It belongs to EA; Mass Effect lacks the cultural significance required for it to be owned by fans in the same manner the collective owns the idea of Superman or Mickey Mouse alongside Warner Bros and Disney.

After 5 years and $40 million they give you a Mass Effect beta demo to prepare for Anthem. Sold at full price featuring never to be resolved cliffhangers. BioWare is over Pyjaks.

Open world isn't the problem. The method of implementing that open world is the problem. In my opinion, at least. Lots of ways they could have used to make the open world thing work, and feel really alive, that weren't done.

Re: Fan's fault. Ridiculous, as usual. If they can't figure out decent feedback from circle-jerking, they need to grow some sense and balls, fast.

Bioware does listen to the fans, their problem is that they overdo.

Which is why I specifically mentioned useful feedback, rather than trolls and flavor-of-the-hour folks.

Some people really overestimate what internet haters can actually do. It will be sales numbers and the microtransations money that will determine how sucessfull the series is for Bioware/EA, not some morons and their bogus accounts.

As it should be.

As far as who does ME belong to? Well Bioware of course, its their creation, their story. They can do whatever the hell they want with it. Doesn't mean players have to like it. All we can do is decide whether or not to fork money over for it.

well this new direction andromeda is going is clearly pandering to a new crowd... if that crowd forks out the money than goodbye to the type of ME people like you and I want.

My copy of ME games are mine. I bought them, I played them. That is all I need to seek out public forums and express my opinion on the game, and share my ideas on how it could have been better and what direction it should take. The ME IP belongs to EA just like original BSN did. And like the original BSN if EA takes it down we can find alternatives
