No one would mind paying for DLC that explore each alien planet with more detail. But the requirement is that the Ending be altered, as otherwise there is literally no point buying them at all. A Nihilistic ending is all well and good if you deliberately want to kill a franchise, but I am sure Bioware want the opposite of that.
Yeah, in the end Bioware needs to look at this ending situation as an investment. If they screw it up they will lose plenty of people that would have come back for more Mass Effect games/DLC. Don't charge for it, get them back on your side and then get them in for stupid things like rescuing Omega or whatever.

Definitely right now there just isn't any point to replaying or considering whatever other DLC they have in mind. Whatever planets we might go to, they are just as screwed by the ending as everyone else.
