User blog comment:Matthew Paul/BioWare never made a case?/@comment-24174486-20130110074615

...except the Extended Cut is the exact same thing as the original ending. It just added redundant scenes and reiterated information that the player had already been told.

I think that more than qualifies as BioWare expressing their support of the original ending, considering how they basically did not change it. (And I beg to differ on "leaving both those its defenders and detractors unsatisfied". I think the only unsatisfied people are those who expected BioWare to completely change the ending or the people who felt like the Extended Cut was just pandering to people who didn't pay any attention to the ending/game as a whole.)
