I've heard about it from one of my co workers that IGN is running with the story and I have seen it on youtube channels, IE 'The Know'. I don't know if those things are just reporting using the Kotaku article as the primary source. I would rather wait on Forbes because they actually do SOME journalism instead of just going off on speculation. Besides, Glassdoor has been quiet on Bioware. That would be the first place I would look to see if layoffs occurred. Yeah, I don't always agree with Forbes when it comes to their conclusions but generally speaking they do some really, really, solid work. Hell if Forbes released an article instead of Kotaku I'd be in full mourning right now lol.

Disappointed. Ryder wasn't perfect but he/she certainly had some potential. Really shame if they are quitting the field over the mixed reception of Andromeda. I wouldn't take the clucking hens on the forum seriously. There is no confirmation that ME, as a franchise, or ME is dead. Actually I am borderline quite looking forward to the anouncement of the next patch or the next DLC and have all these people going 'but wha...bu-bu-bu-bu...Kotaku said the ME franchise was put on ice.' Even if just put into deep freeze for a number of years that would kill Ryder as a protagonist and most probably Andromeda as a setting.

I agree in part. But in trying to make what the fanbase wants, we get something very risk adverse. I don't blame BioWare for trying to give what their fans want. I do blame them for implementation . But implementation is only part of the problem,the other is the fact that we, as the fanbase, are more often than not a catalyst in the reason for the derivitatve nature of the title because of the placating to our feedback. It's not even about whose in charge, they can take feedback. That feedback lead to Andromeda, after all. What fan wanted ME game to be outside of Milky way? If anything fans wanted Shepard back or at least the game to stay in Milky way. How is it our fault that they created idiotic endings that they had no idea how to use to create a new game, or that they lacked courage to chose a canon ending and run with it? Considering the reaction to the previous game, gauging fan feedback of what was missed and what they enjoyed, doubling down on all of that for the next installment in terms of tone, mechanics and even dialogue...and knowing damn well that a chosen canon ending will be met with more arrows and that giving them Shepard when their arc is over... That is kind of missing the point, because that was not in the cards to begin with. The entire game is the antithesis of mass effect 3 in almost every respect, and all of it is in response to the nuclear heat they got for that title here I'd wager. How is it not driven by us in its overall scope? The only risk taken was the galaxy itself...and most people shat on that when it was leaked anyway, so it's kind of a moot point.

How is it our fault that they created idiotic endings that they had no idea how to use to create a new game, or that they lacked courage to chose a canon ending and run with it? I didn't necessarily want it outside of the Milky Way but when they announced it was going outside the Milky Way I was excited as hell. Great decision to move the franchise to another galaxy. And I wanted the franchise to move on from Shepard. Shepard was cool, Shepard was awesome, Shepard was 'bad ass', but Shepard was also an incredibly weak character and even a weak role playing character when compared to....well most other Role Playing protags. Seriously? Four ways to say yes Ryder is a better character than Shepard? Paragon and renegade brought much more depth to a character than: Yes; Yes later, Maybe Yes and Yeah but tell me more. What sense does it make for it to be set in Milky way? 1% of Mass relays were explored, so much milky way remains unexplored, and yet they go to a whole new galaxy. And what do they do there? Build a mass relay to connect two galaxies? Of course not.

Andromeda's story should be continued with a different protag. Give us some real badAZZes this time. Every Andromeda sidekick was a sweetheart So you want someone who would slowly and menacingly walk towards the enemy while shouting at them in a deep voice stuff along the lines of "VALHALLA!", holding a weapon in each hand, before they manage to hold out againist impossible odds?

Only destroy allows liberty to create a new story and they should have went with it. Instead we get a lackluster game that failed and will be the death of the franchise for foreseable future

I really like Ryder so I'm hoping that she sticks around for the next game. I was hoping that the next game would be set a few years after MEA so we could see how the colonies & the AI had developed and Ryder could be more experienced. I don't want Mass Effect to turn into the Dragon Age franchise with a new protagonist every game.
That being said if they do move on from Ryder than she had better get a decent send off with her major plot points being tied off.

