All really good points, thank you Xelestial. Whilst some of the "Indoctrination Theorists" section was about why it isn't feasible, I was also explaining why it's wrong for a developer to pull this kind of scheme. A lot of people actaully think getting a fake ending is a good thing. Making us wait months and months before they reveal "the truth" is just insulting.

In a story, the climax comes after the falling action, not months of frustration and confusion. BioWare obviously didn't plan this from the beginning; there has been zero communication from them. Even if they did, that's still a terrible idea. Why would you want a developer to release an unfinished game? Are these people really happy that players lacking an Internet connection will never get the whole experience? Mostly, that section was not so much to refute the possibility of it. All of the "evidence" in favour of the Indoctrination Theory is equivocal; there really isn't any solid proof for it. Thus, arguing whether it is true or untrue seems rather pointless. I just don't like when Theorists use said equivocal proof and say it's absolutely true, despite no confirmation from BioWare. It irks me further when people call that kind of shoddy, shady business tactic great and innovative. That kind of talk is what helps BioWare get away with screwing us over, and many of them don't even realise it.
