"Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut set a worrying precedent, an anonymous game developer has suggested. Responding to questions on Kotaku, an insider from a large video game publisher said that gamers are &amp;quot;absurdly entitled&amp;quot;, but suggested that this was a result of the high price of the medium.   &amp;quot;Gamers are absurdly entitled,&amp;quot; responded the developer to a question about the Mass Effect 3 ending. &amp;quot;But I think they got there because we ask so much money from them every step of the way.  &amp;quot;No-one&amp;#039;s demanding reshoots for the final Matrix, because it only cost you 10 bucks to see it. Sometimes I think we in the industry lose sight of what it&amp;#039;s like to pay $60 for a piece of entertainment. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re worried about the precedent that BioWare set here. Will it fan the flames on future titles? No-one knows for sure.&amp;quot; The insider also admitted to killing off many new IPs, suggesting that publisher criticism stemmed from ignorance, but said that video game companies could be &amp;quot;straight-up evil too&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;A lot of the bile comes from a place of ignorance, lack of understanding, etc. It&amp;#039;s one of the reasons I wanted to jump on here today,&amp;quot; they said. &amp;quot;But we can be straight-up evil too. Depends on the situation.&amp;quot;  The original Mass Effect 3 ending was heavily criticised by fans, who immediately campaigned to have it changed. Some users even filed complaints against publisher Electronic Arts for false advertising.  BioWare released a revised conclusion last month, which is available as a free download on all platforms. Despite the controversy, Mass Effect 3 shipped 3.5 million copies worldwide during its first week on sale, making it the biggest entertainment launch of the year, according to publisher Electronic Arts. Mass Effect 3 is available on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. A Wii U version was also confirmed during E3, which will include all existing DLC. &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s review of &amp;#039;Mass Effect 3&amp;#039; Watch the Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut interview trailer below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
