Request for comment: Which way did you go when you reached the controversial ending of Mass Effect 3?

In the final moments of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, players faced a decision that determined the outcome of the game. They selected a button to trigger one of several endings, each with its own unique consequences. This approach to ending the game was met with criticism, and it was surprising that just six months later, Mass Effect 3 presented players with a similarly straightforward ending choice.

The trilogy of decisions had ultimately come down to a simple button press, which left many players feeling unsatisfied. Despite the addition of an extended cut DLC that provided more depth to the endings and a fourth option to refuse the choices altogether, the issue remained a sore point for many fans. After a decade since Mass Effect 3's release, it's time to reflect on the game and discuss the choices players made and the satisfaction they derived from their decisions.

I have played through the trilogy three times, experiencing each ending, but I am curious to know which button you pressed or if you chose not to choose at all, and whether you felt content with the conclusion you ended up with.
