And you are welcomed to all the dark content you want.
Apparenty, I played a very different game where dispite centuries of hatred and bigotry, the Galaxy's Races banded together.
Despite fear and selfishness, one sacrificed his life to give his racial enemies hope for the future.
Despite all the deaths happening at the galactic scale, one person, stood up and said "No, we won't lay down and die, quietly into the night." and gave hope to many without even that of their own survival.
I played a game that over the course of 5 years, and three episodes, told me that there us value in tbe human spirit, that one can do the impossible, and that I didn't have to resort to betrayal nor use the enemies' tactics to win. (well up to thst last 10 mins)
I played a game of hope.
What game did you play?
Your vision for the game was a lot different than the writers had. It's their game and their story. Not sure if you read the license agreement, but by installing the game, you agree to use it as is (without changing it). As a consumer though, you are entitled to a refund or an exchange. Does not give the consumer the right in order to have the product bend to their wishes though.
Some people were perfectly okay with the ending, so if some people liked it then the whole "didn't get what I paid for" is an isolated incident and not something that affects everyone. It's an entitlement issue.
That might be true if ME1 and 2 didn't allow the illusion of choice or to play out very different success or failures. ME2's suicide mission is the best example of this. I have a save stashed that has Shepard dead. Yes, *DEAD*, so no, I do not need ME3 to have Shepard alive at the end. I also have the true hero, saved every damned person I care about (minus plot deaths) win from ME2.
In ME3 its death for Shepard all round, and yes, that is a corpse on ground in Destroy because unlike some here, who espouse "realism" but won't accept that for Shepard to be there, on rubble when last seen on the Citadel, in orbit ... lets just say the human body can only take so much blunt trauma without immediate medical attention before it expires, not to mention a severe case of dead due to extended vacuum exposure, planetary re-entry and already severe blood loss.
Anways, getting side tracked.
While it might be true that Bioware owns the game and story, as a consumer and fan who want to see them succeed, not just in making a good game but in the process financially, a game *should* at least give the player choices (especially for an RPG, where player emotional investment is high) to not just fudge the "win" as they did with ME2, but to win in entirety.
ME3 didn't do that and paid the price.
Just how much, we won't know.
But I am pretty sure it is a significant number.
But who knows, I can be wrong and EA/Bioware is swimming in goodwill letters, fan approval and more importantly, profit from sales.

As a fan since Shattered Steel days, as someone who do not think twice in paying for subscriptions for 5 SWTOR accounts (yes, my family are geeks and gamers) and yes, my children talk and recommend to their friends, I want to see Bioware make better games for me and my family to enjoy.
Recent response and veiled insults however, tells me as a customer, to go elsewhere.
