That game you liked had a disappointing ending. A lot of narratives turn out that way.
Quit pitching a big hissy fit over the whole thing. It had a bad ending, get over it.
It's not about ending being bad. Stop being a closed-minded ignorant who read about the whole thing in one panel of Penny Arcade and thinks we are angry because bad things happen.
It's about lies from developers, inconsistencies, plotholes, breaking the lore and characters to accommodate a last-minute ending.
Lots of series have had sad endings. Persona 3 made me feel sad for few days after it ended, but in a good way.
Mass Effect 3 made me feel like a fucking sucker who got tricked into "16 different endings, your choices matter, there won't be ABC endings you just pick at the end!" and paid $60 for incomplete, rushed or underdeveloped product.

Because I don't think gamers need a higher sense of entitlement. When I saw the thread "What should we retake next?" show up I wanted to kill something. I'm not too happy about the ending, but god damn it didn't invalid the other 130 hours I spent on that Shepard over all three games, and that's not counting my other files. Also as mentioned "Retake" makes it sound as if it was ours. No, we didn't make it, it isn't ours. The cupcake thing? Pure childish. The only good came out of the donation, which apparently some idiots believed was toward changing the ending instead of charity. That says a lot.
Would an expanded ending be welcome? Yes, preferably along the lines of the indoctrination theory.
Do we need to give gamers the idea that they are allowed to change whatever they don't like? Hell. No.
I know, right, next thing you know, they'll be changing BOOKS!
What's that, Sherlock? You... died? And fans made Conan Doyle change the story? Oh, right, forgot.
Shut up.
