Regarding Mass Effect 3: Artistic Integrity and the doom of gaming as an artistic medium

[Tanakh]

There is a difference between an artist responding to an audience and an audience demanding a change. I think that was in my post somewhere.

Again, you are obviously not familiar with art history then. Janáček for example could either adapt his operas or die due hunger, Orozco had periods where he needed to do portraits suiting the depicted tastes or be homeless, how is that for demand? Did they became worse for it? Doubtful.

Edit: And no one is forcing Bioware to anything, they can't do that legally. EA is just a company that sells videgames, they live for that, the audience is saying "we didnt liked parts of your last work, change it or we might not be interested in buying from you anymore", i fail to see any problem in that.

There is nothing wrong with that. People just have tunnel vision when they read my post and think I am against the change occurring or people being for it. I am against people demanding it be changed and people who believe they have a right to have the ending changed. I do not presume that is the majority of the retake mass effect people. I am somewhat iffy about people directly asking for the ending to be changed, though as long as it is combined with a good critique of the game I'm fine with it.
