@Phantomdasilva: the fans demand that BioWare change the ending. They are not requesting it or petitioning for it, they demand it and they haven't the right to do so - no matter how much money they spent on the game or how they invested in the story.

@PhoenixBlue: a novel, movie, video game, or any other kind of artistic medium gives its creator the right to handle it as he (or she) sees fit. I watched movies, read books, and viewed other kinds of "art" that were, to say the least, pure crap. Many of those art forms were very popular with the intended audience. The promise BioWare made (as far as I know) was regarding how they saw the story/end product - not how the audience chose to see it.

@ -S-: until the clarification DLC is released, you can't assert its relevance or if it will provide closure that will make the current ending make sense. It's doubtful that it will, but it's possible.

Personally, I didn't like the ending. It didn't make much sense in my opinion but I won't condemn the people who made it. I almost didn't buy Mass Effect 3 after the disappointing Mass Effect 2 story. In my opinion, the previous story didn't make sense at all throughout the entire game, provided no relevant information, and felt like a waste of time until they deal with the Reapers themselves in the final game.

Perhaps that is why I enjoyed ME3 so much, it had a good story, great character interaction, and the first game that felt like Shepard is changing through the events of the story and that the decisions made can have different effects.
