 They added a full fail ending that many people didn't really care about

but they didn't add a full win ending that many people did want

But you can't have art if there was a 100% win ending

Because they don't care what their fans want, hence why that full fail ending was quite literally a middle finger to any who disliked their endings enough to want a fourth option.

Did you decide on your signature with that train of thought?

Because a full win ending inherently defeats the moral conundrum they want you to face.  It no longer becomes a judgment call if there's a "I win" button that gives you everything you want and nothing you don't. 

A golden ending cannot exist in the type of ending Bioware went with.  That's just how it is.  I'm sorry.  Bioware listened.  But listening doesn't mean "give them what they want."

Many people wanted refusal to lead to destruction before the EC, I think there was even a few threads on it, I remember at least one pretty big one. Plus refusal is pretty much an extention of events that can happen Pre-EC if you don't choose anything after a certain amount of time, and it is called the Extended Cut.

Happy endings are not artistic thread starter. Sad stupid endings that makes you feel like crap and not wanting to replay the game is the way to go.

They do care, but they're allowed to create and express the endings in a way they want, regardless if its accepted by fans or not.

To be honest, I don't get this logic. If Bioware didn't care about their fans (even as a means of profit) then they wouldn't have made the extended cut and gave it away for free in the first place.

Think of it this way, if it doesn't appeal to a certain fan's mindset, then they believe that Bioware doesn't care.  They can't create something that will appeal to everyone, it can either be hated, be loved, or in between, with varying #'s on each side.

Reason and logical thought processes ain't welcome here, boy.

If you ain't lashin' out with raw emotional rage, you best jus' git!

Because an 'I win' option invalidates every other ending. As bad as some of the concepts in the ending are, it's still BioWare's story. If they want those endings to stay, they have every right to keep them there.

If nothing else, it will make seeing how Biwoare chooses to market their next Mass Effect game really interesting.

When did they say it will shape the "outcome"?

If Bioware didn't want to make a 100% happy ending, player aren't somehow automatically entitled to one. Bioware was never going to fundumentally change the premise of the final choice.

They made it because fans were so p*ssed even amazon was giving refunds for returned ME3 games.  They had to stem the tide somehow, so EC was made to run out the clock.

If they really cared, they would have actually, you know, used the EMS system they created to make less grim endings possible.

As it is, EC is the exact same endings (+1 "Screw you, hater!" ending), only more detailed.  A delaying tactic and nothing more.
