I don't want to sound like a broken record but is that exactly what they said? "Mass Effect: Andromeda sold well"? those words? Not exactly. But i bet had it not sold (and was reviewed) well EAs word choice in the earnings call would be veeeerrreyyyy different. Maybe. Let's see if they change their tune next Thursday.

Oh, God. The font colors. They burn! DS3: "While we have not announced sales for Dead Space 3, we are proud of the game and the franchise remains an important IP to EA," an EA spokesperson told Eurogamer. MEA: "Weβre very happy with how BioWare is doing and how BioWare is treating Mass Effect. Our expectations for the Mass Effect IP are strong for the future." MEA has a future. DS3 not so much.

As mentioned before, Dead Space 3 got DLC. Well, considering that DS3 was released on February 5th and that Awakened was released on March 12th, one could make the case that the DLC was already in development (I doubt they could've made that DLC in under a month and had it pass QA too) or even close to completion. EDIT: Apparently, they had indeed been working on the DLC several months before release. SourceDeadspace was going to be shut down before it even launched. There's also the rumor that the chapters spelling out "RIP" was pretty much a sendoff or last goodbye to the franchise and the fans leftover that still cared to play. honestly DS3 getting a DLC like awakened(the only dlc it got) really isn't good support that Andromeda would get any DLC. I'd go to other EA titles that haven't been shutdown to show that support cause it really isn't profitable making DLC for franchises closing down, they're closing down for a reason (not making money)

I thought it was illegal to lie to investors. Was that wrong? Pretty sure you can't do that. Some kind of securities fraud.

To play devil's advocate, there is no specificity in whatever "future" there is for the IP or Andromeda itself. It could just mean MP content, comics, and books, and maybe looking at a reboot down the road, or it could mean DLC and a sequel. I'm certainly hoping for the latter, but it could also mean the former.

Expectations can be very low - which would make sense considering Andromedas delays and development history. So it's not lying for EA to tell investors they are happy if the game sold poorly in relation to the trilogy, but above lowered expectations. You'll notice they didn't bother to address sales figures as that would have led to more conversations they clearly didn't want to have.

I thought it was illegal to lie to investors. Was that wrong? Pretty sure you can't do that. Some kind of securities fraud. Lying to investors would be something like saying you still have faith in Bioware and then closing it down or laying off a bunch of people a week later because the company really wasn't doing well. Lying about actual financials, or things that would affect the stock value. Investors really only care about high level anyway. Overall earnings, overall sales, etc. Everything isn't always going to be good all at the same time, but as long as the overall financial health and outlook of the company is good they don't care whether ME:A gets SP DLC or not. They didn't even mention ME:A in the earnings release, and he also said more content was to come, including additions to MP, which they've done. So no way that could even be a lie anyway. It's obvious they care about the MP component more, because those are likely the people that will be playing Anthem.

They completely ignored ME:A in their earnings call UNTIL someone asked them about it. Doesn't that seem strange considering it was their only AAA game released during the quarter? But they still said that they were happy about MEA, and I don't know where you saw it was a good thing to lie to investors, they are not journalist that speaks to the community, they are the owners of the company. But why didnt they bring this up earlier? Why wait for an analyst to bring up MEA before EA talked about it? I mean, it was the only AAA game released in that quarter....it should have been the 1st thing they talked about, especially if it was something they were satisifed with.

Maybe follow the rules and accounts won't be banned. Clearly the mods agree with us considering we aren't banned when people like quarantine are.

He was very civil after Sofa'n chat and refused to talk about the incident again in threads, only PM's. My guess, he started getting harassed by others and decided to start over or take a break. Unless Sofa or one of the other mods wants to correct me? Could be a valuable lesson on what not to do on the Forums, but again my guess is that Quarantine left on their own accord. Same with Fluffy.

We know (thanks to ea) that the game sold well. I don't want to sound like a broken record but is that exactly what they said? "Mass Effect: Andromeda sold well"? They said they were happy with how BioWare was treating Andromeda - sales were never mentioned. If I was in EA's shoes I'd try and tiptoe around any negativity as lightly as possible what with their ongoing investment in Anthem.

I mean, it was the only AAA game released in that quarter....it should have been the 1st thing they talked about, especially if it was something they were satisifed with. Before any questions are taken in the Earnings Call, Mass Effect Andromeda is mentioned by Blake J. Jorgensen, Electronic Arts Inc. - CFO and EVP. Focusing on Q1, we're expecting GAAP net revenue of $1.425 billion, GAAP cost of revenue of $157 million and GAAP EPS of $1.93. We expect Q1 net sales to be $750 million, up 10% year-on-year driven by Mass Effect: Andromeda, Battlefield 1 and Ultimate Team. finance.yahoo.com/news/edited-transcript-ea-earnings-conference-022737730.html
