EA/BW transparency/marketing

OP what's the story with that username, because I swear that's my iCloud Keychain password?

Why? Do you want to see a company crash, and people loosing their jobs and income for their family, just because you do not get an DLC you want?

Hmm... Let me think about that...

Everything prior to E3 regarding Anthem touted this promise by Patrick Soderlund.

Which people? The people on here or BioWare's people? I'm just judging the reaction on here on the past couple of days between the hoax and the article. Look, they have to tell the fanbase whether or not there is going to be dlc on a official basis, they can't keep this silence forever.  Where at the five month mark give or take a few days if were judging this on past history with BioWare dlc-if nothing gets announced soon. Sure, maybe i'm overreacting on the latter, but considering the actual reaction; I don't feel like i'm that far of--to be honest with you. That's how I feel anyway.   

That's really not how fans see things. This forum is proof of that.

Sadly it will also affect other things, like Anthem. Many will not even give it a chance and we know how brutal fans can get, and it will always hold the taint of being known as the game that tossed ME fans to the curb. Nothing good is going to come of any of this in the end for BW/EA unless people get answers.

The people at Bioware and/or EA. To be more specific their press and pr departments being there to advice the board on the lines of communications. A negative will never be communicated. Not without solid reason. And that reason is not internet people hyping themselves up over internet rumors, but something they themselves have created. Such as announcing an expansion that will never come. They didn't make any promises for MEA. Nothing, zilch, so they won't communicate a negative.

While I do have a feeling that Ryder will get Dragon Age treatment for protagonist in this new saga, BioWare never really stated that.

I mean, it makes sense. You can't exactly make a game series set in Heleus system with just Ryder on helm. There's around 100,000 people( including Quarian ark and whatever canonical number of casualties would be there), no real urban centres, while those that exist are exclusively Angaran, and there's still no hint of Mass Relays to start construction( if ever).

There has to be a generational jump for Andromeda saga to continue, so that Milky Way population jumps to millions of adults with industrial centres and have military space ships constructions. Only way Ryder can stay around, is if he's put on ice for long time until he's needed.

Mac even said maybe people would be ready to return to the MW by then. They are simply testing waters. When Ryder was first announced, Shepard fanboys tore them to shreds, but now people have come to love Ryder and want to play as them again, so if they can't in the next ME game, they want to at least say goodbye Citadel/Trespasser-style.

MEA reminded me a lot of DA, even the new lore, so they are planning for this to be a sci-fi DA game, and recently Flynn said ME is the IP for hardcore sci-fi fans, and Anthem would be something different, so if you want hardcore sci-fi, Anthem is not what you're looking for it seems.

Well, I wasn't even talking about BioWare/EA at that moment. I was referring to the people on here. At some point though, there's got to be an update on the official website stating something about the future of MEA and or Mass Effect in general. Like, I mean, dunno when there's going to eventually stop of the mp updates and or patches. For one, so that BioWare can turn the Mass Effect fan base's attention to Anthem/DA4 and quell the rumors speculation about dlc, if there is in fact no dlc. They can't be having this looming over the heads heading into next year's E3 and this year's VGA's if there is going to be more gameplay this year. 

Regardless, they still cannot communicate a decision that may not have been actually made by their Board of Directors as yet.  In addition, they cannot communicate a decision made by their Board of Directors until their Board of Directors advises them that the decision should be released.

They have nothing to gain by releasing information prior to them being ready to release it... just the same as they had nothing to gain by releasing a game prior to it being ready to be released.  People should see the pattern by now... they put excess pressure demanding the release of stuff and then complain ad nauseum when it's not up to their standards and then go right back into pressuring the company to release something else before it's ready.

People then say, well, they should say their working on it... Well, they have said they are working on something... something that excites them.  They've told us point blank that they cannot (note - cannot, i.e. are not able) to say more at this time.

But both games are over a year in the future. With DA not even officially announced. Give it another three months and the bulk of players will have moved on anyway and hardly anyone will talk about MEA anymore. Do you really think that if, assuming there won't be any DLCs, anyone will still ask about them when the Anthem prerelease hype starts? Or DAs, whenever that may be?
