So no DLC for Andromeda?

Haha you had me worried SofaJockey!

I think we'll get one or two SP dlcs, but they'll probably be trifling. I don't expect anything in the vicinity of Jaws of Hakkon and that bums me out. 

While this is more than likely true, it doesn't have any bearing on whether there would be DLC or not.

They have left enough people to support ME:A, which they are clearly still doing, so whether they decide to release DLC at this point seems a lot more like it would be a focused decision, and not the result of downsizing.

But hey, who knows?

For some reason I read that as "Qunari dlc" 

Indeed but they bounced back with DAI after DA2's mess I think as it is a solid game yes it got jumped on by the Witcher 3 later but I still feel DAI was deserving of the praise it got. So Boiware have shown they can rise to the challenge when they feel they have to. The problem Bioware are having I think is that they're not doing it consistently enough for some people. They seem to be on a trend where they have a really solid good game or a couple of good games followed by an iffy game kind of thing. My guess is that after ME3 and DAI being pretty good games which we re well received for the most part (ME3 endings aside of course). They were probably due for a bit of a stinker. Whilst DA2 suffered similar problems it kind of made up for that by having 2 very good DLC's in Mark of the Assasin and Legacy. I just hope MEA gets lucky enough to at least get a chance to redeem itself the same way. Because really it's likely the only way it can be saved now I think. I'm pleased that Biowaer are at least patching the technical problems or at least trying to. But to really save it they need to deliver some cracking DLC's that get peoples attention. Thankfully this is  something Bioware tend to be good at it seems so we'll just have to wait and see.

Seeing as there's a business plan at the foundations of every product, it entirely depends on the expected revenue vs development costs. I'm pretty sure there already was one DLC in development when the game shipped. That's business as usual with titles like that and this will probably be finished. Everything else is dependent on data we all aren't familar with.

Ehh.. Downsizing the development team says nothing about the upcoming DLC's.

Other studios do that as well. Remember that game called The Witcher 3? Well - after the game was launched, most of the people where already transferred to the development of Cyberpunk. Only a part of the crew was left to do the last two big expansions. And, strangely enough, those two expansions turned out to be even better than the original game. After those two expansions only a skeleton core crew was left to mob up the remaining bugs, and even that small core crew did a lot to improve the game even further.

And the reason for that is... If the game mechanics and core assets are developed and in a core pool, you do not need a full coding and content creator crew to make additional content. You only have to develop some extra game mechanics (core expansions) and some extra graphic content, to create a full add-on. Compared to the original game that would be no more than 10% to maximal 15% added stuff. It is not difficult to see you can do that with a considerable downsized team. Do not forget that all needed tools are already developed (tools to create game assets like graphics, animations and things like weapons and so on, take up a lot of development time). So the remaining team can concentrate on building and bug hunting.

So - Yes, it's not that strange to see an DLC upcoming (and probably more than one), because the cost and needed manpower to produce these are far lower than the original game development itself.

I'm American and I didn't understand what that was and it's all about being in a "clique" or in a small group of workers that will work together to keep each other's back covered. It plays into favoritism and outside of that circle you don't get much recognition or help. It's juvenile and unprofessional yet it flourishes in BioWare. HR didn't help these employees and in some cases were enforcing these cliques by not retaining these employees because the cliques have bigger say than HR. 

"Qunari DLC"? That should be interesting

Iron Bull in space now that would be interesting.

Something like this?

What? where is your proof?
