Uh oh.... (Mass Effect)

[s3yang]

y'know, I half think the ending is Bioware's answer to EA pushing them on a too early release.
A sort of "See? this is what happens when you make us release too early?".
Seriously, the ending seems almost _designed_ to enrage the players.

Wow... that's a thought I had not too long ago this morning. But I dismissed it as too calculating and prone to backfiring. I think simple arrogant blindness and/or one or two writers rushing the ending without consulting the rest of the staff because they've got to get this thing out the door by the deadline is more likely. 

Hanlon's razor:  "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Maybe, but I've found that in life, stupidity is sometimes obfuscated malice.
In fact, I think you'll find that the primordial internet troll is more or less based on that concept.
