"Mass Effect 3 director and executive producer Casey Hudson has defended the game&amp;#039;s ending following a high-profile fan petition to have it changed. The Retake Mass Effect fan campaign claims to have raised $28,000 (\u00A318,000) for the Child&amp;#039;s Play charity in a bid to convince developer BioWare to take its cause seriously.   &amp;quot;We would like to dispel the perception that we are angry or entitled,&amp;quot; reads the group&amp;#039;s mission statement. &amp;quot;We simply wish to express our hope that there could be a different direction for a series we have all grown to love.&amp;quot;  However, Hudson is standing by the original finale, claiming that the &amp;quot;polarising&amp;quot; conclusion is what makes the story memorable. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t want the game to be forgettable,&amp;quot; he told Digital Trends. &amp;quot;Even right down to the sort of polarising reaction that the ends have had with people - debating what the endings mean and what&amp;#039;s going to happen next, and what situation are the characters left in. &amp;quot;That to me is part of what&amp;#039;s exciting about this story. There has always been a little bit of mystery there and a little bit of interpretation, and it&amp;#039;s a story that people can talk about after the fact.&amp;quot;  The BioWare executive went on to say that additional single-player and multiplayer DLC will be introduced to Mass Effect 3 in the future, and fan feedback will be taken on board during its development. &amp;quot;We have some really great multiplayer content and some really great single-player content coming over the air and their feedback will become part of how we design that,&amp;quot; he added. Mass Effect 3 is available now for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3. &amp;gt; Read our review of &amp;#039;Mass Effect 3&amp;#039; &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Mass Effect 3&amp;#039; leads all-formats chart: biggest release of 2012 Watch the launch trailer for Mass Effect 3 below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
