Supposedly the ending was written by Casey Hudson and Mac Walters, and everyone else had to go along with it.

 Yet this just another straw-mann like Chris Metzen in Starcraft 2,  but the difference is that Lead Directors aren't the Writers.

mac wrote the ending himself and casey aproved it.
no other writers were allowed to peer-review it.

these are fact confirmed by bioware staff.
and no im not talking about 4chan, but after that
when this was confirmed on several occations on twitter by bioware staff

Patrick Weekes himself confirmed it, but had to erase it for fear of losing his job, you can find the post on the internet.

Makes me wonder about the future of video games. I've always played them to be entertained and to have fun.

Then came the ending of Mass Effect 3, then I watched my wife make it to the end of FFXIII-2 and was just like . . . REALLY?!

The endings strike me as the type of endings the movies have that win all the awards, but that I NEVER go to see because I find them awfully boring and . . . simply Not Fun. So why would I want that from my video games, which are supposed to be for fun...?

I was already fairly cynical, but BioWare was one of the last developers I had total faith in.
I defended DA2 and SWTOR and I stood by them. Then came ME3 and I realised just how far they had fallen.

ME3's ending was so horrifically bad it took me several weeks before I got interested in gaming again, because ME3 flat out killed it. It was such a blow to see my absolute favourite sci-fi universe and one of my most beloved series shredded before my very eyes.

The EC patches a few things, such as, you know, the galaxy being destroyed. But they insisted on keeping setting-killing elements like the spacebaby and with that, lost any respect I ever had for them.

This,  this, a thousand times this.  I even took the day after ME3 was released off of work (amazing 24 hour flu was going around.....) so I could dive right into Commander Nathan Shepard's final opus.  When DA2 came out, it was a few days before I was about to head out on vacation, and was taking the train (I hadn't gotten a good job at that point and was strapped for cash), had preordered DA2, and played it on the way to Lake Tahoe.  I enjoyed it, though I didn't think it was as good as DAO, and defended it on the forums.  I convinced many of my friends and even a couple coworkers to get SWTOR, because, and I quote "You can always trust Bioware, I mean, shoot, they made ME1, ME2, KOTOR, DAO, and DA2 was still decent-ish, so I mean, you know it will be good."

We all hung in there until I quit SWTOR, enraged over the original ending.  I guess it was my fault for expecting catharsis from a game like ME3, to make me feel like the hero (read not the tragic hero, because my Shepard was full paragon), a man who's honor could never be besmirched, and always did the right thing no matter what, to come back from Hell (like I did in ME1 and especially ME2) and embrace my Tali (come on, who else could anyone else rightfully romance?) as we rode into the sunset to rest after saving the galaxy........

Anyway, ME3 was the straw that broke the camel's back.  I was already disappointed in what happened to Command and Conquer, what happened to Final Fantasy 14, what happened to so many other games and franchises in the past.  I put loyalty into BioWare, something I don't do lightly, and defended it against what I thought were haters in the past.  I mean viciously, using alot of the same language the pro-enders use now to defend DA2 (including telling people complaining to leave.... oh the folly).  After the ending, video games didn't offer me the escape I used to get from them.  even Skyrim felt hollow when I revisited it afterwards.  Now I'm hesitant to get into a game series because I'm not about to get committed to a story line and have it blow up in my face again.  ME3, more specifically EAWare, has jaded me.  And playing through ME1 and ME2 again (which I'm currently doing cause I'm a sadist) has only made it worse, reminding me of all the squandered potential that once was.
