Yes, the Mass Effect 3 ending could have been better. And yes, many of us were hoping for something more. But regardless of this, gamers with their delicate sensitivity and fickle ways have crossed a line with their absurdly vocal grievances. In response to fans, BioWare Co-Founder Ray Muzyka wrote on the company’s official website stating, "I believe passionately that games are an art form, and that the power of our medium flows from our audience, who are deeply involved in how...
