I think you misunderstood.....I was saying that if you're happy with the current endings, then you're already satisfied, and that's cool. All they would have to do is make alternate/additional endings that implement some of the bigger fan theories out there, such as IT just for example. That way it doesn't invalidate their original endings at all. You'll still be able synthesize or control to your heart's desire if that's your wish, but if you want something else, you can get that
This is the crux of the problem. What the poster you are replying to is failing to note is that many people have already written in support of new endings that they would even be willing to pay for. There have been numerous threads stating this over and over again.
This would mean more money for BW to keep creating things, and would increase the fanbase by bringing back some disaffected fans. The people that would be unwilling to pay will not come back no matter what. The people that are happy with what they have by and large aren't going to complain. However, there are loud voices on both sides that might make some noise. I do think those that say that means you have to pay to get a good ending do have the most valid complaint, but I suggested this as a compromise. I see that BW screwed up royally, but in my mind I can continue to sing the same song and not want it fixed (it's not realistic to expect a free fix) or I can compromise. Would I be totally happy with this? No, but bottom line for me is making the game satisfying and something I like playing. I believe it's a fool's gambit to try and force BW to become a non-business at this point. They made a mistake and fixing it would need cooperation from all of us.
The other side of the argument has always been rather silly. I've had people complain that if BW made new endings it would be wrong because too many people would want them. That makes no sense, but is honestly what people have said. In fact, this is exactly the reason for BW to make new endings.
I've said they would be completely optional-like what you have then you'd never have to see the new endings. Then, another ridiculous statement is made that a person who likes the endings they now have would always know the new endings exist and it would ruin their game. Ok, I don't understand this either. Some of the people that said this also say they never listened to pre-release hype about the game. They know all about the hype and what the devs said so why didn't this ruin their game as well-never saw it either.
I was even called selfish for suggesting that fans who wanted a new ending would pay for DLC that would make BW money, regain some fans, make way for other DLC to be created that would have a bigger audience (having regained some fans). The thought was that it would mean BW wouldn't have time to make other great DLC like Omega (which is meh-would have been more fun if the endings had some winnable aspect and more buyers).
My point here is the reasons for BW not to create new endings are IMO really weak and just plain bitter in some regards. Creating new endings would actually have been a positive move-a way to even bring back some fans and make the game playable to the end.
