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

Bioware also have nothing to gain by announcing anything at this stage.  According to the negative side here, patching the game hasn't/shouldn't have any effect.  They remain staunchly  unimpressed.  So, obviously, even announcing DLC will not improve things in their eyes.  By their own claims, they are a "vast majority" (even though I don't think they are as much a majority as they think they are and are more than likely a minority).  Regardless, they've again put Bioware into a position of having nothing to gain by making any sort of announcement.  They're going through all these antics thinking they can pressure Bioware into an announcement on one hand while point-blank telling Bioware that doing anything won't impress them anyways. 

Since Bioware is in a 'no win" situation with them, the best move Bioware can make is to simply not play their game.  Bioware will act according to their own plans now regardless of what the internet thinks about it.  That plan is quite clearly right now to just not talk about whatever it is they are working on beyond telling us that they are indeed working on something.  All we can do is wait for them to reveal their surprise.

There is also nothing to be gained by believing this article and nothing to be lost by disbelieving it.  It's really just non-news that changes absolutely nothing.  Result is we still have to wait for an official announcement from Bioware either way.  It's written purely for the clicks... if you want to put money in Jason's pocket, click on it and read it.  If not, don't.  I suspect that actual news in the gaming industry is in short supply... So, like all their predecessors throughout history, they try to drum up business by publishing non-news.

They didn't just gut that studio, they outright shut it down. Developers who got lucky were re-assigned to other EA studios, while rest were laid off.

EA doesn't pussy-foot around with studio closure and IP suspension. They are very upfront about such things. And this did not change even with vastly different leadership of EA from previous decade and today. Business policies changed, but transparency remained the same.

BioWare will have their own financial year which might explain Jan-March release dates. Sony and Nintendo are Japanese so that might explain big early year releases like the Switch, Zelda and Horizon. American publishers usually dump their garbage between Jan-March.

Regardless, it's all pure speculation on your part.  It still comes down to the fact that the only concrete statement we have about ME:A from EA indicates that they were generally happy with it.

All of these games I mentioned are AAA titles games, with big budget for development and marketing.
They are, by every means, not minor releases.

Comparison is irrelevant, nobody ever claimed any BioWare's title is massive as EA Sports and DICE's titles.

Not really sure what to think as I can't see why he would put his reputation on the line by making a story up.

But I also think that canceling dlc would send a terrible message about their confidence in the Mass Effect franchise, and potentially be quite damaging to Bioware/EA. Nobody likes an unresolved cliffhanger, and customers could easily decide to pass future purchases if they don't trust the company to deliver on the big story threads. It might be different, but the first thing I do before embarking on watching a completed series on netflix etc, is to see if it was allowed to run its course, or was unceremoniously canceled with no resolution, if the latter, I usually don't bother.

The only reason for canceling dlc that makes any kind of sense to me is if the technical problems that they had encountered making the game in the first place would make the production of dlc prohibitively complicated, and possibly game breaking?

Common sense?!? Alex Jones?!? Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Thanks, I needed a laugh before I went to bed

You have nothing to victory dance about. Oh Hi Jason.

I realise gun control is a very sensitive issue in the US (I'm Australian, so don't really get all the fuss) so I don't want to start a political debate. However, even those who are against gun control would be hard pushed to label him as sensible. Jones is a total conspiracy theorist who believes that the moon landing was fake and that the Sandy Hook massacre was staged as part of a plot to introduce gun control.

If you don't know much about him then it's worth the effort to look him up and judge for yourself, even if it's just on Wikipedia.

Honestly, this is a pattern now.

One that I am pretty sure is going to be true, unfortunately.
