It's THEIR game, they can end it however they want.
Sure there are things that I wish would have happened differently - yeah I'm looking at YOU, Harry Potter Epilogue - but creative control is not (and does not belong) in the hands of the consumer. If they want to create their own content then by all means...
J.K. Rowling is not responsible for the fact that I am dissatisfied with her inclusion of an epilogue. But she did and so that's that. If I want a more palatable alternative then I know where to find some, but they are HER characters.
I should mention that the only exception to this rule is George Lucas. Lucas seems to be intentionally pissing people off with the changes he is making. But this is comparing apples to oranges. Lucas is going around applying s***** changes to a product that everyone already loves.
Well, the end is pretty stupid. I would like something different as well.
The problem is that the Mass Effect series is a series about choice. Then you come to the ending, it provides 3 choices to make for your final choice. Only to find out that all 3 choices are all pretty much the same ending, and all choices you made before that through Mass Effect to Mass Effect 3, all become obsolete. They didn't mean a damn thing in the end.
So yea, it's a pretty bad ending. I don't mind them trying to get them to do something different.

Anyway, I can understand people being unsatisfied with the ending, and BioWare has set a precedent of responding to fan demand before, so why not give it a shot.
I saw that a while ago. I couldn't care less, it just means the game is a 9/10 instead of a 10/10 if it ended with a proper epic final stretch that the trilogy deserved.
The problem is that the ending is pretty much creatively bankrupt and is a result of Bioware writing themselves into a corner and not caring how they got out of it. Like...if you put more than five minutes of thought into the ending at all, it doesn't hold up, or make any sense, or anything. It's bad writing. And to me that makes it seem like Bioware themselves didn't put any thought into the ending, or just didn't care.
I think the fans definitely have a right to be upset over it because the ending just craps over the entire series.
