Weekend Confirmed 105 - Journey, Mists of Pandaria, Mass Effect 3
by Garnett Lee, Mar 23, 2012 11:00am PDTAfter a long look at Mass Effect 3 last week, Jeff, Jeff, Andrea, and Garnett turn their attentions to Journey, the upcoming Mists of Pandaria expansion for World of Warcraft, and other games. However, they cannot ignore the interesting turn the controversy over the ending of Mass Effect 3 took with BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka directly addressing fans to promise them "clarity" and "closure" through new content the team will create. We also catch up on the announcement of an Epic Mickey sequel along the way to wrapping up with Finishing Moves.

Comments
There are multiple threads on their boards right now that have listed dozens of quotes made by Casey Hudson and other development staff throughout the last year that promise not to leave questions unanswered, force people into an ending they don't want, or limit their choices to A, B, and C.
They did ALL of that. They set their fanbase up for disappointment from the very beginning, and are now surprised that they are disappointed.
It's not people being angry that they didn't get the ending they wanted. It's people being angry that they didn't get the ending they were promised.

I'm pretty agog at how vehemently the podcast crew are in defending Biowares 'artistic integrity' and hysterically ad homming the fan base as if Bioware could do no wrong (not everyone is demanding refunds), when they've effectively lied through their teeth at every opportunity about how the series would conclude.
I think it's all very well to defend 'artistic integrity' in principle, but in this particular case Bioware have clearly been caught with their hand in the cookie jar with respect to delivering on what they've been selling fans through, previews, interviews and newsletters. Instead of defending Bioware to the nines Shacknews should be calling them on it.
