Does anyone think that maybe, just maybe, BioWare/EA never planned any SP DLC at all in the first place?
I mean, there was no season pass, which is extremely odd for EA.
Discuss.

Considering they're announcing a 10-year plan for a game that hasn't even released yet, I'd say it's likely they had plans for SP DLC at one point. |

No season pass? It all strikes me as very odd. |

But it was in packs, not small updates. 2. ME2 had the Cerberus Network Pass and ME3 had an online pass. Andromeda had none of this... |

While the lack of a season pass might be odd for EA it isn't for BioWare releases. I can't think of one time they've offered a season pass for one of their games.

The Cerberus Network wasnt a season pass...you got it free with the purchase of a new game. It was only if you bought game used that you had to pay for the DLC separately which is cool by me.
ME3 didn't have a season pass either...From Ashes was a Collectors Edition bonus that you had to pay for separately if you just bought the base game. To me, that was crappy but still not a seasons pass

From the looks of it, EA may be abandoning the Season Pass route with their games(for example Star Wars: Battlefront 2 won't have a Season Pass and all the DLC will be free) so I don't find it unusual especially when it comes to Bioware games since they've never really gone that route.

I feel that- they wouldn't have left so many plot points unsatisfying open and unresolved if they thought there wasn't going to be dlc.

Even Dead Space 3 got a DLC. |

Yeah. They announced that there will be no more season passes and old ones are now nullified and no longer required. I feel that- they wouldn't have left so many plot points unsatisfying open and unresolved if they thought there wasn't going to be dlc. I agree, but those could've been transitions/hype for a sequel. |

The Cerberus Network Pass was included with every copy of the game for no additional cost, and the online pass did not entitle the player to any DLCs. This is a false equivalence. |

Edit: Okay, fine. Everyone has already made that point. At the end of the day vonuber hit the nail on the hit regarding DLC. |

Thank you for pointing out the SWBF2 matter. Indeed one of the reasons it's on the closely watched list for me. |

Cerberus Network and the online pass were meant to incentivize buying the games new instead of used. EA's since discontinued things like that, with the content now available freely.

I felt like a parrot there for a sec. I think vonuber hit the nail on the head, though. We know there's at least 3 million copies sold, maybe more. If anyone doesn't think EA isn't salivating at charging $20 or more for MEA DLC to that base, well, they don't know EA very well. |

I think one of the reasons peeps are so on edge over ME:A DLC is because of the game's "critical reception" and all of the Kotaku articles. I know for one that that shit spun me right up... which in hindsight was prolly their purpose...... I feel stupid now.  |
