But... they so obviously didn't offer an extra ending, it's literally just the "she goes to Avernus" ending, but with more detail... Calling this a different and new ending is disingenuous in itself.
As for biting the hand, I may be mistaken, but literally nobody bit any hand, all complaints are focused around the fact that the ending is thoroughly unsatisfying due to the fact that the story was quite obviously marred by rough and significant cuts made to its contents. If any complaint has been levied directly at Larian, it has been done so on the basis that they didn't deliver everything they advertised mere months before release, fact yet again made obvious by the very content which is missing. This not only affected Karlach, but as everyone has pointed out, it affected the story's sense of logic, pacing and fullness, especially visible within the last Act, with ramifications spanning back to the first two - I include here the thoroughly "meh" presentation of the remaining two Chosen who literally just show up, talk for a bit, and then get splattered (which goes against the very thing the story would want us to feel around them), Minthara's missing content, Upper City mansions being accessible through guard towers because the Upper City is missing in its entirety, which is just... ridiculous however you choose to look at it, and many, many other aspects. We're not here to ask Larian for a different story, we're here to ask Larian to finish the story they themselves presented as being within the final product.
