The BioWare Blog has a post from BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka confirming that criticism of the ending of Mass Effect 3 has had a massive effect on them, and they will indeed be changing the way the game ends, as they said they might. Here's a bit on their change in plans, and what lead to this point: Building on their research, Exec Producer Casey Hudson and the team are hard at work on a number of game content initiatives that will help answer the questions, providing more clarity for those seeking further closure to their journey. You’ll hear more on this in April. We’re working hard to maintain the right balance between the artistic integrity of the original story while addressing the fan feedback we’ve received. This is in addition to our existing plan to continue providing new Mass Effect content and new full games, so rest assured that your journey in the Mass Effect universe can, and will, continue.
The reaction to the release of Mass Effect 3 has been unprecedented. On one hand, some of our loyal fans are passionately expressing their displeasure about how their game concluded; we care about this feedback, and we’re planning to directly address it. However, most folks appear to agree that the game as a whole is exceptional, with more than 75 critics giving it a perfect review score and a review average in the mid-90s. Net, I’m proud of the team, but we can and must always strive to do better.

Creston that was a really interesting post -- we'll never really know if that guy's post is true but it has the ring of truth to it. I dont understand why there was not at least one other person involved in the decision how to end the game. That is the part of that post that I am not quite willing to believe.
Actually, that's the part that REALLY rings true to me. Because it lines up very much with what that "Final Hours" thing has said, that it was Casey and Mac Walters going over the ending in November, yadda yadda yadda.
Which is in direct contrast to Casey saying earlier that the endingS (plural) and their nearly infinite variations had already been established by the end of ME2, and the team was diligently working TOWARDS them.
Only to then find out that come the last three months before the title's in the shop, they still have to fucking figure them out. It's like Ron Moore and the Final Five. By the end of Season 3, he was going "Shit, I guess I really have to figure out who the final five are."
Creston
I'd be surprised if that write up isn't true to be honest. Laidlaw flat out lied more than once during DA2's dev cycle. I wouldn't doubt it's happened with Hudson in regards to ME3.
