I've heard the same rumor.
It makes sense in terms of how the ending seems like a departure from the game/series, and the part about doing it due to leaks could be feasible if far-fetched. It completely doesn't make sense to me, however, that a company would allow this much absolutely brutal online reaction. And I wonder how many people have returned the game at this point. I'm not sure whether a move like that would be a PR nightmare or a PR coup.
Either way I have very little problem with it if it's free. If EA charges the players money for this, to get the goddamn ending to the game, it would be one of the worst attempted money-grabs I can ever remember in gaming.
