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

Dumping DLC can be worth it if it's not far into development. It's also worth doing if the game itself didn't make much which again I don't know. EA likes money but they know when to drop things, they've done it to various franchises.

anthem won't take resources from anyone else cause it's a different studio entirely, blaming Anthem just makes people a hothead that isn't thinking correctly in the matter.. No one knows its budget yet, no one knows much about it besides the most experienced studio working on it and what was shown at E3. They didn't invest in multiple studios for nothing, the point is to have a studio for each franchise, so if DLC is dropped it's on the mass effect team and not Anthem. Same applies if people say Andromeda is bad because of Anthem. 

ME fans can get mad at Anthem all they want, but Anthem wasn't made for them in mind.

Like I said, who knows what EA is looking at.  If the reception was very bad, putting out another game without the weight of the OT driving pre-orders does put them at risk of the game actually not being profitable.  Especially if the gap between games is large. 

Look at Origin, new IP, put out in Nov, first DLC in Jan, Expansion in March, DLC is April. May and June, and then DA2 a year and a half later.  They put something out, it was successful and they kept striking while the iron was hot, they couldn't get content out fast enough.

That didn't happen here obviously.  They may have said they won't truly accept it if it isn't Shepard, who knows.

Only if you want him to. His articles will be spun by both sides to suit themselves whatever actually happens.

Journalism these days - with apologies to the Washington Post and New York Times which are doing actual journalism - is basically one person at one outlet writing a story, and then every other outlet rushing all over themselves to write stories based on that story with quotes from that story and no actual research or effort of their own.

And then when/if it falls apart, people can say "see, 17 news outlets got it wrong, the media is lying to you!" when, in actuality, it was just one outlet that got it wrong, and 16 that just jumped straight in to the circle jerk.

Journalism used to be ABOUT something. This... this is a traveshamockery.

Then at best, he can argue his mysterious sources were right. 

The main issue with this is that he hasn't actually said anything that would indicate he has any further insight into what is going on beyond anyone else. He hasn't published any exposes about what the cancelled DLC would have involved, or been able to name any names, or whatever. This is completely different to his article on Destiny, which was also fed by unnamed sources but also had sufficient detail to map out how the original campaign was supposed to play prior to the reset. There's literally no way he can prove he knew anything beyond saying he predicted the right binary result.

This is nuts, they at least were respectable. Now we live in a world where rumor is news.

That is, sadly, not so difficult to believe anymore.

damn straight. That Wooooo! is me bein' happy!

You're alright Novatrex!

You missed my point completely. Nevermind.

My sources are telling me that he's had some hand in the hoax. I'll let you know in 6 months, 'til then enjoy this news byte and buy my book.





/s - I'm not actually selling any books.

Some went to BF2.

Star Wars BFII and Anthem. However you don't need a full group to do DLC, only a fraction.
