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

Still sounds like the SN guys found a scapegoat.

Because he's hedged his statements, it doesn't even really rate as decent "fake news."  It boils down to a whole bunch of words dressed up to get clicks that basically still says... We're still waiting on an announcement from Bioware.

Well, duh, Jason... we all knew that already.

He will say that after the announcment he just went back to his sources and apparently, they at first had no intention of making dlc but after some talks they decided to do it.


Of course all of this would have happened AFTER he made his article, AFTER his sources claimed there would be no MEA dlc, so of course our friend jason could not be wrong in this cases. Because his anonymous sources could claim anything he wants and nobody from Bioware could say he is wrong, mark darrah already said why.

Which one of these article you can't see now?

That's typical for many people, when they are unhappy about something you also better be as angry, sad or unhappy as they are. The joy and pleasure of other makes them angry.

You forgot to like your own comment!

AS someone who tried MEA for 8 hours, shrugged and stopped, but has tenuous plans to give it a shot again when it's not full price....

this supposed "click bait" article makes me uninclined to even bother then.

I had kinda hoped that complaints about MEA would make MEA2 go back to MET formula. And I don't say this as a major MET fan- I tried and gave up ME1, played ME2 and ME3 exactly once early just this year, and found ME3 to be the best of the three.

Is it now just a confirmed dramatic rumor?

Ultimately time will tell. For me, none of this shakes my certainty that DLC will come. Mostly I cannot fathom how people would even believe it would not being that from a business sense it makes zero sense to not make it unless you have some kind of disaster that literally keeps you from doing so or you are so broke that you cannot afford it or the game just didn't even come anywhere close to making sales enough to do anything other than convince you it was basically DOA. None of those reasons hold true here.

People can doubt it all they want. They can disbelieve it all they want. They can spread rumors against it all they want. But none of that matters. The DLC will come and when it does, this debate will be done. Hopefully though all the people like Jason will lose lots of credibility when it happens. In some cases they already have.

Nobody asked for my opinion, but this is the internet so I'll share it anyway. I never really had high hopes for fan reaction to Andromeda, and that's based solely on the fact that people were still hating on ME3 on the old forums. I've never seen a group of people feel personally victimized by a video game before, but those people somehow managed it. I can't remember the guy's name who was doing a blog replay of the trilogy and finding ways to bash Bioware for every single aspect of everything that happened, but that guy had a following and if that guy was mocking Andromeda then a lot of people saw it, and he's not the only one.

If Andromeda had been released in the state it's in right now, then yeah, there wouldn't have been much to mock, but that was then. If Andromeda had had an 8 score on Metacritic I think that would have been considered a success, and that's no matter how good the game actually was and is.

All that to say that the leftover fan reaction to ME3 created plenty of ill will towards Bioware, and the internet was going to jump on anything, no matter how small. (I say "the internet" because I'm not even sure how many people who claim to hate the game have actually played it.)

And I'll also say that while I think the 10-hour trial hurt the game, it actually convinced me to buy it. I wasn't sure what I was getting into so I was happy to see the trial period, and I like the setting, the characters, the whole SAM thing was intriguing, and I wanted to play more. I took a day off work to play it, and I was in a happy bubble for 10 hours and then went to a forum and was like, "oh". I didn't notice the facial animations, and I didn't care that the transition to planets supposedly took a long time. I mean, I still haven't skipped because I think it's pretty. So that sucked, because I wanted to share my enjoyment with other players, but I couldn't do that, and it got to the point where I wasn't allowed to do that. 

So yeah, all that to say that I never expected a strong, positive fan reaction to Andromeda, but I'm happy with the product, I'm still playing it, and hoping for a DLC.

But dragon age inquisition dlc release five months after the original game, because jaws of hakon was more ambitious bigger than leviathan, so if the content they are making right now is big, its gona take more time than 3 months, actually ME 2 dlc were quite small so it was quicker to do.

Well, you at least got your book release date. So yea for that at least.
