Mass Effect 3 Ending: Casey Hudson kinda lied.

If you find yourself arguing with anyone about the ME3 ending, and whether or not 'Bioware lied', you may find this article to be helpful. Specifically, this quote:

This story arc is coming to an end with this game. That means the endings can be a lot more different. At this point we're taking into account so many decisions that you've made as a player and reflecting a lot of that stuff. It's not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C.

Yeah...about that...



In his defense, it's not "ending A, B, or C". It's "ending A, B, C, D, E, or F."

Take that, traditional game endings.

He didn't kinda lie. He LIED.

The ending are what they are, for good or for bad, no big deal.

The lie, on the other hand, is a big deal.

That text you are mentioning is from Phil Kollar's interview with Casey Hudson. Here is the full question and response:
Question:
With the ending in Mass Effect 2, there were so many different variables and possibilities for the outcome and what could happen. As players reached the end, they started comparing notes and trying to figure out how it worked. A few months after it came out, we ran a chart in the magazine that showed the layout of how to get the different endings and how things happened. Is that same type of complexity built into the ending of Mass Effect 3?

Answer:
Yeah, and I’d say much more so, because we have the ability to build the endings out in a way that we don’t have to worry about eventually tying them back together somewhere. This story arc is coming to an end with this game. That means the endings can be a lot more different. At this point we’re taking into account so many decisions that you’ve made as a player and reflecting a lot of that stuff. It’s not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C.

It’s more like there are some really obvious things that are different and then lots and lots of smaller things, lots of things about who lives and who dies, civilizations that rose and fell, all the way down to individual characters. That becomes the state of where you left your galaxy. The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in them. It would be interesting to see if somebody could put together a chart for that. Even with Mass Effect 2’s...



He makes a direct comparison on the endings of Mass Effect 2 to the endings of Mass Effect 3. Not even some kind of fabricated "Mass Effect 3 is the ending", comparison.

He lied, plain and simple.
