In the ongoing saga of BioWare<\/a> versus internet rage, Mass Effect 3 director Casey Hudson<\/a> has posted a statement over on the company’s forums, addressing criticisms and complaints about the game’s controversial finish, and reassuring people that everything is going to be okay.<\/p>\n

“We always intended that the scale of the conflict and the underlying theme of sacrifice would lead to a bitter-sweet ending – to do otherwise would betray the agonizing decisions Shepard had to make along the way. Still, we wanted to give players the chance to experience an inspiring and uplifting ending; in a story where you face a hopeless struggle for basic survival, we see the final moments and imagery as offering victory and hope in the context of sacrifice and reflection,” he said.<\/p>\n

“But we also recognize that some of our most passionate fans needed more closure, more answers, and more time to say goodbye to their stories – and these comments are equally valid. Player feedback such as this has always been an essential ingredient in the development of the series.”<\/p>\n

Adding that the development of the series has always been “a shared experience between the development team and our fans”, Hudson explained that BioWare would continue to support Mass Effect 3 with more content releases.<\/p>\n

“And we\u2019ll keep listening, because your insights and constructive feedback will help determine what that content should be,” he said. “This is not the last you\u2019ll hear of Commander Shepard.”<\/p>\n

Last week, there were rumours that BioWare would be launching a DLC<\/a> add-on in April called “The Truth”, which would be the “real ending”. BioWare has neither confirmed nor denied the rumour, although it sounds a bit too good to be true. Maybe “good” isn’t the right word. Maybe “trollish” is.<\/p>\n
