Kotaku - Sources: Mass Effect: Andromeda Will Not Get Single-Player DLC

Except he is the one who started it all. No one here insulted him, just questioned his article, since it is very similar to that whole Sinclair hoax from yesterday. If he can ´ t handle criticism, maybe he shouldn ´ t be a ´ reporter ´.

DAII was received a little better than Andromeda is. Besides, Andromeda may be mediocre in the scoring department but it's far from financial failure so I don't see why DLC wouldn't happen. Various games triple A or not with scores in the 70s get DLC all the time. The only reason Andromeda wouldn't get any is if EA is strict on spending if the game didn't get very far past the profit line, and I don't know sales so no comment on that.

Update: EA has provided GameSpot with a statement regarding the new report. It declined to share any new details regarding DLC plans, but it did confirm, "[W]e have never worked with Sinclair Networks and they had nothing to do with the development of Mass Effect: Andromeda." This disputes a claim made in a recent Facebook post, which alleged that a company named Sinclair was working on Andromeda DLC that EA had since canceled.

They were trying to reboot the Mass Effect series with Andromeda.  If they don't think the game got the traction they had hoped for, where they think another game would be worthwhile, they may just have said, we tried, it didn't catch on, let's just let the series go.

The game could have had huge preorder numbers, and then had the sales just fall off the table after the first week. Maybe their data says lower than the anticipated number of people finished the game or played it more than once.

Who knows what EA is looking at, or what their expectation were.  

One fire put out haha

I have to say that it looks to me like they are saying as much as they can but due to legal and business constraints they are limited and not able to actually say, 'Yes, DLC is coming.'

I wonder what it is like for them to watch this insanity? I wonder if they are all sitting back and asking themselves why there is this obsession with saying no more MEA anything will happen? I know I would be baffled entirely if I didn't know how crazy some of these haters were. To them it must be just so utterly bizarre.

I don ´ t have to make fun of him. He did that all by himself. I ´ m just pointing out that certain people are just too willing to believe unconfirmed bullshit over known facts. And other people, who like to boldly call themselves ´ journalists ´ , are more than ready to make cash from that unconfirmed bullshit.

If he is so sure about his claims, why is he creeping around this forum and using Twitter to insult people, who chose not to agree with him?

That would be hilarious.

I doubt it is the case again, but it is quite obvious he has history of not properly checking the quality of his sources.

I've said it earlier and I'll say it again. Games journalisms is the fakest news of them all.

Yeah, it's especially lazy. Know what I hate most about gaming journalism? They'll all go to E3, and all ask pretty much the same questions! When I watched the Total Warhammer streams, I kept hoping one of them would ask if Araby or Amazons are in the game, but no, they just asked the same as the 3 interviews before hand.

Gaming journalism sucks.

Just to regard the question about Dragon Age 2 and its DLC. It had Day 1 DLC which the internet universally dislikes and kept making comments along the lines that EA and BioWare carved it out of the main game to be DLC and a cash grab. The second DLC Legacy was released on July 26th about five months after the release of Dragon Age 2, but was announced around the 7th of July (I could only find a report on when BioWare announced it, so the date might be off there).

If you note that the DLC was about five months after the launch of the game, but they didn't officially announce anything until the month of release and since that time the official announcement has been getting close and closer to the release date. With Dragon Age: Inquisition BioWare announced a DLC and released it on the exact same day with Jaws of Hakkon.

Of course none of this proves that DLC will be coming for Andromeda, but I think it shows that BioWare does have a trend of being quiet about their DLC plans for their games and even with all the press about the future of the game and its DLC I highly doubt that would change their tactics especially if they are nervous something might change in development.

Edit: Fixed a date.
