Because it would mean they literally shipped an incomplete game. That is unethical. Any free dlc later would still be something that should have been part of the game. This is something you don't leave the customers to discover on their own; it is something you have to prepare them for. I say it's a fake, as they are clearly too lazy to do this. If they can do it, they would be able to afford animating Tali's face.

Blizzard cancels the loved event Blizzcon and delays Diablo's release all for minor polishes. We raged. But now I think BW just proved on 2 fronts the shit on reputation could happen if Blizz did rush them both...

See, the thing is, many game companies have rushed releases in the past. I just don't think I have ever heard of one that decided the final ending was the one thing they should cut corners on.

The producer seems to keep contradicting himself
I didn’t want the game to be forgettable, and even right down to the sort of polarizing reaction that the ends have had with people–debating what the endings mean and what’s going to happen next, and what situation are the characters left in. That to me is part of what’s exciting about this story. There has always been a little bit of mystery there and a little bit of interpretation, and it’s a story that people can talk about after the fact. Your right, it's not going to be forgettable because even if you add in more DLC down the road people will remember how you dropped the ball on the ending. And when you make more games people won't forget this either. Especially with this is not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C." He's clearly never played Chrono Trigger. Then there's this It’s very important to us and we will always listen to feedback, interpret it and try and do the right thing by our fans. That’s why if you look at Mass Effect 2 we knew that people wanted to spend more time with a character like Liara, and so we created an ongoing storyline with her as part of the comics and then built it into the DLC stuff, and we’re always listening to fans. We have some really great multiplayer content and some really great single-player content coming over the air, and their feedback will become part of how we design that. So if a large portion of the fans are unhappy with the ending does that mean he's going to change it? Talk about a hypocrite. BTW I'm hearing news on the net that shops like Gamestop are getting tons of used copies of ME3. |

The game assumes that we hate robots. Seriously, that's what it boils down to. The final ending is written for those who want the geth dead. And even the Synthesis ending is entirely morally wrong. Spoiler for synthesis ending:
The Reaper's entire logic is flawed. All of it. It is the creation of a low grade computer program I wouldn't feel fit to make my morning tea. The fact that the writing staff actually thought it was acceptable, tells us all we need to know; they are not capable of writing a better ending. The original writer for ME 1 and 2 have already left, so I guess that's to be expected. EDIT: There is a source claiming that the original script was like TTGL mixed with Madoka; The Reapers were trying to prevent Dark Energy from destroying the world. But it seems instead they changed it to blame robots instead. Now we KNOW this game is going to fail in Japan, even more than usual. Robo-phobia doesn't fly in the land of the rising sun.

Remember, Bethesda released Fallout 3 with a terrible ending, and that was the intended ending. The fans reacted negatively with far less fervor than ME fans are reacting now, and Bethesda released a paid DLC to fix the ending (Broken Steel). I was annoyed, sure, but I bought it anyway (well, I bought the combo pack on Steam after I had already purchased FO3 on disc). Broken Steel, taken on its own, was worth what I paid for it. I'm annoyed that it wasn't free, but since I bought FO3 GOTY edition for $20 on a Steam sale I'm not overly concerned.

If they were serious about having a direct continuation, they should have hinted it properly and had something more substantial. None of this silent treatment. It is NOT right to sell a game with no ending, and even worse is to hold it back indefinitely while customers rage. By the time they released something, there would have been many ME3 games returned to game stores as 2nd hand goods. What it boils down to, is that the game company wants the customers to tolerate being sold an incomplete product for no reason at all. While keeping all the customer money. I call that fraud.

That video is pretty amusing.
Seems like they kind of went for a FreeSpace ending and missed the boat. Also what is this Indoctrinate theory ending? On the plus I could get the game pretty cheap used since the local store has a number of copies returned now haha. If they do release an ending DLC it better be free or people will aslpload

The "it's all an illusion" ending. As in, the ending is so illogical that the only way it could have occurred is if it is all fake. Which means Bioware shipping an incomplete game and charged full price.
