If that's truely going to be free, I wonder how are they going to circumvent Microsoft's allergy towards freely-distributed DLCs. The same reason why many good games in Xbox haven't been able to get their DLCs which had been distributed for free in other platforms, such as Bastion. Also the same reason why the ME1's DLC BDtS wasn't free on Xbox, unlike on PC, until Bioware circumvented that limitation by packaging it together in the Platinum Hits edition. | ||

They're just going to have to charge one dollar for it, as was the case with Bastion. | ||

You know I thought Naughty Bear was a terrible game. They owe it to us to fix everything wrong about it and give it to us for free. Really guys? Bad ending or not, Bioware can't just slap on a new one without you instantly feeling cheapened. But somehow people seem to think that a free DLC will come to 'fix' mass effect 3 for the masses for posterity's sake? They've seen enough of the poor feedback and hopefully will take it on board for their future works. But re-writing a large, and obviously quite expensively developed, portion of the game just so people stop complaining? I'd rather they throw that half a million dollars at charity. | ||

Should we send a long petition to JK Rowling to fix the ending of Harry Potter? How about George Lucas. Can we get a good petition going for him to fix all of Star Wars episode 3?

You know that the original ending in the game was changed at the last second and dropped because of the leak right? They aren't rewriting it, they are [hopefully] changing it to something closer to what it was supposed to be, not the garbage it is now. And I don't know why you are so opposed to feedback. Bioware releases ending, fans don't like it, Bioware changes it. How is that cheapening the experience? Are we even talking about the same thing, because it sounds like you haven't experienced the ending or haven't played the game. If you had, or knew the context of the situation, you probably wouldn't have posted what you did. Also for the record, JK Rowling did an interview which answered questions about almost every character in detail after the release of the final book. And most of the problems with episode 3 are not story problems, but special effects or minor plot holes, not defusing of the entire story. So, your examples don't provide much as far as insight goes. | ||

By that logic all game development should be donated to charity. | ||

I don't buy this, for the same reason people are skeptical (or surprised?) they'd completely "release a new/fixed ending"... Money. Completely rewriting and reworking the end "at the last minute" because of a leak? Might explain why people think it's "shitty" but would never happen for budget reasons. Unfeasible. Finished last night. I'm not going to bother with my input, the world has heard enough and my side has been said. Though I will say, it isn't negative like the vocal majority right now. | ||

Now that Bioware has denied this indoctrination conspiracy theory, can we put that to rest? As for people aying they are going to pay for real ending DLC, what prevents them from just tricking Bioware into releasing that and then pirating what was stolen from them in the first place? | ||
