With the way it ended, you couldn't possibly make sequels without some major retconning. A prequel, I'll give you, but a sequel is out of the question.

Regradless of what the fans think or influence, it's seemed pretty clear they wanted Mass Effect to end.

Agreed. They kept saying it was the end of Shepherd's story. That seemed pretty clear that any subsequent games would only appear within the universe and not be Mass Effect 4.

With as bad as the ending was, I don't see where they could take it unless it was more of a survival scenario after the game ends.

That said, a game set during First Contact would be awesome.

I'd love a First Contact War game. Or movie. Honestly, one of the two would be great.

Not just Shepard's story, though. With the Mass Relays destroyed, I don't see how they'd manage another game, not without it being hugely different and basically another universe altogether.

That's not true at all--they would only need to canonize one particular ending (probably the blue one) and go from there.

And I disagree. They've been quite clear they want to keep going with the ME universe.

Actually, it's pretty true. Without the Mass Relays, which get destroyed in all the endings, it's near impossible to have a Mass Effect universe. They are what made successful cluster to cluster FTL possible. I would like to note, I am aware that FTL travel exists outside the Mass Relays. However, they are limited due to the Static build up and make traveling FTL to other clusters impossible.
Without that FTL travel, everyone is marooned in their own system or the system they were in during the blast.
That's if they hand-wave the blast not having the energy of a super-nova, in which case they just fried every system with a mass relay. Mass Effect does try to keep its science hard, especially dealing with its own universe. With those major issues about the ending, it's going to be a hard sell to continue from there.

Now to be a dick on your other point: The same people who said that are the same people who said there will also be "16 different possible endings." It's highly possible they could have been lying given their track record. Or they changed their minds. Or they didn't realize the implications that their ending gave them.
