Mass Effect 3 Ending Changes Planned

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.

Because I can assure you they did, and they made it through without throwing weeks-long temper tantrums on the internet and organizing to demand changes.

Nice exaggeration. By all means, point out the people around here having a temper tantrum.

I'd say Parallax and finga are about the only two here. It's kind of the same on Bioware's forum. The ones who are complaining about the people who didn't like the endings are far more likely to throw tantrums and use massively exaggerated hyperbole to make their "point", whatever it is. (I guess their point is "Well, **I** thought it was fine, and my opinion is far more valid than yours! So shut up!")

Yes, there are idiots who are going to the government for help. There are also people who are addicted to eating glass. Does that mean that every single American likes to eat glass? Oh no, wait, it doesn't.

There are tens of thousands of people who are simply saying "your ending is bullshit, and you promised us an ending that would not leave everyone with a million questions. WTF, Bioware?"

Apparently that's not allowed anymore. If you don't like something about which you care(d) deeply, you should just suck it up and move on? It must be quite bleak to go through life like that, but to each his own.
