They didn't have to, but BioWare has come through on their word to provide fans of the series more closure than their original endings.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Mass Effect 3 is remade, rebuilt, and remastered thanks to a huge Mass Effect mod which changes almost everything in the Bioware RPG, as we await Mass Effect 4
they sure did
Like they had a choice...
They don't care...they were in denial for almost a week when people started complaining tyring to cover it up like nothing was wrong..."you can't please everyone" BS
The fact that they still think we complained because we wanted closure prooves they don't have a clue why we were upset...lets not forget that they still havent admitted they messed up.
All the DLC added was a few new scenes and some trying to cover up the plotholes even though theys till don't make sense....hell they even created new plotholes. Oh and still didn't explain the Shepard breathing scene....if he was on the Citadel then why is London rubble still around him and why didn't people uncover him when they were rebuilding the Citadel. I mean the closure was basicaly stills of characters moving on after the war with a voice over from Hackett.
Bioware care for their fans as much as tobacco companies care for the well being of their consumers. It's big business.
They showed they care about their image. They showed they cared about PR. They showed they cared about their ego. If they cared about the fans, they would have listened. Putting out nearly 2 gigs of DLC to make up for a mistake (or pure laziness) is not caring about your fans.
Sure, they could have done nothing, and if they were really gung ho about this being about art and upset that fans had the audacity to expect more and better and a much different ending, they should have.
Unfortunately, this is just an investment for them. They plan on making more products in the future and now this is a chance to have something to point at and say "see, we care, look at what we did for you." They didn't learn anything.
It's their product, they have the right to sink or swim with it, and they tried to float. I would have way more respect if they went down with the ship and stuck to their guns or rolled with the tide of change.
As it stands... yes, things make more sense. No, I still do not like it. And yes, this all should have been in the game to begin with.
If bioware cared so much. then we shouldn't have come to this point when fans had to go to extremes just to get you guy to get off your ass and put outa DLC ending that should have been done the first time around.
this is just bioware trying to save face cause they knew they messed up badly and hope that it puts them and EA in a better light then they have been recieving as of late. but for must people it's a case of "too little,to late" people have moved on to other games.
