Doubt it, I think they're targeting a completely different audience with Anthem, which has little in common with the audience that was interested in their former games. So there is no bad blood, for them. Yet. I wonder who they are targeting with A. Destiny crowd, for sure. But I wonder if it's going to be story-heavy RPG. Or mostly action shooter. IF MEA is any indication, shooter with rpg elements.

I can't help but think its SJW reputation (deserved or not) had a lot to do with it. Then those people can't be reasoned with, and are probably hypocrites. Interesting. I've seen almost the EXACT words written on the other side of the fence.

I can't help but think its SJW reputation (deserved or not) had a lot to do with it. Sorry, but that doesn't hold water. Bioware had this SJW bullcrap to cope with since DA2 and it did nothing to their games or possible DLCs. They started catering to a broader audience back then and reaped what they sow. Casuals, who considered themselves beacons of the red blooded white male species with special needs. That certainly didn't do MEA in. DA2, ME3 and DAI beg to differ.

Sad news. I was holding out on trading it in. I guess it's on to new games. I'll be back to see the next Dragon Age. Anthem seems pretty cool so I might check in to see what the reception could be on this forum.. :sigh:

Some people here seem to think producing DLC has no cost and companies can just pump some out on a whim.
Get a reality check people.

I'm genuinely surprised, not gonna lie. Not that I cared, mind you. But, I thought they'll do the Quarian DLC at least, it was obvious that was the intend, but they're putting nails to their own coffin here.
A lot of people really wanted that DLC and now they're getting none, the Batarians introduced in MP have no solid background either now (not that it matters... I think most people don't care about lore that much in MP, but anyways). A middle finger for the little super loyal fans they got left after this not-so-well received game. Sad indeed. Just like nuking forums, this ain't helping them at all. Not sure who is to blame here, Bioware themselves? EA Overlords? who knows, I guess it doesn't really matter now.
One thing is certain, this doesn't give much confidence in Bioware as a company (not that I had much left, honestly). Definitely picking any new title from them with tweezers after watching every review done on the internet.

I thought we'd have up to 3 DLCs and was looking forward to them, so I'm very sad that there will be no more single player content. I might read the books but any won't be playing MP or reading the comics so I'll depend on this forum for any story content that comes from those places.

Sad, but gives me more time to climb LoL Ranked and finish the new POE patch. I will be back for Anthem though, since Inquisition was my Andromeda. (Absolute garbage game.) So with ME being dead, Anthem is like the only game from BW that interestes me now.
I think the Quarian DLC should have been a must, but it is what it is.

Shit they were ready to pay for it, after all. Thing is, producing nothing may have some cost of its own. Creating a big title with lots of unresolved threads, then relegating its follow-up to an entirely different medium is not a good look.

Yeah, I'm thinking relegating resolution of hanging plot threads to associated books is a poor move.

THEY WANT TO REVIVE MASS EFFECT? they should make "MASS EFFECT 4" and go back to the MILKYWAY GALAXY where it belongs after the Reaper war for crying out loud how the F is it hard to choose one bloody canon ending? Given the massive vitriol that actually resulted in those endings, why would they have bothered? it's their game. THE MOST LOGICAL ending would be destroy even if it kills off the entire Shepard crews as well. It's the only bloody way to move the franchise forward and maybe a new resource war broke out or a new threat. If y'all want to wonder around aimlessly in Andromeda then bloody hell

LOL, you think that would go over well? "That's not how I played it! My Shepard would never have chosen that ending! This isn't Mass Effect, it's garbage!" If you don't know that this is how it would play out, regardless of the ending chosen, you're an idiot. Bioware, or should I say EA-ware, have guaranteed that no matter what they do with Mass Effect now, they're going to piss off a significant portion of their fanbase. Not that they care about their fans anymore. They have completely fucked this up. I don't see how any of their customers can expect future products to be treated any better than this now. Anthem will probably be abandoned less than 6 months after release because of the people, like me, who refuse to give it a chance for various reasons, including "Anthem killed Mass Effect." Dragon Age 4 will suffer fallout from this as well, since I don't think we can trust Bioware not to abandon that game prematurely. Bioware is dead, Mass Effect it dead, EA-ware has taken over. I'm done with them. MODS: Delete my account. Anytime it's convenient will work. It was several days before I was allowed to use it, so it can lie abandoned for several days before you delete it. Very civil conversation with you

I think this is just a case of EA wanting to sweep Andromeda under the rug and forget it ever happened. They don't want that negativity associated with Bioware and Anthem. "Regardless of quality" is quite a stretch. The technical issues are the core of the meme stream that followed the game. They need to be there in order for it to stay alive. If BioWare actually released DLC, and it was no worse off technically than the current build of the game, there would be no fuel for the memes to run on. Like, what would they be able to do other than recycle the tired [face] old stuff that people have already seen? But then, it doesn't matter. I'm sure this has more to do with money than reputation, because this announcement is damaging too.

There's nothing to stop you or anyone else that loves it from giving it a 10. If you'll notice, most of the positive reviews that are 9's or 10's are actually almost universally prefaced with "I'm giving this game a 10 to balance out the stupid 0's!" It goes both ways.

Hmm, sucks to hear since I thought Andromeda with a Trespasser like DLC would have been a solid 8 or 9 out of 10. Pretty surprising to me too since even Dragon Age 2 received two DLCs.
