Whatever the case, the post has a lot of interesting "behind the scenes" knowledge about what went down after the writers were removed from the equation. It's also hard to imagine that BioWare would have been pleased with the message, and so they may have forced Weekes to delete it. It's very likely, if the posting were from Weekes himself, that he might have simply regretted what he wrote and thus had it removed. So, was this a disgruntled BioWare writer, venting his frustration and clearing his name from a controversial issue, or was this the result of a clever hacker who used Weekes' account to stir the pot? That said, the things written don't sound like the rantings of some fake, but like the criticisms of someone with inside information - of course, that's up to opinion.

That doesn't mean someone couldn't have simply used his account to create the posting. However, according to Gameranx, their firsthand source verified that the post undoubtedly originated from Patrick Weekes' account. No one is getting banned or anything for posting this, but I want you to know it is not real. "So, I saw this and went and asked Patrick about it. On top of that, BioWare community coordinator Chris Priestly says he spoke to Weekes about the posting.
Naturally, that makes this difficult to confirm.

The author claims that Mass Effect 3's ending was written solely by Casey Hudson and lead writer Mac Walters. BioWare writer Patrick Weekes, who is known as user Takyris on the Penny Arcade forums, allegedly posted a message depicting in detail the writers' involvement with the game's ending. It appears as if Mass Effect 3's own writers didn't have anything to do with the game's controversial ending.
