EA really did win. That's really strange to me considering that BoA has a larger customer base than EA and BoA's customers have a plethora of horror stories.

I wonder why Microsoft wasn't part of this. They'd probably go pretty far, too.
Mind you this is the first time I've seen this so maybe they *won* a few contests before.
The problem is that everyone seemed to have the opinion of "BioWare can do no wrong", but then finally they did something people didn't like and all of a sudden it's s***storm of the century.
I don't have enough time in the Universe to list all of the bad games and/or decisions developers have made since the dawn of gaming. There's no way in hell any Dev deserves this much hate and acid from their fan base.
Honestly... I know it's only a handful of people out of all of those who dislike the endings doing stuff like this, but it's seriously childish at best.
Complain about the endings, ask BioWare to fix them, explain them or re-write them, but to purposely (try to) destroy a companies reputation over a 10 minute segment of a game is screwed up. I don't care how much time people have invested into the ME series - I've put a good couple hundred hours in myself - at the end of the day they're only games.
The annoying thing is, as unlikely as it is, if EA were ever to decide BioWare wasn't worth the trouble and shut them down, these guys'd be the first ones to complain and say how great BioWare was and how they should have been kept.

Well the main problem with this is that Bioware hyped ME3 to hell. If you're going to shell out for the amount of advertising prior to game launch stating how it will be the next best thing, you have to ensure that the game lives up to the hype.

A fair point, but to be honest, anyone who buys into hype - especially that level of hype - deserves all the disappointment they get.
Besides, a lot of devs put far too much money into hyping their games and the advertisements associated with it, and you never get this kind of backlash, no matter how truly awful the game is.
That's another point - the game itself wasn't even bad, and actually exceeded all of my personal expectations.
When you raise something up on a pedestal as high as people have done with ME, or BioWare in general, not even BioWare themselves can hope to reach it no matter what they do.
These people need to get up out of bed and go outside and get a life.
This is not the worst game ending in gaming history by far.
Why Bioware is getting so much backlash is beyond me.
I think it is comepletely unfair and i stand by Bioware and the ending/s.I think Bioware should stick to their guns and leave the ending/s as they are
Surley their are more bad endings to complain and cry about...
M.NIGHT SHALAYMAN anyone?
Go cry and **** on his boards they are much worse endings in his stories.

I'm not entirely sure you can class Shyamalan movies as actually having endings.
