www.neowin.net/news/sources-confirm-all-future-mass-effect-andromeda-dlc-is-indeed-cancelledNever got into the game but I find it disgusting how games with EA on it we so easily pushed aside .... Battlefront bring a great example, people wanted a single player campaign, have spent 150 bucks for the season pass which allows only four expansions, then ea says ya ok, we will make a new game re hash it and give you what you want then charge full price again, screw you people with season passes in fact they aren't season passes they are passes for four expansions, and only four you get nothing else ... Now because mass effect was poorly published and rushed out so that ea fan make its spring quota , so once again a big screw you to ea fans and the community... and in typical ea fashion, they are focusing on their version of destiny, but why should we be excited, once you get our money are you gonna take it and run , laughing at us again ? So now star war knights of the old Republic got squashed by terrible decisions and we lost that series... Now mass effect is gone for anthem Jade empire 2 is on hold for dragon age... Dragon age series got dumbed down for Inquisition.. so how will the next one be ?! Just another seemingly rushed game with eas patented pay to win multiplayer that is worthless!?? What's up with Baldur's Gate? BioWare needs to get as far away from ea as possible , that company is a cancer amongst the gaming community and is killing BioWare's rep and games ... This tired story is not worthy of a new thread. Moving to an existing discussion.

This is the only thing I could find about a twitch stream and Andromeda's future: https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/6hgo5g/mea_spoilers_i_was_watching_the_bioware_stream/ Wow someone linked the sales and MEA did amazing! https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/6gruzc/no_spoiler_some_sales_number_for_andromeda/ https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/6b8vw1/no_spoilers_andromeda_sales_data_thread/ Wouldn't call amazing sales numbers, however far above EA's expectations. And I never, ever, heard of a game and franchise being put on ice for earning a profit above expectations, just with mixed reception. ME:A would have to be the very first game like that, especially under EA, for a game that sold well but gets canned due to... memes?

That's kinda my point. And honestly, I don't think he does feel threatened. Going by his twitter, he seems more amused than anything. Someone did mention that he had a meltdown in the neogaf forms. He had a meltdown on /r/masseffect And there huge chunk of people treat his word as gospel, so he was almost in "safe space". Yet still rage quitted because people still dared to question him. This guy is a massive coward who can't handle to be questioned.

Until there's some independent verification of this or Bioware tells us themselves, I'm treating his article as nothing more than gossip.

Funny, to me it looks like optimism and a whole lot of people who aren't willing to be easily deterred, saddened or misled because someone says otherwise to what the want. I don't really see any anger other than tiring of people who insist on telling us what we want isn't going to happen and getting their rocks off on it. That just makes those other people pathetic. Us? We're good. We choose to see the glass as half full. When DLC drops none of us will have sad here sad about not getting it. We'll have spent this whole time happy about what we wanted knowing it was going to happen. Does ranting at and slinging insults at a random game journalist on the internet not count as angry behavior? If that's optimism, then optimism has taken a rather dark turn. Believe what you want about the veracity of the guy's claims, but the response here has been decidedly negative. Which is why I'd find it kinda funny if he was right after all these many pages of multiple threads of people arguing about these sorts of claims. Because a number of people here are being dicks to this person they don't know just because he said something they don't want to believe. When they start trolling people in a thread on BSN, reposting screenshots from here and humiliating people on twitter, anger seems appropriate. That was his response to people questioning whether he had actual sources. Choosing to not take him at his word when his words is three people familiar with BW is not disparaging to him nor is it negative. It's intelligent. He didn't like that because he was apparently on the forum while we were discussing it. Also, he chose to run his story right after the hoax was labeled a hoax which made it even more suspect. By that point people had their fill of secret sources and journalists who wish to do nothing but insist MEA is dead in every imaginable way. He made it far to personal as he has done multiple times in the past and all because people chose to not take him at his word. He has been wrong before, so why should anyone believe what he says if they are happier thinking otherwise? These are not facts he was giving. Specifically they were more like hearsay. At that point many people probably did become dicks. And at that point he was deserving it.

I don't remember why I know that though.

I'm not sure about DA2 and ME2, ME3 and DAI. Well, we know DA:I was (and remains) Bioware's best release. They kind of hyped that up. Since it came out after ME3... Kind of surprised about the 2s, though. DA2 may be my guilty favorite, but it's not as strong as ME2.

I'm not sure about DA2 and ME2, ME3 and DAI. Went to search around and there are no sales figures ever released for these games. I do clearly remember from years ago being said that DA2 sold better then ME2, while at same time DA:O sold better then DA2. Meanwhile EA and BioWare also claim ME3 outsold both ME1 and ME2, while DA:I was their best sold title ever. But without ever releasing sales figures. I, however, welcome anyone to try to dig out real numbers for this. Right now, I'm basing this on my memory from statements made years ago.

For example, EA said Inquisition had their best launch, but nothing about overall sales.
