User blog comment:Kaloneous/Mass Effect 3 Ending DLC Denied and PAX/@comment-173.8.174.253-20120315142408

If that is really the case - the Bioware knowingly released the game without the real ending - they should at the very least be upfront about it. They should have issued a statement prior to the release of ME3 that the ending is coming later in a free DLC. It would be highly unethical of them to knowing release the game in an uncompleted state, and take people's money, without letting people know. That is called false and misleading advertising and asides from being unethical, it is also illegal.

Even if they did knowingly release the game without the ending, and were not sufficiently ethical to let people know beforehand, they should be standing up now and making that statement. But they are not. The official word from Bioware is that this is the real ending, its great, and you slobs are just to whiney, entitled and unsophisticated to appreciate our great art.

So, do I believe this "leak"? No, I do not. There is a growing firestorm around the game as more and more players run into the termination of the game (not the ending, because it is not an ending, it simply stops). The user ratings for the game are dropping (down to 2.5 stars on Amazon now). There are reports of the game being sold back to places like gamestop in droves. Given what Bioware did with the release and what they've publicly stated now for a while, if a DLC comes out that continues the "ending" from where ME3 stopped, it would be hard to believe that it was anything more than a post-facto fire fighting effort launched by people within Bioware who are more concerned with saving the company's reputation than their own egos.
