Listening to this interview the thing that comes through most is that these guys are in serious denial or have no idea what the fans want.

I honestly think that this whole controversy was self-inflicted.
Had there not been MONTHS of crap like "You won't get an A, B or C ending" and then doing just that or the million times they said " Everything you do will have an impact on the ending you get" blah, blah, blah...
Now listening to them talk like this Extended Cut was something they just "wanted to do" is laughable at best.
Just my $0.02
From listening to what they said, I think they know what the "fans" want and the only audience they're giving this content to are people like me who thought the endings could use a little more explanation.
QFT! As long as its free I'll give it a chance to see if this DLC somehow improves ME3s abysmal ending.I for one am at least going to keep an open mind about this DLC. Unlike most who are already judging it before even seeing it.

Y'know I'm suddenly glad I didn't pick up ME3. And also glad I only picked up ME2 because Amazon had it for $20 when it was still normally 40 at most other places online.
Sounds like I'll be buying ME3 when it's 20 bucks again too. I just have to finish the storyline for myself now, no matter how horrible it is. But I refuse to pay 60 to do it.
The endings didn't need more explanation. They were clear enough. They just sucked balls.
That interview is something known as BS. The truth is: the game company put in a lot of effort in this series, but weren't willing to put in the effort needed to have different endings based on your decisions. The game company chose a depressing ending, regardless of what you did, because they wanted to be "cool". In some circles happy ending are uncool.
Because the customer are unhappy (e.g. less likely to buy future products from this game company), they have decided to come out with a little extra content to try to put positive spend in their negative ending.

I got about 4 minutes into this "video" and had to shut it off. These guys just pulled such a Lucas' on this series it makes me sad.
I dont care how mass effects end they can end it how ever the fuck they want they made the fucking game.
When you're charging $60 a pop, I think you have an obligation to make your customers happy.
This. Dan D has written some great pieces about it but what it comes down to is the problems were:
1) It totally broke from the style/story of the game.
2) Nothing you did mattered to the endings.
3) They made no fucking sense.
4) They offered no closure.
