I just want two things.... a patch in which the font is readable and at lest one DLC. Where is the best place to make my request of Bioware/EA..... They really love Twitter. Perhaps @masseffect ... My third eye sees their reply will be "we're looking into it"/"can't talk about it". Probably, was just providing info.

Absolute rubbish.....if Bioware can announce an Andromeda book.....they sure as hell can announce Andromeda DLC.......tell me,what harm comes from confirming DLC?????? Because the book's written but the DLC not produced. That's why they can announce the book but not the DLC. Is that really so hard to understand. If they have a DLC they will announce it. They won't confirm what isn't there. Bioware announced companion books way before they were written,before the game was even released. Stop normalizing EA/Bioware's inept PR system.......it's not normal,it's boarder line ignorant..........PR stands for Public Relations......it's supposed to create positivity between client and customer.......look at the great job they are doing......it's garbage.

Stop normalizing the fans' behavior towards Bioware. Everything and anything that Bioware would say would be instantly scoffed, attacked, and memed over the entire internet. The people now deriding Bioware for not producing a DLC within 3 months of the game releasing are the same ones who, not so long ago, were deriding the industry for producing day-one DLCs and not including everything in the vanilla game. The same people who have been saying that DLCs are the bane of the industry... but now it's a sin for Bioware to not produce one within a very short time of the game releasing. Even the best PR department cannot say what they themselves don't know yet. If the Board of Directors of EA hasn't made a decision whether or not to do a DLC for Andromeda, the PR Department cannot, in good faith, tell the public anything either way. If there are VAs that cannot be signed to work on the DLC because of the current VA strike, there is nothing Bioware can do about it... and no one knows when the strike will end. It could end tomorrow or it could literally drag on for years. It's that simple... Bioware are telling us that the CANNOT say anything about it at this time. Why? They may not know themselves yet whether or not there will be DLC. Still, there are the fans blowing this all way over the top just like they did with the facial animations. It's no conspiracy... but it is the mob "lemming" factor at work. The reality is, it's not a "life and death" situation. It makes no difference to any fan whether or not DLC is announced right now or later. They have the game. It's not going to decay on them. They either like it now or they don't. If they don't (and the most vocal fans complaining about this clearly don't like the game)... the DLC is not going to fix that for them. They just want Bioware to "feed their trolling" and are so frustrated that Bioware isn't feeding them... that they have to make up hoax companies and fake news to drive their "anti-Bioware" hype trains and get clicks for themselves.

Why should they tell us anything? And the Anthem thing is like the Destiny thing, that was likely a vague generality or the intention to turn it into another franchise. I highly doubt Anthem itself will get ten years of support. Yeah, God forbid they would tell fans of the series that purchased the game about its future.

EA spoke up about the hoax, but said they could not discuss story DLC. I think people are just going to have to wait. JOH came out in March, DAI came out in November. Wait util August for MEA.

They may even take more time than for jaws of hakon, considering they had to put extra ressources on patches.

MEA came out in March, had 2 major patches added in 4 months (and one was pretty big since they had to call in writers, animators and actors), so even Sep/Oct would be logical for a wait time, since they are not on a regular schedule. The strike might also interfere with things too.

I highly doubt Anthem itself will get ten years of support. Beacuse you are paying customers that actually have the right to know about the future of said product you paid money for. Just a guess. Hmm, I'd agree if you were talking about patches for the game you actually bought, although they have been pretty forthcoming in this respect. DLC is additional content that you haven't paid for and that may or may not be released at some time in the future. If, for instance, they had released a Season Pass early on which people had bought, then I would agree that they should keep buyers apprised of the status of said additional content. As it stands though, while there is (or was) an expectation of single-player DLC for ME:A, neither BioWare nor EA have to disclose any information regarding such, at least not until they think they're ready to do so. It would be nice if they did certainly, if only to dispel this atmosphere of uncertainty that has been generated around ME:A.

I agree, to me BioWare would own us more information if they were selling Season Passes (ugh, I really hate this idea) because then people would have already purchased them and we expect them to provide us with the items we purchased.

I'd also like to point out the last patch was worked on for around 2 months, so if any DLC was planned, those 2 extra months went to the patch.

Also, there was an untitled novel (per Amazon) scheduled for release in Summer 2017. I understand that September 1st is still Summer, but if it is a reference to Annihilation, it got removed from Amazon altogether. The only thing currently on Amazon is Mass Effect Andromeda: Initiation, due out November 6th.

Yeah, but I'm curious why it's not available as a pre-order when the release date is less than two months away.

Sounds like it relates to how it all started based on the word "Initiation" so maybe the Benefactor, Jien and Alec?

What's interesitng to note is this:
Titan is publishing four unmissable Mass Effect novels. The novels will act as prequel and sequels to the events in the games and will become part of the overarching Mass Effect saga. These new stories, developed in close collaboration with the BioWare game team, weave directly into the action of the new game - and will reveal events kept secret over the course of game play - and will add to the canonical Mass Effect saga.

When asked in March about MEA2 they said check back in a couple of years.

I want my Ryder to get Mom out of statis and cure her. I'm one of the few (I think) more interested in that than in a Quarian Ark DLC. I'd certainly play all of them, but I don't want to read about other characters doing things Ryder should be doing.

I'm far more interested in reviving my mom and solving Garson's murder than the Quarian story-arc, undoubtedly because I was invested in the former.

I highly doubt Anthem itself will get ten years of support. Yeah, God forbid they would tell fans of the series that purchased the game about its future. they have. Multiple times. And then every time they do kotaku essentially comes out of the wood work calling them liars. All these threads and Comments are the moral equivalent of asking 'are we there yet' thousands of times when bioware is just trying to drive the car and some want to let them.

That's a terrible analogy......asking "are we there yet" means the people asking know where they are going. What we have,are people asking "where are we going?"..........Bioware,just remains silent and doesn't respond to anything you ask.......is that normal????
