My common sense tells me that assuming a majority feel a way about a game because less than one percent of the people who've played it feel that way is a very poor assumption.

This whole "less then one percent" argument is flawed and comes from a misunderstanding of statistics. In order for it to be true, ALL the customers that disliked the ending would have had to vote on that particular poll you cited as the basis for this argument. This is RIDICULOUSLY unrealistic to say the least.

Even worse, you argument degrades the supporters of the ending as well, and to a much greater extent. If 99% of the customers were satisfied with the ending, how come not even 1% of them had voted in its favour on that poll and supported the company? You're effectively saying that they all liked the ending, yet only a tiny proportion of them had ever voiced their support for their company, or defended them in the easiest manner possible by having overwhelmingly positive response to the poll. Yet, this isn't what has happened, as the results of that poll weren't even split or divided 60:40.

In short, there is no way on this planet that this argument can be true.
