User blog comment:Der Schreiber/Casey Hudson Comments on ME3 Ending/@comment-58609-20120314025559

Looking at the article in question, and Hudson's statements made two months before release in regards to game endings...I don't know which is worse. That we were lied to, or that he (and other writers presumably) actually believed the endings we got count as variety. And in regards to the quote above:

-I don't think near universal loathing counts as "polarizing."

-What debate about what the endings mean? Control, destruction or synthesis, galaxy screwed either way, bizzare plot twists, etc.

-The characters' situation...stranded, and even if they ARE rescued, are left in a galaxy that, as mentioned above, is left in a dark age. There's a difference between a downer ending and a bittersweet one.
