Let's CSI:BSN this. We have confirmation that Tiberius is now merged into EA Motive. Have we heard anything from any of the other MEA principals? From Montreal? Yannick Roy and Fabrice Condominas I believe. Fabrice is moving to Edmonton.

I don't care if it's Bioware Zimbabwe. I just want Quarian sp DLC so I can assuage my guilt over inadvertantly causing Tali's suicide and the obliteration of the Quarians during my first playthrough of Me:3 Does BioWare Zimbabwe get into as many hijinks and shenanigans as Dominos Zimbabwe?

"So it represents a fan base that's very passionate, looking for very particular things and many players found exactly what they're looking for and some players did not. With that said, we believe Mass Effect: Andromeda delivers a rich, deep experience, which celebrate what makes the franchise great: wonderful, beautiful, deep, rich world, amazing combat and engaging fast-paced multiplayer." "We're very happy with how Bioware is doing, how Bioware is treating Mass Effect. And our expectations for Mass Effect are still strong for the future and the franchise overall.” "And our expectations for Mass Effect are still strong for the future and the franchise overall." "We’re very happy with Bioware. Bioware has continued to support Mass Effect, and the new team is doing some amazing things, and you'll hear more about that in the months to come.” "We expect Q1 net sales to be $750million, up 10% year on year, driven by Mass Effect Andromeda, Battlefield 1 and Ultimate Team."
"Net sales for the quarter were $ 775 million, up $ 93 million on the prior year, and $ 25 million above our guidance. ... Year on year growth was driven by the Mass Effect: Andromeda sales captured in the quarter and by FIFA.""Digital net sales were $ 681 million, a new record for the first quarter, and up $ 113 million on the year ago period. The increase reflects strength in live services, together with our Mobile business. In addition, Mass Effect: Andromeda was a significant contributor. Digital sales now represent 63% of our business on a trailing twelve month basis compared to 56% in the prior year." "Full game PC and console downloads generated net sales of $111 million, 32% higher than last year. This was driven by Mass Effect: Andromeda sales captured in the quarter." Clearly voices of disappointment and mutism. Now as far as how many units were actually sold we don't know since EA isn't telling. You did however refer to a poster using above mentioned sources as proof of MEA bombing. I'm merely looking at those sources and what they actually tell us is that MEA did do as good or bad as all other Bioware games have done from ME2 and forward at least. The quotes above are all Andrew Wilson and Blake Jorgensen. Especially note the bolded wherein they got 25 million dollars more than expected - driven by MEA. But I'm sure you will ignore all this and in five minutes post again how all "proof" points to MEA bombing. And yet NOWHERE in there does EA say that MEA surpassed the records or sales of DAI. MEA could be a contributing factor of how and why EA did good in a quarter, but that doesnt mean it sold more than DAI. Oh, and I never said DAI was a sales failure. I only said that it didnt sell as much as Witcher 3 did and I also said that DAI's sales success had a lot to do with the fact that it was the first "next gen" Bioware game and thus was a novelty. So I say again, If MEA sold more than DAI and toppled its records, why wouldn't EA say that? Saying MEA tops DAIs sales, a 2014 GOTY, is a stronger statement than it being a contributing factor in sales because it is already obvious that a brand such as ME would be a contributing factor, but what MORE did it do? DAI was also a contributing factor in sales but EA didnt stop there, they went on to highlight that DAI wad the fastest selling Bioware game ever. How come EA didnt offer any further praise to MEA the same way they did with DAI? Nice try though. You get a C+ for effort:) I'm not sure as to why you're hinging MEA the success or not on it selling more than DAI? Since EA are not telling we have no way of knowing for sure. We know they are happy with the results though. It should be perfecly clear unless you keep your eyes wide shut.

Someone on Twitter: Is there any chance of an Xbox One X patch for Mass Effect Andromeda? Ian S. Frazier: No idea, sorry. I'm no longer with BioWare, but you could ask someone in Edmonton. So Frazier is no longer with Bioware and questions about Andromeda are answering folks at Edmonton. I think Montreal is really dead. That is correct he is no longer at Bioware he is at EA Motive.

Seems a bit complicated to be a reaction to one game not being received as well as they wanted. I'm becoming more and more convinced that this merger has nothing to do with Andromeda.

A movement of personnel this large would have been planned months, if not over a year, in advance. It's not something that happens in a couple of weeks. So I don't buy the whole "DLC was cancelled because of the move" idea. If they knew this move would mean no DLC, then there were never any DLC plans to start with.

SofNascimento, you're linking individual job performance with financial success. It makes sense, but it's out of context. Who knows why they're gone. Maybe HR is doing their job. Maybe... they've been recruited out of there. It's all speculation at best. And by the way, it was 14 leads and a whole lot more than that in lower-level developers that left DURING production. So, if they're going now... they either exhausted all of their good will or their good will was bought out by a competitor.

I guess fans got what they wished for, Mass Effect is now fully back in BW Edmonton hands. It's just unknown how many BW Edmonton devs are working on ME:A.
It's just, rather upsetting. Especially since this merger was undergoing for pretty much past year. So reception to ME:A is completely irrelevant to faith of SP Story DLC's, it is this merger. So if DLC's are canned, they got canned long before ME:A was even put on Gold.

I hate to see BW Montreal folded up but there's does appear to have been some dysfunction in that office. As you said, EA seems to have been happy with the financial performance of ME:A, going by their Q1 FY18 call, but EA doesn't appear to have been pleased with Montreal or, I think, MEAMP.
