I'm personally going to give Bioware the benefit of the doubt and just blame EA for everything that went wrong with the ending. Even though *coughcough*DragonAgeII*coughcough*...
Spoiler for spoilers:

There is no reason. It pretty much doesn't make sense in ANY of the endings. I'm guessing it was developed much earlier in the development process and when they were rushed to finish they changed the ending, but tacked this on anyways because they already had finished and hoped no one would notice or care.

And I didn't even think about what the Normandy was doing until I saw that guy's YouTube video above. I mean, there's no way Joker and the rest of your team would ditch you during the final battle. I don't think we're asking that much, anyway. In Star Wars, all of our heroes lived, kicked the Emperor's ass, then threw a huge freaking party. I don't see why ME3 couldn't have at least one ending that does the same. Spoiler for spoiler, but I don't think it much matters at this point...:
Okay, I gotta stop thinking about this. It's just putting me in a bad mood more and more.

I've got to try this sometime...
Edit: While I have already stated that I'm more or less indifferent to the ending (though it would be nice if it was changed), this particular article raises some very good points about alot of stuff related to it. Protecting Creative Risk: Why Mass Effect 3's ending should never be changed

It's not like there's no precedence for this kind of thing. Stories get retconned for commerical purposes all the time, not because of any kind of 'artistic merit'. Just look at that recent Spiderman reboot where Spiderman makes a deal with the devil to reset the Spiderman universe. There are movies where extra footage is added to (especially endings) in the DVD release where theatrical endings are different than the 'real' ending. Even books get subsequent editions where sometimes major things get changed. Great Expectation also got a happier ending after initial negative reception from the first ending. So basically, everything comes down to money. If the customers make enough of a fuss to make Bioware think they might actually lose money from this (loss of future sales) then they will probably address the issue somehow. Edit: Bioware has already 'patched' a novel because of fan reaction to the novel breaking canon: http://kotaku.com/5882185/bioware-to...-to-fan-uproar So the possibility is there. Also, lulz image summarizing everything that's wrong with the ending: Spoiler:

The anti-synthetic argument of the story is so racist that it is insane. The script writer of ME3 might as well be a Renegade, arguing that the only good synthetic is a dead one.
I am not falling for it. People have the right to be synthetic, or be organic, or a mix of both. I will not force any choice on the entire galaxy. I wanted to fight for the freedom of all sentient beings, and that's all I ever needed. Choice. For all. Choice, the right to choose. Something Bioware removed.
