Dammit, I knew I should have saved some ha's from my big bag of HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Seriously, this is retarded. You cant just petition a company every time you want something redacted. I'm literally amazed that they made the one chick rewrite the book
So... did you read Mass Effect: Deception?
Did you watch the endings of ME3 while actually playing the previous games from beginning to end?
Or do you just read "LOL THEY DIDN'T LIKE SAD ENDING LOL" like half of the teenagers on the Internet and ignore the context.
I didnt like return of the jedi. Am I going to start a petition? No.
I loved the ending to the star wars prequels, do I want some fat sweaty fanboys petition to get lucas to change it to work? a-No.
The point is, the game should be a singular vision, from the team. The audience should have exactly zero input, because if they do, then you have a game designed by a committee of millions. Ever heard the term "too many cooks spoil the broth"?
Well then good for you. Glad that you are in the 4% that liked the Mass Effect 3 ending.
Also, if you completely ignore what your audience says, you soon end up like Eidos, who fucked up in Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness everything that was possible to fuck up and they had to give another studio the license to keep the franchise alive. Or Matrix Revolutions, that is not considered canon by many people due to sheer stupidity. Or Dragon Ball GT, not considered canon even by the original series' creator Toriyama.
And broke, of course.
But your examples are wrong, when you understand how bad the endings actually are and WHY (did you even watch them, or play the fucking game? that's my biggest issue with you people, criticizing us for not liking something you don't even know).
We were promised that choices matter, and they affect the ending.
We were promised an ending that would resolve all questions and we knew this was the last game with Shepard and his death was probable.
What we got was a magical God Child AI bullshit with "pick color you like" ending. Your choices didn't matter. Killed Rachni Queen? They find another one. Anderson Councilor? Resigned. Collector base destroyed? Doesn't matter, they find other reaper tech, some place else. And all teammates that died in ME1/2 are replaced anyway. While it might make sense with Wreav/Wrex thing (Wreav is Wrex's brother, next in line to succeed as the warlord of Urdnot clan), Kirahee appearing out of nowhere to protect the council instead of Thane if the latter died in ME2 makes little sense. The councilor dying there (or at least suffering some kind of injury) would be more realistic.
But nope. You pick red, blue or green space magic from the God Child. You either do something opposite to what you were supposed to do for the entire game (control Reapers instead of destroying them), do what you wanted but not without committing genocide and destroying all synthetics in galaxy, or third ending that is NOTHING BUT magic with DNA.
