No it isn't.
Everyone claiming it is is either sad troll or a lying hack pandering to those trolls.

It's getting some MP content and we will sill see at least one more patch. But that's about it.

Well, assuredly it's not dead. It launched, so it's out there. Got patches, more MP content, and the free trial right now is logically a step to show off the better state it's in now and get more people playing before they announce DLC, so...
No.

I'm still hopeful for DLC and even for a sequel (and will buy either/both if they make them); but I'm also prepared for it to go either way. As I've said before, I already have a game in ME:A that I really enjoy playing and will probably continue to replay many times over. I've already told Bioware how I feel and I have nothing to lose by just patiently waiting at this point. |

The question is not whether MEA is dead. The question is whether any given man wishes to go to Valhalla.

Basically, it's Schrodinger's Franchise. Anyone saying it's dead is quoting unconfirmed sources with no additional evidence besides developer silence. Anyone saying it's flourishing and DLC and sequels are coming is speaking from a place of hope and, often, critical appraisal of facts. Either is equally true at the moment.

As you can see from the posts above, people have different opinions, the articles are speculation, and it's not BioWare's policy to comment until they release something (or don't) So you will need to wait or take your pick...  |

No. I feel like it could moreover be a strategy to get more players trying multiplayer - it's almost like a free-to-play mobile game strategy with microtransactions. |

They need to give it up and just make a remaster of the original trilogy.

Maybe, but then (like Evolve) they would probably just make MP free. I'm not sure if that would work seeing as it's paired with the game - but the game is cheap enough now where I don'r see it being a huge hurdle to hopefully snag new multiplayer players willing to shell out $20 for the base game. |

More than 900 million pounds in the UK alone went into microtransactions of any kind in the last year. As long as they can hype MP, they will earn a tidy sum. And if it doesn't pay off at anytime, they just need to pull the plug. |

I think multiplayer transactions could very well be a bigger cash cow than DLC. Of course they are. The Forbes article in the OP even implied that. Less effort to create MP maps and guaranteed revenue, since there's always a sufficient amount of people not wanting to grind for points. As long as there's an audience for MP it will rake in revenue. |

Currently you still have to buy the base game. |

Anyone saying it's flourishing and DLC and sequels are coming is speaking from a place of hope and, often, critical appraisal of facts. Either is equally true at the moment. One position takes into consideration the game's sales, official sources regarding the game, and THE FACT that the game is still being promoted and still being supported. The other is rooted entirely in hearsay and promoted solely by people who shamelessly pander to trolls who hurl abuse at the developers and fans. So no, don't try to pretend there's any sort of equivalency. One is based entirely off of common sense; the other is based solely off of a sociopathic selfishness and spite towards people enjoying something trolls don't. |

The base game's dead cheap by now and their new trial promotion is geared at raking in a new audience. As long as the game still sells at a reduced price, why should they not cash in? |
