Bioware Director Casey Hudson has responded to enraged fans that have criticised the game\'s endings and day-one DLC. In an interview with Digital Trends, Hudson said, \"I didn\'t want the game to be forgettable, and even right down to the sort of polarizing reaction that the ends have had with people–debating what the endings mean and what\'s going to happen next, and what situation are the characters left in. \"That to me is part of what\'s exciting about this story. There has always been a little bit of mystery there and a little bit of interpretation, and it\'s a story that people can talk about after the fact.\" Particularly aggrieved fans have launched a campaign to get the Mass Effect 3 ending changed. There is even a Retake Mass Effect movement which is raising funds for the Child\'s Play Charity, in the hope of being taken seriously by Bioware. So far they have raised over $29,000. Their mission statement reads \"We would like to dispel the perception that we are angry or entitled. We simply wish to express our hope that there could be a different direction for a series we have all grown to love.\" When asked if Bioware listen to feedback, Hudson said, \"We pay very close attention to it. It\'s very important to us and we will always listen to feedback, interpret it and try and do the right thing by our fans.\" Hudson went on to promise fans single-player DLC, and that fan feedback will shape its content: \"We have some really great multiplayer content and some really great single-player content coming over the air, (fan) feedback will become part of how we design that.\" Regarding the From Ashes DLC, Hudson thinks fans are starting to see \"common sense\". \"Initially, it was spun in a direction that suggested that we had taken the lore out of Mass Effect 3,\" he said. \"Now the people who actually have played Mass Effect 3 and the DLC they know that that\'s not true.\"
