Not going to boicott Anthem. But is not my type of game, so I would not buy it regardless, since I have no interest in any kind of multiplayer games. So I voted no.
As much as I want my Quarian back, I can live without a DLC, since I'm sure there will be a sequel eventually.

My decision to buy Anthem or not is independent on what happens to ME:A and what content does it get.

It sounds like they'll still release the books so it's not like we won't find out what happens. You could... download the audiobook - there's your DLC.

Don't need to boycott something I won't be playing in any case. Online shooters are not my thing.

If Anthem is a success Mass Effect will stay dead so fuck it and everyone who supports it for the next 5-10 years. The only joy I can find in all this misery is that one day they will abandon Anthem chasing the next shiny new ActivisionBlizzard trend and their new audience will know exactly how it feels.

Collaborative multiplayer is just not my cup of tea. The exception is world of warships because its a quick game easy for me and my brothers to pick up and shoot the breeze over voice comms (we live in different cities). The Anthem Promo did not really appeal to me and it looks like they are going after people who play The Division, Overwatch...etc. Its not really my cup of tea. If I want something more hardcore than World of Warships then I will go back to EvE-O
As for the DLC (any MEA DLC). I might boycott that over how upset I am with MEA. I definitely wont pre-purchase it (MEA really taught me a lesson about pre-purchasing) and it would have to get some pretty amazing feedback for me to consider it.
But if the question is will I tie Anthem to whether or not there is a an MEA DLC? The answer is no, both are separate issues.
I think people need to relax a bit. If Anthem is a great game and something up your alley there is no reason to stay away from it. ME had a great run, and to be honest there is alot about MEA that just does not feel like a 'Mass Effect' game. If BW ran out of ideas for games in the ME universe I would rather they let it go and work on something new.

I'am not really interested in Anthem as i don't play much online games, so either way i will not buy it. From the other hand as i said many times before, if BioWare will just abandon MEA as it is - unfinished with xxx open plots - I will not buy any other games made by them.

I'll give Anthem a chance if it has a single player mode. I'm not looking for a multiplayer experience, but so far I haven't been disappointed by any Bioware game I played and I see no reason not to try out something new from them.

What a ridiculous choice of options.
No, I won't boycott Anthem. But I won't buy it either. There's exactly zero anticipation on my part as far as Anthem is concerned.

No, because Anthem is completely irrelevant to ME:A's development.
But at same time, I will be uncertain to support BioWare by that point. As well Anthem already doesn't excite me in first place. I'm intrigued by the game, but on "wait and see" mode.

I thought Bioware has been quiet about DLC for MEA? If that's the case, how can you frame a question about them scrapping development of a specific DLC that nobody knows it ever existed to begin with?

I do not need to boycott Anthem because I'm really not interested in generic sci-fi MMOs.
I've always liked Bioware for their ability to make immersive and fun single player role playing games with engaging stories and well developed characters. Anthem does seem to go in a completely different direction so I wont buy it. * shrugs *

No ME fan that cares about MEA should buy Anthem or SWBF2 or SW2018. Anything that damaged MEA/BW Montréal is on my shit list.
I believe any Quarian stuff will be crammed into the upcoming The Lost Ark/Annihilation novel, and we won't see them in the game.

As most of us know, Andromeda was pretty much sabotaged by EA and rivaling Bioware factions. The interesting part is, Bioware fans are primarily Mass Effect and Dragon Age players. Nobody is a fan of their new Anthem game yet so technically nobody would miss it if they never got to play it. However, fans will miss Mass Effect if it gets completely abandoned because its an established franchise with a huge fan base. That said, every Mass Effect fan is a potential Anthem fan. But would those fans really wanna try out something new from Bioware if they thought for one minute that Bioware/EA were going to abandon Anthem the way they did with Andromeda? Can they be trusted? One way to convince fans to cross over and try out their new game Anthem would be to gain our trust and release the Quarian Ark DLC. That would show they're serious about maintaining their IP's and not simply letting it fall into ruin. So with that said, cast your votes. Quarian DLC, in fact any DLC, was never announced. If there is no DLC I will be sad about it, but it has nothing to do with how likely I am to play Anthem (I'm not all that in to it but I'll keep an open mind), the same way I won't boycott the next Dragon Age if it gets made. I don't believe that a new IP would be responsible for the end of an older one.

Just to be clear, EA as a publicly traded company will always lean towards chasing trends, and if the stuff that ActivisionBlizzard is coming up with is hot, thats what will draw investor money. Any publically traded company behaves this way be it video games, movies, social media...etc. What made BW special was that their format and game style could not easily be copied (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts). But once it gets absorbed into the conglomerate it changes - it takes time but it changes.

I wouldn't take it so personally if there were lots of great (actual) sci-fi RPG franchises around but there aren't and now there are even fewer. Deus Ex was cancelled. Cyberpunk is pretty much the only one left now.

Funny, cause i finish every other DEUS EX game minimum twice, HR DC probably around 5 times. It is a bad time for action-rpg's.

The story was going nowhere and I think it had run it's course so I'm not surprised Eidos dropped it when they landed Guardians. Disappointing all the same. I still thought DX:MD was a better game overall than Andromeda personally.
