Is ME:A Dead?

It's simple though. Say yes to DLC, no need to say when or what it is. You at least shut up the "x franchise is dead" or "the game is so bad there's no DLC" fights. So long as people know more is coming it shouldn't bother most. I understand media and various others will still do rumors but why care about them? My game is still getting DLC in the end so they could rumor away as much as they want. If the franchise has confirmed continuation I would've figured a fanbase could let any other rumor just go by cause I don't see the need to defend full grown studios. 

Rumors and media lies only occur because people like to play with it even if they say they dislike it. I see people on these forums say they won't take others seriously yet two months later they'll still engage with them. That's how the media and their rumors still occur, cause people choose to get involved and give it attention. Something doesn't just stop or go away until you stop going towards it.

I don't think it would make that much of a difference because of how the internet seems to want to view things anymore.  Even look at the current comments around Ben Affleck staying on as Batman, because he didn't say he was staying in the role to the exact specifications of the people that make commentary on these things they are still sticking with their own viewpoint.  They were using things like "he didn't look like he was having fun there, unlike the others" or other over analyzing techniques.  I think it would be exactly the same and we would still be in the exact same position here.

"Bear in mind that the Kotaku report is unverified and unofficial, but the site has a pretty good record of getting these things right. It's possible that BioWare could surprise us, but right now I wouldn't bet on it." - IGN

Funny how nobody doubted the people who leaked romance stuff before Andromeda released

Isn't Marketing and PR that should be addressing this? I love BioWare, but I hate EA... each with equal passion. I know they're one and the same, but they're not from a publisher/studio point of view. I'm not asking you for the answer SofaJockey. I'm asking EA, but they're not here. Marketing and PR are off taking surveys among themselves. Assumption? Yes... and no. 

I disagree. We're talking about EA. However, I do agree with the spirit and tone of your response. EA doesn't spend money without expecting returns. They bet low and safe... every time. That's their MO. Don't believe me? Just follow their sports titles and Battlefield products. 

Yes... that is why I said they had a source, singular. 

The difference between me and you, is that I aim my derision at the game itself and not the people who like/dislike it.

Cool story, bro. I like the Backstreet boys.

Yeah. I wanna go to Vegas and see them and Brittney.

And then go bowling and rollerskating afterwards? Sounds cool...
