Kotaku reporter has some extra bad news

I'm Commander Shepard and I was rescued (off-screen) by Warlord Wrex of Clan Urdnot,  Admiral Tali'Zorah vas Rannoch, Ambassador Garrus Valkariun and my last love interest (why did I wait so long to embrace alien booty?) Liara T'Soni, the Shadow Broker. My story is done. Do I want it re-mastered to include a true pick-your-path adventure like it was promised in the beginning? You damn right. Do I want them to make it now? Hell no. Too much lore to explore in Andromeda and I'm ready to explore Tevinter yesterday. So, yeah. 

No, it never used to be that way, and legislation made provisions for that. Protecting your sources is written in almost every law there is, when it comes to freedom of the press. I guess, you don't even know, that handwritten notes by a journalist count as evidence of the spoken word at court. Unless prove wrong, of course, in which case it would be perjury.

Not, the article accounts for business as usual for everyone having worked in journalism. Even to an intern. To get a story, you don't name names. Noone spills the sensible beans if they are named, since sources aren't protected by press laws. They will be subject to the consequences and will pay the price. Probably with everything they ever worked for. Apart from not getting any other job in the business, since nobody trusts a snitch.

It comes across that he definitely wants us to buy his book, referring to Inquisition's developments cycle and how all the details are in his book.

That's what it seems like on reading the report and the follow up interview in which he clarifies his points. He's gotta keep the hype train going for another few months, though. The book is 4 months away and who will remember him by then? So I'm just dying to preorder and wait all those months to find out the real truth

Right, this isn't an academic paper. If modern journalists were all expected to name their sources, no one would ever talk to them.

Regardless, unless the public can verify what's being told to them, it's perfectly natural to be skeptical of anything told to them based on anonymous sources. There's really no getting around this fact.

Haters want to see something that they hate fail. That is their reward. They gloat about it. If no other MEA game came and no MEA dlc came they would love it. They would feel they were right  in their hatred and that they got what they wanted. And  they would not care that anyone who liked the game didn't get a game that they want.

The logic behind this kind of hate is that what is hated should not exist. Rather than simply moving on and finding things to like, the hater generally feels the need to see the thing they hate destroyed. Even if millions or billions of others loved it. They would not care that all those people would not get more pleasure from something they love or enjoy. They would just be happy that the thing they hate doesn't exist anymore. Even if their hate were totally irrational they would not care. As long  as their want is met, they don't care.

When you look at the haters in this forum, look at how they argue. Among them there is a resounding battlecry fro the death of MEA, ME, even BW at times. Yet they see that people here love the game or love BW. Instead of taking the mindset that they don't like it so they won't bother with it and move on, they just sit here and stew in their hate. And  as  soon as  some new comes along that hints that MEA might be done they find pleasure in it to the point of not even caring that many people don't  want to see that. They have zero respect for the fact that other people find joy in it. That's pretty horrible when you think about it. MEA games aren't actually hurting them. It's not like MEA raped, beat or killed someone they love or even them. But they treat it as if it's a terrible threat that must be destroyed. We have those people right here in this forum. Dare I say that this sort of behavior seems a bit mentally unbalanced.

so if we believe this,so that is "end of the world".
so why not just close this forum ?

there are many game outside not just MEA

He should write whatever he wants but he is pimping this story for his book. When  I read  the comments for that article it was all about his book that people were going to buy his book and him talking to them about it. He used this article to drum up business for his book by saying (at the time which he could have edited by now) that there were stories like this in his book. The whole article was essentially an advertisement for his book. Thus, my point is be honest  about what you are doing and why. His motivation was quite clear at the time. 'Buy my book. Here's a kind of teaser to what my book is like.' That is not 'crazy pants logic' - it's being fed the fuck up with people and their agendas acting like they care about things they don't and  are only self serving in reality. His whole reddit post is basically a saving face, saving his name post.

So yeah, fuck this guy. Maybe he wasn't the one who originally wrote the 'end of MEA' article. I don't know because I didn't check. But he is one that is capitalizing off implying BW has problems, MEA might be dead, blah, blah, blah which is upsetting to many people in case you have not  seen the hundreds of comments from people who want more MEA and  MEA DLC. Now he is doing some nifty dancing around in his little reddit post. He's giving himself an out by saying he is not saying there won't be very clearly which my guess is because he knows there will be. Meanwhile, his behavior is not unlike one of those tabloid journals that knows a story will generate sales so they run with it, twisting facts along the way to look however might be most compelling. And with that I once again say fuck this guy.

The numbers aren't that bad considering how the forums for BioWare games have worked in the past.  I saw the polls after Mass Effect 3 they were a lot more negative towards the game then these ones are to Andromeda.  I wish I could find them.  Now I would include an additional 22% to your value summary because people thinking it is of average value is important as well, for I don't consider that a negative thought toward the price such as Bad or Terrible value.

i just hope bioware gives us a city this time like novigrad or kirkwall. And I'll probably go with my usual archer rogue. Unless DA goes classless like ME.
