The reason for the ending change may have been different, but the point still stands, they CHANGED their ending, why can't Bioware? I more than understood that the ending to ME3 was going to be a one way trip, but does it have to be such a badly written one with more holes than charcoal? At the end of such a series I feel like I should be satisfied, whether it be happy, sad, or a bit of both, the current ending just made me feel depressed, empty, angry, and above all else, unsatisfied. This ending goes against everything this game stood for, especially the fact that the ending didn't have any closure at all, and then BioWare kinda made the rather stupid sounding statement of "Oh, we didn't know you wanted to know what happens after the end." BS, they KNEW that after making such a game that people would want to know what happens, especially when you rake into consideration how long they've been around and how renowned they are for making great RPGs.

And as for the idea that fans will keep complaining about other games if they fix it, could you show any other kind of uproar that has happened over a game? And then fans subsequently acting as if other companies should bend over backwards for them? BioWare may be trying to resolve the issue, but as far as I'm concerned if they had half a brain they would have sen this thing coming, also, its just bad writing in general to not have an ending in the first place like that and then release the ending at a later date, I would recommend you watch a video called "Tasteful Understated Nerdrage". He talks about everything that went wrong, both from a fan and customer perspective. And the only reason they are resolving this issue is because of fan outrage, not because they feel they should do it for the games quality sake. They said they were listening but did they acknowledge the fan's dissatisfaction to the extent they should have? No, instead they said that those who liked the ending far outweighed those who were unhappy with it, when in reality there was an almost universal 90% of fans who disliked it, they're trying to make this issue seem far smaller than it really is, then they go on to brag about how the game got perfect reviews by a number of critics, and then say how they are proud of their team's "Artistic Vision", there is nothing to be proud of in the ending that's all I can say, so no, they are most certainly NOT listening to the fans as you imply, as I said before, all they are doing is alienating, antagonizing, and ignoring their longtime loyal fans (I'm not one of them, I've only played Kotor and ME), which I really hopes bites them in the A$$. From what I see, BioWare has nothing to very little to lose, and a lot they could have gained by listening to the fans instead ignoring them. Is it to early to judge the EC? Yes, but if its more of the same, then there is no way they can salvage it, I mean come on, the Starchild? Just about the worst thing they could have added, and the only real way the crucible could work is by space magic, the complaints aren't just about the lack of reference to previous actions, but also the large amount of (well justified) confusion and nonsense, not just plot-holes.
