Hardcore Gamer - Multiple Endings a Good Thing?

Alex Carlson of Hardcore Gamer posted a new editorial article where he talks about Multiple Endings in games, and asks if they are a good thing. So what do you all think?

So are multiple endings a good or bad thing? That’s a tough call. Sure, you can get a greater power of choice or be pushed to improve your skills, but you can also spend hours getting an alternate ending that might not be worth the effort (or in extreme cases, be meaningless). Using multiple endings can be very risky for developers; the endings need to be worth the extra effort for people to actually care about them. They can’t be in a game just for the sake of being there; no one would play them otherwise.
