Program a game badly, get bad reviews, get less sales than expected. Fail to patch its flaws, slash price of game, still fail to sell as many copies as expected. I think Bioware just hit rock bottom.
I had high hopes for patch 1.06 - was expecting an improved character creator but above all else, the game needed to not stutter. Yeah... those bugs are still present even after the patch. I haven't even checked to see if the game still randomly crashes yet so it may be worse than i thought.

I bought ME1 for $4.99 at a Air Force BX bargain bin. It was maybe 5 months before ME2 came out. Wasn't even aware it had ever come out for PC, but remembered reading about it for XB. And that was a great game.
I probably won't buy MEA for anything less. I'd need a version with all the patches already on the disk. I'm not buying a game that requires tons of downloads just to be "meh". I'll only pay for the complete game.

I'm doubting that I'll ever buy this game, even much later at a deep discount.

Odd, if every game going on sale about six weeks after release indicates something bad, I guess all the games released so far this year have been bad. I have seen Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier on sale for at least 25% off.

Counter point though. Many other developers had games that didn't quite meet expectations and there fans aren't demanding the developer be ground zero of a bomb drop. |

Now it's back to full price on all copies, physical and digital at gamestop, bestbuy, walmart, etc...only place with a sale is amazon on physical copies and origin on digital.
Sales of the game can't be too bad...

I have seen Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier on sale for at least 25% off. Prey, a highly-acclaimed and highly-anticipated game, was on sale before it launched, as well as currently in some places! Must mean it's terrible. I looked forward to playing it, but I guess I won't now due to its obvious terribleness. |

Sales of the game can't be too bad... All indications point to them reaching their "3 million copies sold in the first week" target, so I think it is selling just fine. If they sold 3 million at $60 each, that's $180 million, so I think with a supposed $40 million budget, plus other things like advertising (probably another $40 million) still put the profit pretty high for the game. Add DLC income when that comes out, as well as microtransactions in multiplayer and deluxe and super-deluxe editions, and I think EA should be pretty happy with game sales. |

I have seen Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier on sale for at least 25% off. This is actually becoming an industry trend. A lot of games (even Triple A titles) are starting to get 20%-30% price cuts just a few weeks after release. Have read that this could be a publisher attempting to pad shipped/sold numbers for the game before the fiscal Quarter is up. |

Didn't take very long for the game to become discounted. I remember Dragon Age Inqusition being $60 for awhile before it went discounted.

Many other developers had games that didn't quite meet expectations and there fans aren't demanding the developer be ground zero of a bomb drop. I'm in my early 40's and I've been gaming since I was 6 yrs old. Mass Effect is my favorite franchise and work of fiction. Period. I don't want BioWare to crumble. But I can see where and why they failed. It's all on them. |

I swear Bioware has the only fan base that will only be happy with there total failure and destruction. What is this? I've been a fan of theirs for 20 years. I've seen them when they've done great work and I've been a loyal customer. I've bought every game of theirs for full price; even the f**king shitty ones like DAII. didn't know at the time. I bought it on faith and I regretted it. But I've come back every time. All that said, if Bioware is a business and I'm a customer. I spent good money; I have expectations. Those expectations are not met, i'm going to complain. In this case, lots of people are complaining. Bioware made the decisions that brought them to this place; now they are going to have to deal with the consequences. I will truly regret if they end up going under at some point but I will not be surprised. A lot of you guys are acting like Bioware is your best friend; they are not. They are a business. They are interested in making money. It used to be they told great stories in order to get your money; now, not so much. It's gotten cheap; they're cutting corners. And people are seeing it and that's how you end up with what is going on now. Being disappointed in a product and expressing it isn't hating; it's criticism. I've done it with cars and I do it with games. If anybody is injecting too much emotion into this, it's white knight super fans that act like Bioware is a family member. |
