to be free or like $2 Max

Why?

Because things didn't turn out how they should have and Bioware need to adapt to the current situation or just abandon Mass effect.
Personally $2 is a very fair price for the DLC we will be getting which will probably be most likely of poor quality based on the current standing within Bioware.

[Khajiit Jzargo]

No, and I'm not buying, its probably going to be a mission, and then you get the Reaper as a war asset, it won't affect the ending so why do I care?

[Ryzaki]

Free?

Pfft. I wish.

We'll be lucky if it's less than 10 bucks.

[comrade gando]

Heck no. And thats a shame because if leviathan doesnt make me feel better about the ending then Im not buying. Pointless.

No. Paid DLC will serve in part to test how many SP fans are willing to buy ME content now that this debacle is "over."

YES.... lol I know my friends and I wont... except for one on xbox live. He is a die hard ME3 regardless. So out of 7 people that play ME in my friend's list, 6 wont lift a finger. Horray!

So it all boils down to Bioware not doing what you want them to do. Alright.

No. And to be honest, I'm not sure parts of this fanbase actually deserves any more free content.

Quite franckly the EC was not free, I paid 60$ for it. The product I got was obviously not done when I got it, and while I still do not like the ending, I will concede that at least I have a complete product now. Will I thank them for it, absolutely not, the ending was barely at the draft stage and they deserved every single piece of complaint they got for it.

The product was done. It didn't crash at the end or anything. You reached the end, made your decisions and then the credits rolled. Did the original endings suck? Yes. Does that mean that the game was unifished? No. You got a finished product, thought the quality of the endings were very much debatable. A movie with a crappy ending isn't an unifinished movie either. It's simply a movie with a crappy ending. 

If the rest of the game sucked I would agree, but it didn't. The rest of the game is technically speaking in terms of quality of the cutscenes and dialog just so much better that it is sadly obvious that they did not apply the same standards of quality to the end. If you do not apply the same criteria of quality to the last features of your product then you are not done, and neither is the product. Bugs are just one metric on the quality of software, just because it doesn't crash doesn't mean it is done.

Not really.
It boils down to them not sticking to the themes of Mass effect 1 and 2 and giving the fans something bad for Mass effect 3 that didn't really fit.
And they failed to send this game off on and epic or good note, for the majority of people the game is meh or worse.

I don't see what's so hard to understand here.  Bioware made a game with an ending that a significant number of players (and a greater percentage of hardcore fans) didn't like.  The fanbase complained.  Bioware's PR response sucked, and fans got increasingly upset.  Bioware then addressed the problem (whether successfully or not is another issue).

What is there to be upset about?  What has the fanbase done not to "deserve" X? 

If a company sells any other product that doesn't meet the majority of customers' expectations - and those customers complain - and the company responds by modifying the product - then it's considered basic customer retention.

If its being paid DLC would ensure higher quality, I'm all for it.

As for our current DLC, the EC could never have been monetized without utterly destroying consumer confidence in BW, and MP DLC can't be monetized without fragmenting the playerbase and making it much harder for the matchmaker to do its job. MP gets its revenue from microtransactions, anyway.

So I guess a music album with a crappy track at the end or a movie with a bad ending is unifineshed too, according to your weird logic. You make very little sense.

They offered the EC for free, and that fixed the ending for most people (as that poll on facebook clearly showed).

[Sundance31us]

No, I believe in paying people for their work.

[clennon8]

Zero percent chance of any more free DLC. ZERO.

Remeber what I sad. PARTS of this fanbase. The majority of BSN is still whining like a spoiled child even after the EC has been released. When you continue complaining and trash talking Bioware, even after 3 free DLCs, you deserve no more free content.

EC was an insult to gamers overall in the bigger picture of things.

[Blitzhawk65]

Leviathan DLC won't be free. Zaeed was free because that DLC was a reward for purchasing a new copy (something that Javik probably should have been for ME3). Firewalker was free because it was short and introduced the hammerhead to be used in the Overlord DLC. EC was free because Bioware built a huge rift in its fanbase with the BS over-hyped endings, and multiplayer will contine to be free because they want people to keep playing multiplayer and they want people to buy the MP packages for money.

Bring Down the Sky, Pinnacle Station, LotSB, Overlord, Kasumi, Arrival, and Javik all cost about $10. Pinacle Station bombed and Javik was frowned upon, but the others were well-received. That said, I have a hard time seeing many people buying ME3 DLC unless it has an impact on the ending. Personally, I probably won't buy it unless reviews indicate that it changes the ending. Otherwise, you probably just get a 2-hour mission and a war asset (a mechanic that has already proven to be mostly pointless). $10 for 2 hours worth of content isn't worth it to me (that would be like paying $60 for a 12-hour game).

[Dragoonlordz]

No and it should not be free.

An insult?! Strangely enough most people outside of this mental social network have been satisfied with the EC. It's only insulting to you, because you're mad Bioware didn't do what you wanted them to do. Stop acting like a spoiled child. It's embarrasing to look at.

EA handing out free DLC again???
You dont know how silly that sounds. You have to pay over 10€ just to get 4 new maps in battlefield 3
