One thing Bioware have made clear is that the story of Andromeda WILL continue to be told.

Even if any further development to the SP is effectlvely dead from today, Bioware did not tell  us that the stories of Andromeda were cut short or executed on a kiling floor.

I'm dissapointed none of these story additions will be in our SP, but I'm also glad that these additions EXIST in some shape or form. The story hasn't stopped nor is it dead.

I think more than anything a true loss would have been the discontinuing of ANY further story. Yes, the Andromeda canon has been pretty much relegated to APEX missions and novels and comics now, but those things  still  tell us ME:A is not infact dead or that Bioware/EA have completely given  up every sembelence of any acknowledgement of the game's existence. That the galaxy  and the aliens  and the lore they crafted wasn't thrown in the bath water. There was no abandonment. I think that would have been incredibly worse. This official update by no means  has any indication of  EA/Bioware putting the ME series out back and putting it out of its misery. 

It means there's still something to look forward no matter how it may minimal  it may seem and it means this board won't be a future ghost town.



(And rereading the update post over and over, I'm led to believe BioWare NEVER intended for any SP DLC)
