But films have never been released and after the first weekend there is an uproar and people demanding a different ending.

Not every story needs an upbeat jolly result. Seven Samurai for an example.
It was a happy ending for the peasants but not for the samurai (both living and not living).

Ask any decent director and he'll admit a bad ending can make people forget how good the rest of the film was, no matter how good. Another notorious one is Blade Runner's "happy ending."

I'm going to weigh in here and say that Bioware does have a history of bad endings. Anyone here play Neverwinter Nights 2? That ending makes the ME 3 ending seem like Oscar material. They released an expansion Mask of the Betrayed which satisfied customers much better. I can't see BW killing the ME franchise and the endings provided pretty much do that, so I can see an expansion coming.
One day the West will fall. But if the Liberty for which we fight is taken up by the world then the West will not have failed.

KOTOR 1 had a great ending.
Obsidian's KOTOR 2 had a horrible one, although that was reportedly due to rushing by the publisher.
