Headcanon is only one step removed from delusion

Might as well be the infinite width of the universe then.

NO official confirmation=it did not happen

That's why it's called 'headcanon', or 'fanfiction'.

 
Don't care, I did not pay 60$ to headcanon it.

Neither did I, but I'd rather pay £40 and enjoy a little writing than be perpetually peaved at the situation. So I did something about it for myself. 

But to each their own. I don't disagree with your point. 

I might buy the next games...used the only companies getting my money now are Vigil 343i and Crytek

Rockstar, Valve, Bethesda, DoubleFine, rocksteady, Bungie, 343, From Software, CD Projekt, ArenaNet and Irrantional Games are all on my list of trusted developers. 

The Assassin's Creed Ubisoft team, Crytek, and BioWare are all on an imaginary list of developers to watch out for before I buy.

Lots of stories work this way. Deal with it.

Tolkien didn't leave Frodo on the slopes of Mount Doom after the One Ring was destroyed either.  

Bioware did, effectively.

As for headcanon... Well, I have Salvation in my signature (taking a break from writing it for a while).

No you FOOL!
Shepard DID destroy, control or synthesise!
In high EMS destroy, it is STRONGLY inferred that he survived.
Even if he WAS shown reuniting with his friends (something they INTENTIONALLY left open for YOU to imagine, as many good writers do) Who's to say a meteor or suicide bomber won't kill him 2 minutes later?

Do you understand my point? Either way you'd have to infer and use your imagination.

I hope this is sarcastic, for your sake.

How is anything I said not true?
You think every story should have a  "20 years later, Shepard was happy with a family" caviat?
You're the one who failed!

I assume  I'm teh "FOOL!" you're referring to?  

Nice way to start a debate, btw.

Destroy+ (higher than High EMS destroy) SHepard is implied to have survived, but it was delibertely left ambiguous.  (As if having seven other endings where Shepard clearly dies wasn't enough)  There's nothing "Strong" about it.

A meteor dropping on Shepard is considerably less likely to happen than Shepard quietly bleeding out because nobody knew where he/she was on the Citadel.  Which, based on that closing scene, was all too liekly.

Some ambiguity is not necessarily a bad thing. As I said, it allows the audience to use their imagination.
Besides, Shepard comes back from atmospheric re-entry and you're worried about a little boo boo?

I think some people forget that Shepard died from that. 

I'm pretty sure there's not another mysterious stinking-rich high-tech terrorist corporation organization waiting around to bring her back to life if it happens again.

I like the destroy ending, though my head-canon does extend further in that direction....Where the new catalyst, formed of my Shepard's renegade mind slowly becomes oppressive. The Reapers forge a "paradise", a stifling, suffocating dystopia where all resistance, all rebellion is crushed without mercy.

A dream turned into a nightmare. Sounds like a fun place to start the next adventure.

No cerberus to rebuild Shep this time around.

I'm pretty sure medi-gel is pretty good bro. It got me through a lot of **** during the trilogy.

Medi-gel doesn't resurrect the dead. 

[GreyLycanTrope]

If it does can we give some to Anderson? Rather fond of the guy.

CPR can restart someone's heart, just think of what possibilities their advanced technology has for resuscitation.

Some?  Perhaps.

But the last image we see of Shepard is a torso burned, bleeding, buried in rubble, apparantly breathing irregularly, not to mention alone in a previously unknown section of the Citadel.  And it appears to be generally assumed Shepard is already dead anyway.

 This is not a good foundation for speculating good things for Shepard's long-term survival.

You are seriously ignorant. Yes, it does.

Eventually after your heart stops you will however become brain dead.

I believe the last time they used cutting edge tech it took two years, millions of credits and some crazy experimental research. Be people behind that research got killed during the start of ME2, galaxy's kinda lacking in resources at the moment too, galactic wars tend to do that.

Who's been dead for only a few minutes, and the operative word being 'can'.

, just think of what possibilities their advanced technology has for resuscitation.

Not sure how much access they're going to have to all that advanced tech in the ruins of the Citadel after the battle with the Reapers. Most population centers on Earth are a ruin, and it looked like there was about twenty battered and bruised ships still intact after the Crucible went off. 

They also have to find and transport her first. A bleed out also isn't exactly the easiest thing to just CPR away.

1. Just because it has "cardio-" in there doesn't mean it can restart a stopped heart.

2. It can kickstart someone's heart, but that isn't it's purpose. notice the "pulmonary" in "cardiopulmonary".

I bet it was stem cell research.

A million babies were killed to resurrect Shepard. Canon.

Not millions.  Billions

4 billion credits.  And yeah, the galactic economy's on the verge of collapse at this point.
