This post jostled my memory a bit and now I remember. It was actually so fucking bad. I remember people desperately coming up with the indoctrination theory and spending more time on that than BioWare did on the actual ending. Like, people using the horrible inconsistencies and pure nonsense to conclude it couldn't possibly be real and must have been an indoctrination illusion. And then BioWare shutting it down. You had to be there to see it, it was so unbelievably bad. I've seen some theories saying the ME3 ending disaster was a prelude to GamerGate, because BioWare were obviously paying outlets to do damage control. And the fact that to this day threads about this have so much replies is a testament to the scale of this shitstorm.
