I find this depressing for a completely different reason then you seem to. We already knew or could infer a lot of this. And we know the ending's going to be changed - but that's the real problem.

See, one thing I worried about after hearing that we'd be getting "closure" is that it would simply involve finding out more details about just how badly we screwed over galactic civilization, without changing anything. I dismissed the possibility because it would make absolutely no sense for Bioware to get fans' hopes up and then dash them. But as The Forgotten Jedi says, this decision makes absolutely no sense either. I can't think of a single other franchise that has ended with this big of a downer ending. And if Bioware is truly this out of touch, not just with its fans but with people in general, then the assumption that they'll approach the "closure" DLC in a reasonable fashion suddenly becomes a lot more questionable.

Still, I'm not giving up hope. There's no reason why Walters can't be overridden by saner elements when it comes time for the DLC - we already know that there's been some dissension among the creative staff.
