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

What if Jason Schreier doesn't exist and it's another hoax?

Putting it off until the Fall sure makes it sound like they are waiting to announce a DLC.

You didn't learn your lesson the first time?

I am kind of halfway between hoping you guys are right and hoping ME:A goes away quietly. I thought a lot of the memes and criticisms against the game were overblown, but I am kind of hoping the Andromeda/Ryder continuity is dead and the series goes back and just does a hard reboot in the Milky Way. Wasn't a fan of the Kett, don't like the SAM/AI singularity stuff, and I hated leaving behind an entire galaxy's worth of established lore and relationships.

Does he give an actual reason why we should believe him over the hoax, or is this just more clickbait?

Sinclair Networks = obvious scam
Jason = legit gaming journalist who knows lots of industry people and has good insider reporting record, who certainly has contacts at Bioware since he interviewed devs there not too long ago

SN being a hoax =/= Jason being wrong

If Jason turns out to be wrong, it won't be because of maliciousness/clicks/out to personally get MEA fans (of which I'm one). Sometimes sources just get things wrong. He's only relaying what he's told. He's good enough at his job that he wouldn't write anything that he didn't corroborate with more than just a single source (which is how this works in journalism) and didn't have high confidence in. His rep is on the line, after all. And intentionally making shit up would get his boss Stephen Totillo to fire his ass in a heartbeat.  

News bums me out but just because I don't want to hear it, doesn't mean it's not true. Therein lies FAEK NOOZ madness.

His "sources" at this point, however, may be putting a lot more on the line that reputation.  After such a hoax broke, I find it almost inconceivable that anyone a Bioware would immediately run to Jason a second time just to confirm no DLC.  There is no new information in that article that wasn't in Jason's first one.  Jason's second rant about his article already shows that he's hyper-defensive about the whole issue (something that is also unbecoming of a professional reporter).  That rant alone risked his reputation and now coming back with this article only makes him appear more desperate and defensive.  If he wants to be perceived as a professional reporter... he really needs to start acting like one.  Time will tell whether he's right or wrong.

And today we discover the MEA novel 'Annihilation' (working title "The Lost Ark") releases September 1st.

Hmmm...

Even if he's right, his behavior is not going to help him in the future.

Deja vu! I said the exact same thing when I thought SN was real!