Its just Kotaku. Downsizing does not mean sht. Bioware could just be moving MEA back to the original branch which was apparently not downsized and remained fat with people and wait for the new IP to come out before tackling ME again.

Doubling down on what fans wanted but creating an anthithesis to previous ME titles. Gee, I wonder what went wrong. Andromeda was a cowards way out. A bunch of "HEY I'M SO GAY" and "HEY I'M SO TRANS" characters were more important to Bioware than the story. Simple as that.

As some might remember, certain people believed that the head animator was a cosplayer. It was only after this woman was sent death threats and other nonsense that BioWare made a comment.

Build a mass relay to connect two galaxies? Of course not. Since Ryder did not actually do that, and since you would know that if you played the game, I am going to ignore that...But yes, Ryder is a much better character then Shepard is. Shepard basically was the same character through three games, Ryder went on a journey of great change in one game, Ryder's roleplaying options were varied and nuanced and didn't punish the player for roleplaying in a certain way. Etc. It didn't make sense because the endings made any future content set in the MW a non starter. BioWare would have to make a canon ending and since they will not, and unlikely won't do that, then we will never see a game set in the MWG...good riddance. Number 2, telling a slightly more light hearted story of exploration set in any stage of the MWG within the ME universe would have been next to impossible given how horrible the MWG was as a setting. And also given the endings.

I like the Ryders, and I do hope that we'll see more of them. As flawed as this game was, there was good stuff too and there's plenty to build on - specially if they backtrack a little to make it more like the OT, and less like a singleplayer mmorpg (quest/world wise).

It's not even about whose in charge, they can take feedback. That feedback lead to Andromeda, after all. I don't think that it shows that they are trying to placate fans honestly, if anything it shows that they don't understand the criticism or how to implement it. The outcry in regards to ME:3's ending wasn't because people wanted a flat story with an uninspired ending, and if ME:A's design is the answer it just means that BW completely missed the point.
How many people complained about the fact that the Mako had a gun? How many people complained about the fact that ME had classes? How many people complained that handling more than 3 powers at one time is difficult? These are all examples for design decisions that had nothing to do with feedback from fans. All of them decisions that I personally disliked after seeing their implementation.
"Design by committee" is a problem. ME:A feels somewhat like that, which brings us back to matters of vision and more competent leadership. ME:A was simply all over the place in regards to quality, there were some interesting moments, some rough gems here and there, but overall it's still the first ME game I played once and have no desire to replay in the foreseeable future.
Well said.

Plenty of people didn't want them overwriting their own canons & accepted leaving milky way. What cannons were that? They didn't have to overwrite them at all. All endings except destroy disable the game continuing. If you chose syntesis then fine, you solved the issues for the rest of time. If you chose control then same, you have a permanent solution. Only destroy allows liberty to create a new story and they should have went with it. Instead we get a lackluster game that failed and will be the death of the franchise for foreseable future You could stories in any of the 3 main ending world states. The universe was a lot more than some inevitable synthetic-organic brat bs. Canonising destroy and canonising all the choices within that(quarians/geth/krogans etc) would be seen as overwriting everyones canons who didn't choose those options.

And now you lose all credibility of having a discussion with by focusing on something irrelevent. And factually wrong as well. He does have a point; 1. Hainly Abrams and Biowares apology concerning it. 2. Several NPCs with male body with female voice. 3. Sarah Ryder being altered away from base model in comparison to Scott Ryder. 4. Asari pronouns crap. Start at 5:12. It was a social propaganda checklist. Yeah, I know, a lot of people would stick their head into the sand until Bioware/EA came out with a definite statement from a rep that addressed it directly until people actually believed it, but the evidence is already there. They spent time and effort putting that in there. That could have been put to use elsewhere. You want some more evidence? Just wait for when Hainly Abrams starts talking about being trans again in Biowares attempt to represent that extreme minority in a future update.
