It would make sense if the DLC ending actually cost money, but it's free, so they made no money on it. I'm pretty sure they actually lost a lot of money... What they did, was to try and save a bit of face, since they stood to lose a lot of bussiness on ME4. Imagine the outrage if the Extended Cut was 5$ instead of free, it would be even worse then disc locked content. To get back on track, there is a very good reason i don't believe the Indoctrination Theory. It's because a Twitter post from the developers shortly after the games release actually came right out and said that everything that happend in the games, really happend! They wanted to make this clear because they thought that if it was actually true, it would undermine future projects. Another point to make, is that the signs people point out, doesn't match the description of indoctrination in any of the medias. Early stages of inductrination (Saren) is a form of suggestion, and the person would be very outspoken about their appreciations of the Reapers, which Shepard never does. Later stages works like a brain cage, where the person is aware, but unable to control their actions or block out the Reapers suggestions (grayson). None of these fits Shepards dreams and actions, since he/she didn't stop thinking that the Reapers should be destroyed at any point during the three games...
