So, apparently, there is a lot of pushing on the Bioware forums to change the ending of Mass Effect 3.

I'll start by saying that I haven't played ME3 yet, but half-know about the ending choices. It didn't really spoil me, I kinda predicted that there would be a bit of a downer ending, so it was unsurprising. But apparently people were so shocked by this that they want BioWare to change the ending, or give another choice.
Personally, this is probably the most mind-numbingly stupid thing I've ever seen on the internet ever.
Guess what: BioWare have the right to do ANY ending they want. If they thought that a downer ending was the best way to end the series, then that's what they thought, and NO-ONE ELSE has ANY RIGHT to tell them to change it. No-one. Anywhere. Ever.
It's fine if you don't like the ending. That's cool. Lots of games have bad endings. Lots of trilogies have bad endings. What you are SUPPOSED to do as a mentally well-adjusted adult is get past it, and get on with your damn lives. Seriously.
People petitioning for an extra ending or a different one is just a silly as me saying "Oh hey BioWare I saw this great X-Men/Sonic/Mass Effect crossover fic and it's way better than your story you should change it". Except there'd never be a petition for that, because that's stupid, just like this is.
Beautifully, people were joking about a "new ending as DLC" rip-off and this pressuring of BioWare MIGHT make that happen. And then you'd just complain about it afterwards.
Seriously. Play your games. If you like them, great. If you don't like them, oh well, get on with your life. If you were to try and force every developer to change a game you didn't like, you'll have a lot of letters to write.
