If I was to look at things from BioWare's point of view, there is almost absolutely no reason they can't change the ending, while there are a lot of reason for them to change it, about the whole fan entitlement issue, and that we should be grateful that BioWare is doing something about it, why not? Bethesda changed the ending of their game over a much smaller fan outcry about an ending that despite a few plot-holes made much more sense than ME3's, and I don't see Fallout fans demanding every single thing about a game that's flawed be changed.

We may not spend munch as individuals, but because Bioware is a company, their main objective at the end of the day is to make money, more so with EA being the publisher. But as a whole, we're the reason BioWare is still running, I would say BioWare had the advantage in that it has a large number of loyal and longtime fans, who it knew that even if the game wasn't very well known to the public, they could rely on those fans to buy it.

We all know falsely advertising a product will bite you in the a$$, well, BioWares doing just that, and antagonizing, alienating, and ignoring said loyal fans. They could have changed\retconned the original ending, their rep would improve, their customers and fans would be satisfied, and they would make more money in the end, everybody would win.

Instead they said they were listening to us, ended up ignoring us ,said how the game got a bunch of perfect scores, then used the pathetic excuse of artistic integrity, there's nothing artistic about that ending, it's inherently bad, no getting around that. They aren't fixing the issue, they're telling us why the ending sucks instead of doing something about it, the only way to improve the ending bar a complete rewrite, which they would have done if they wanted to fix the issue, or, better yet, at least add the EC in the original game, it would make sense to do so for a game so centered on choice and consequence. Would be the IT, which I don't think makes a lot of sense, more sense than the original ending, and what about people who don't have internet? They will forever be stuck with an incomplete game. In the end whatever damage BioWare could have fixed is already done, have fun with your "Artistic Integrity".
