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 "absurdly entitled", but suggested that this was a result of the high price of the medium.

"Gamers are absurdly entitled," responded the developer to a question about the Mass Effect 3 ending. "But I think they got there because we ask so much money from them every step of the way.

"No-one'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's like to pay $60 for a piece of entertainment.

"We're worried about the precedent that BioWare set here. Will it fan the flames on future titles? No-one knows for sure."

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 "straight-up evil too".

"A lot of the bile comes from a place of ignorance, lack of understanding, etc. It's one of the reasons I wanted to jump on here today," they said. "But we can be straight-up evil too. Depends on the situation."

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.
