This is not a 'woe is me' angst-y flame-out post. (I hope.) More of a wistful, melancholic post.
I think I might have just retired from Mass Effect: Andromeda multiplayer.
I have't played the game since... a week ago?
I haven't spent my 5+ million credits to (almost certainly) unlock the Human Juggernaut, who looks super fun.
I haven't played the Daily Challenges even though I am supposedly grinding Mission Funds to get to 10,000.
I saw a few of my friends online and didn't join them.
I didn't even play the lolbronze Celebratory Mission for the free (!) Apex Elite Pack. And... I don't really care.
Damn!
Don't worry. I will continue Twitchy Questioning and my various obsessive tracking projects, at least until Bioware completely cuts us off. (So, November?)

If the juggernaut didn't rope you back in, nothing else in the pipeline will.
Good luck - I hope the time and energy you put into future games proves more rewarding. Hope to see you for Anthem.

I haven't played in about 2 weeks. Didn't get the Juggy or free pack. I started it up the other day but said fuck it and played Titanfall 2 instead

It happens. Eventually. I played a gold pug after rage quitting from 1.09 or wossname this very week end. I dedicate the match to you. I ragequit the following silver pug though. I wanted to try the Gladiola but got Remnant and just said "Fuckit".

Same here. I haven`t touched it for about 2 weeks. I may go back when the right time comes again.. I think it is good to take a little bit of break for now to keep things fresh in the future.

I retired from multiplayer too, although I did the celibation mission, got the pack, unlocked both the Juggernaut and Silhesh from the pack, but went on completing the singleplayer campaign instead, which I did.
So now I put Andromeda on hiatus until I get to my second playthrough. Time for other stuff. Single player exclusively, since that's what I usually do. ME3MP and MEAMP were the exceptions.
Next game in my Steam-backlog: SOMA. Totally different from Mass Effect, but pretty interesting, if you like this type of games...
Don't get me wrong: I had shitloads of fun in the MEA multiplayer (unlike most of you here), despite 1.09, but for some reason the "no further support" official message was the straw for me (like 1.09 was for a lot of you). I was more pissed-off about that than I'm used to from myself, and I'm still/even more sad/angry when finally having completed the campaign. Sure it was inevitable, but I had some hopes things would turn out differently...
Well this is not the end, and we all keep lurking on these forums anyway,
So carry on!

Last night was my final night with the game, so I actively retired Destiny 2 is out and what I plan on playing now. I did go out with a bang though, using the Juggy... hit rank 20 with him, bought my final premium pack and got a double Ultra Rare. That's the perfect way to go out!

If Andromeda wasn't about the only game that I could get my FiL to play with me, I'd have quit months ago. I managed to slog through the SP campaign, but I already know I'll never play it through again like I did all the previous ME games.
Bioware committed the cardinal sin, it's just not fun. I'd forgive them the long wait, I'd forgive them the graphical glitches and the fact that it just doesn't look very good. But it's just not fun, and that can't be forgiven.
Except for MP with my FiL, I've gone back to trying to finish DA:I. I didn't realize how good it is until I played ME:A. I'll probably make it through this time...as long as I don't look at any Witcher 3 videos and want to start my second play through of that first.

Thats how it happened with me. One day I finally got a batarian to XX (I never played a character that was missing skill points) and colored his armor and whatnot and said to myself "nah, I'll play him tomorrow". Then tomorrow came and while I was moving the mouse to open Origin I decided that I just didn't feel like it. So, I played something else and have been playing other things since. It's not even a "fuck this this game" thing. It's a "it's too much of a chore" thing.

You're missing out on the dumb 3-in-a-row Go For The Eyes Platinum APEX Missions. It was Nimbus Remnant GFTE, then Nimbus Remnant GFTE, then Icebreaker Kett GFTE. My on-host Black Widow Siphon hungers for Saboteur brains. What is shield-gate? Who needs cloak? I agree with the feeling of sadness after the "no more support news", I didn't play for a few days. But I came back and it's still the same fun game, just you have to know that some of those dumb bugs are never going away. This will still be my main game for the next few months, as it's great to play with friends, and having found a die-hard group I couldn't be happier about this game considering it's state. Bring on the new characters, N7 Day here we come.

Yeah I think it's happened to me. I took some time off mass effect to play everspace and got hooked. The two times I loaded mass effect I shit it down because I wanted to play everspace. Now destiny 2 is around the corner and pre-loaded, I can't see myself coming back.
It's been cool y'all!

I have to admit that this grind for cards became more like a never ending very mundane task such a long time ago, its kinda bled the fun right out of it, and left it with just this 'need to get mp credits for another reserves pack' thing.
I've already become sick of the grind, and a few times now i've just stopped mid session and shutdown to go watch my 'Banshee box set' instead.
Eventually if i ever do complete my card set, i'll tire and likely stop playing, but i fear that this may happen before i max things out.. its become overly repetitive and we only live once.

I did whatever the challenges took until about 10 days ago. And it was just getting to feel like work. Struggled to finish the Gold map challenge.
Later, I did play the "Celebration Challenge" on both XBOX and PC, just for the APEX pack. Forced myself really. And was relieved when I joined on W5 to make it shorter. Not enjoying it. So ...
100+ hrs and I'm done.

Yup, that's how it happens for me too. I don't *dramatically* quit, I just play the game less and less until I actually forget to play at all. I will still be tuning in for the Warp character, though. I hope it doesn't feel as a massive disappointment!

I too played my last game around a week ago. I have just over 200 hrs into this game and with the road-map of continuous improvement all but abandoned I really don't see the point.
I put the Elite Dangerous disc in the PS4 and it hasn't come out. It has a steep learning curve and there is so much to do in it. It looks like a real challenge.
I'll revisit when I need a good dose of pew pew, dog in ass or want to see a fiend teleport several meters.
The app is great way to get those missing pieces of equipment and otherwise keep my mind occupied when nature calls.
Take care all
