"the fans demand that BioWare change the ending. They are not requesting it or petitioning for it, they demand it and they haven't the right to do so"

Really demand/request/ that's just semantics and only differs in terms of the "tone" of your criticism. People slop the term demand because fans are criticising the work heavily and in a frustrated wayand saying the work is really bad unless they change the ending.

Whether you are requesting or demanding a new ending, the reality is, I don't like the ending for x,y ,z reason and we want you to change it and if you don't we may not buy your products any more.

If you say that politely, it's request, if you say it aggressively it's demand but really it's the same thing in the scheme of things. The only person demanding in a real sense in the person complaining to trade commission

"You wouldn't do it to a writer"

to be honest considering that Sherlock holmes death was retcon due to fan complaint than yes why not.
