I don't believe that the ending of Mass Effect 3 was anywhere near as bad as people make it out to be, but I'd rather people believe that BioWare was incompetent rather than dream up this imaginary garbage to justify it. I know it isn't true. I was at PAX East. I asked two writers and a producer if they had intended for people to draw IT as an ending conclusion. They said "no".

Gaddamn it, I hate this ending argument crap. I've tried to avoid it for a long time. Mass Effect's one of my favorite game series, but it's just a game series. We need to move on. People have already taken it to levels it never needed to go to. False advertising lawsuits? Really? BioWare has always cared about what the fans think. The fact they're giving us Extended Cut proves it. That's more than most get, and yet people are still acting like it's meaningless. But no matter what Extended Cut brings, it won't be enough. Most people have already made up their minds and will continue to fight a meaningless battle.
