the ideal ending, and one they should have gone with. To borrow a line
from the Krogan Warlord in Mass Effect 2, "It has *weight*."

The trick to this is that the rumors about the leak, and the leak itself, are currently unsubstantiated as far as I know. DK's own blog has a post asking "what would you different in ME3's ending?" where he pretty much stated anything guessed about might-have-beens by "outsiders" was unsubstantiated speculation, citing Cerberus's ME1 characterization as a throwaway random enemy group as evidence of how the writing process changes as things move on in a collaborative project.

Overall, I'd be interested to see if someone with actual credentials has confirmed this, as it'd provide a very interesting look into the background processes of making ME3, but for the moment, to quote Wikipedia, "Citation Needed"
