We got screwed beware took the cheap way out instead of listening to the large majority of their fans who hate hate hate hate the ending . I hope to God you guys have actually given us the answers we deserve but I highly doubt it ! I mean the fans did 90% of the work for via the indoctrination theory but you guys made your decision and have alienated the majority of your fans for what ?
Hardly the "cheap" way out, then, since "alienating fans", if that's indeed what'll happen, will end up costing them more in the long run.
The indoctrination theory is just an interpretation, much like one could interpret a Shakspeare play or a painting or one of Michael Stype's lyrics. Funny how parts of the video game community won't let a game series, though by no means flawless, as thorough as the ME series speak for itself, worts and all. You won't hear music, art, literature and film connoisseurs demand changes to works within those fields. Point of flaws if they find them, sure, in the hope of improvements in the future. But demanding a change to an existing work? Only in game land.
Anywho, each to his own, I guess.
The indoctrination theory is pure desperation.
It is little more than thought out fanfiction with way too much holes in it to hold up.
The only reason people don't shake their heads at it and say "yeah well, and we never landed on the moon, our government is run by the illuminati or aliens, etc. ..." is because it is like a straw people hold on to because they really liked the characters and story a lot and weren't emotionally satisfied with the ending.
It does not matter if it was good, logical or fitting.
What matters to them is that they did not get their little blue children or house on ranoch, etc. ...
Actually it just shows how good Bioware is at telling these kind of stories and creating characters that people get so attached to them.
And if you actually believe your comment on music, art, film and literature ... wow. You should go out and talk to some of these people.
Because they do.
And that the majority of the fans did not like the ending is just fact. No argument there. And no point.
Because it won't hurt them.
When their next title comes out (that will be years) people won't say "dear god, remember how I hated that ending of that game years ago? Not buying this", they will just buy it.
Anyone remember how much the "fans" seem to hate the Star Wars Prequels? Yet everyone went to see them and they made a ton of money.
