I thought the ending was brilliant! What is the 1st thing you think of when you hear the word, "Sheppard"??? Duh . . Everything I hoped for in that regard. This is a NON-ISSUE to me. The developers have that right in my opinion to write their stories however they want. HOWEVER. . . The ending, whether liked or not, is NOT THE TOPIC THAT IS IMPORTANT! The REAL ISSUE -Ripping off the fans! "People get it now"?! WTH kind of condescending crap is that?! Yeah we got it alright. . . right up the @$$! Shame on BIOWHORE. . . Sold your souls to EA(Evil Ampire)! My @$$ is sore. . . to the point of never walking the same again. . . at least on the way to the gamer's market!!!
