Well, if we are extremely generous we can call the infamous pre-release statements, our interpretation of it and what ended up being in the game a series of very unfortunate misunderstandings.
The problem starts when the only way these misunderstandings are being dealt with by the people responsible is ignoring them, locking down discussions about them and acting surprised and offended that people feel the need to broach the issue at all.

Feel free to explain how the statement "Mass Effect 3 won't have a A, B or C ending" is not a lie.
Sure.Yeah, and I’d say much more so, because we have the ability to build the endings out in a way that we don’t have to worry about eventually tying them back together somewhere. This story arc is coming to an end with this game. That means the endings can be a lot more different. At this point we’re taking into account so many decisions that you’ve made as a player and reflecting a lot of that stuff. It’s not even in any waylike the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C.
It’s more like there are some really obvious things that are different and then lots and lots of smaller things, lots of things about who lives and who dies, civilizations that rose and fell, all the way down to individual characters. That becomes the state of where you left your galaxy. The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in them. It would be interesting to see if somebody could put together a chart for that. Even with Mass Effect 2’s...
Notice that second paragraph that everyone leaves out? And how he doesn't actually say it wont have a A, B or C ending? Notice how he's talking about how different the game can be at the end, from civilisations that rose and fell, who lives and who dies, right down to individual characters? How he's talking about the state of where you left your galaxy?
Kinda sounds like he's telling the truth and was deliberately misquoted in an attempt to make him look like a liar. Almost like the people that were doing it were dishonest. Lying, you could say..

Word of advice:
If I'm quoted in something that forces the creator to admit that they don't know how accurate those statements are, and if I just showed how innacurate the most used "statement" was on the previous page, then it's probably not a good idea to use it in an argument against me.

That much (bold) is correct, I admit. Still:
"It’s not even in any waylike the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C."
That, I still cannot comprehend. With the context given by the following paragraph or without.

Say someone from Bioware came and pointed out that people were deliberately misquoting them like I just did:
How do you think this place would react? The people that convince themselves they're victims, over a year later, how do you think would they react?

What, you mean when someone from Bioware actually had come at some point to try to give us their perspective on the things? Well, I strongly believe it would have helped the overall situation. But it hasn't happened and it likely never will. Why? Possible scenarios (feel free to add and/or discuss);
a) the people who made the statements in question know they can't say anything substantial in their defense
they have the same attitude towards people who question these statements as you
c) the people who made the statements are unaware of the issues fans are having
a) andare "and/or" options

Remeber what happened when they explained why they didn't want TIM to transform into a Reaper monster? The hatred and mocking they still recieve from that?

Or this place wont listen to them and will instead turn everything they say into memes to be used against them.

Was that where the "too videogamey" thing came from? I never followed this particular topic or participated in the discussion, because the lack of a boss fight was never any kind of priority for me. Still, it's kind of difficult to follow that reasoning as I understood it if you look at the Kai Leng confrontations - it doesn't get much more "videogamey boss fight" than that. But as I said, I have no clear idea how this was communicated/discussed in detail, so I can't really comment on it.
Yeah, that's probably always a risk, especially when the topics at hand are highly controversial and everyone's mood isn't the best. They had to decide wether they were willing to take that risk in order to reach those fans that would listen and knew how to behave, and imo it's sad they decided the way they did.

Oh they explained why they didn't want to turn TIM into a giant monster just for the sake of having an end boss. They felt that TIM's power was in his mind, not his physical strength, and that games are a story telling medium so they felt like they didn't need to make him into an end boss just for the sake of having an end boss.
People went wild. Hence the "too videogamey" meme you still see being used. People use it in completely irrelevant situations to what was said because they hate the fact TIM wasn't a Reaper monster just for the sake of it.

I made an apology thread to BW about how obsessively I posted mean spirited sounding things on BSN and the internet at large, because I got swept up in an ending controversy that was ultimately pointless given how I initially liked the endings of the games - yet for somesilly reason I started concentrating on little details and started turning into a stupid example of an internet denizen where negativity reigned supreme.
So right now I'm installing Mass Effect 3, EC going to buy Leviathan, Omega and going to tear through it, ready for the final DLC
I'm going to forget about stupid Mass Effect 3 complaints that only made me add to a feedback loop. And I'm going to enjoy and escape this world
Why sit in a hovel of negativity when we can accept and let this universe continue
You can google my old posts if you wish, I started deleting some of them, but you can see how negative I was, I regret that. Because guess what? it just stopped me having fun.
There are inspirational people out there, like Gandhi and what was I doing? complaining about something because I let perception impressionabilty get to me. I liked ME3 when I first played it and I will like it again.
EA is an entertainment company, they aren't screwing our coral reefs, heck they aren't even importing minerals from the congo to make the damn machines we play these games on! They aren't sending drones into pakistan that kill children and create terrorist sympathisers, they aren't taking away our liberty.
EDIT: I would like to clarify I never made personal attacks or anything as far as I'm aware, always been against that. But I am dissapointed the tone of my posts brought me down to negative space and that sucks.
