Eurogamer claiming a source has told them no DLC is coming out...

I have to admit that I'm in the same boat. I'm long past the point of caring what the gaming press think, and after that farce on twitter I'm not convinced of their legitimacy. At this stage all I want to see is either a cancellation notice or a release date. 

Well dang, I generally enjoy Tom Phillips's articles and follow him on twitter too. To my knowledge has no particular axe to grind and is fair in his reporting. Looks like he did a fair bit of reasearch on Sinclair Network too.

Which is why it's strange that the article has so many details on the SN hoax, complete with a direct quote from someone intimately familiar with them, while the DLC mention from the anonymous source got... 3 words in passing.

One would think this deserved to be the main point of the article with far more detail behind it: if DLC was never planned, why are there still hints in the single player campaign and in APEX mission briefings? What influenced EA's decision not to make DLC: financial earnings, critical reception, ... ? Was this decision taken after the game shipped, and if so are there assets that were in pre-production while the game still wasn't out? Who worked on them? Who is working on patch content now if Bioware Montreal was downsized? Why can't they work on DLC if they can bring in writers, animators and voice actors for a free patch? Seems like these are questions that should be answered along with declaring that no DLC is coming. If the source is so knowledgeable about DLC not being planned, surely they would have more knowledge about other issues and would be willing to provide answers to follow up questions.

Again, I do think Tom is just reporting the facts as presented to him. Which is why the lack of precision is so baffling. Because I'm ok with accepting that no DLC is coming - but I do expect journalists to provide a little more detail as to the how and why if they're gonna bother writing articles about it.

Schrodingers dlc continues. 

Of course it's your right to believe there is DLC coming, and none of us really knows anything for sure.
Possibly there is DLC coming.
I'm just giving my opinion.

I actually don't give a fuck about DLC anymore. I'm taking this stuff personally because of how ridiculous it's all become over a damn game, and people's obsession with ruining it for others like me who love it.

I will be really disapointed if in a few months from now this turn outs to be true. After all a simple edit on those APEX missions would be enough to cut any kind of hint.


At least there is a new AC, Metro and Shadow of Mordor coming in the next months too.

Yeah, I don't get why no one asked at least a few follow-up questions to these sources so they could provide a little more detail. partly why I have some hope that the info isn't good info.

Agreement: Yes, Master. All these organics trying to spread negativity are making my blasters itch.

By this time any reasonable people should at least be open to the possibility that there is indeed no DLC in development. Though most people here doesn't seem to be behaving reasonably. To believe that all these sites, Kotaku, Eurogamer or whatever are "personally" attacking Andromeda and have some hidden agenda aimed at hurting Biware is quite absurd.

It's funny how much of what I'm seeing here is the very same I see everyday with football and the journalism that surrounds it. If a reporter writes a new that says something bad about your team, it's because he wants it to fail. His sources are untrue and he is bad at his job.

I have a source that says DLC is coming. They've been working on it for a bit.

Their agenda isn't hidden at all.

It's clickbait, plain and simple. Appeal to both Mass Effect fans who would be concerned by "rumours" and the pathetic trolls who want Mass Effect to die.

Schreier's shown his true colours, pretending to have sympathy for the developers while calling it a "failure", having his head wedged up his backside in regards to the game selling well and having millions of fans. That sums up about how trustworthy anything he claims about ME:A is, no matter how many other lazy wannabe-journalists regurgitate his hearsay.

My main problem with andromeda is that a lot of the characters were great and everything. But at the end of the day most of the stuff that happened in the game didn't matter at all to the main original trilogy. ME 1 2 and 3 with the extended cut. Ended. Completely finished off everything I wanted the series to do. Most other video game series usually shit themselves before they can conclude properly. But mass effect didn't it ended. Really really well (in my opinion don't kill me) Andromeda could have done more to make itself a proper self contained side story. But what we got was, a little bit of inquisition a little bit of ME1 and shitty sudoku puzzles with bugs in the background. It is the third best mass effect to me. But it might join the ranks of reboots everyone has forgotten about. Like prince of persia 2008 dmc devil may cry or mirrors edge catalyst.
