I'm honestly tired of Theorists telling me "I don't know enough about the lore to resist indoctrination." Truthfully, it's a bit one sided. You can't point out the flaws in my belief, because stories are mean to be taken literally by default. There isn't enough "evidence" to prove the IT, so saying I'm wrong for not believing it is just ignorant.

That said, I feel the need to point out all the shortcoming and ignorance displayed by the theory, because this could allow a very dangerous precedent to occur; in fact, it already has. It's bad enough that games like Asura's Wrath intentionally rip opp the consumer by making a fake ending continued by paid DLC, but the IT is 100 times worse than that. Making customers wait months to figure out why the ending made no sense is just stupid, and if you have to ask why, you are seriously lacking in common sense.

The end of an epic trilogy is NOT the place for a social experiment. I'm not in the game, don't indoctrinate me. My Shepard isn't me, he's a character I crafted with his own goals, motivations, and moral compass. He does things I think are wrong, but I make choices based not only on what I think is right, but also what seems appropriate. People think this is innovative and ingenious on the part of BioWare, but again, you don't simply insert some arbitrary social experiment that has has nothing to do with the rest of the game. Experiments like this are better placed in an indie game or standalone title, but certainly not in an epic sci-fi trilogy with a focus on storytelling and player choice.
