Well this is really depressing. And since EA/Bioware has now butchered the team up to do other things, this is like finding an old love note from someone who died.

Unfortunately I don't think EA had much of a choice when it came to BioWare Montreal. The taint of the public reaction to the game would have killed anything in the future they would have done, so they did the merciful thing and put the studio out of its misery quickly instead of letting the infection possibly spread to another game.

Stupid EA should have at least let Montreal make a DLC and then judged the reaction to that to see if the studio learned anything before they deciding what to do with the studio. I hate corporate mentality sometimes. Say what you want about the Montreal studio working on the game in the first place but it is a damn shame they won't get a chance to show they can learn from their mistakes.

The whole folder is a straight of the rack PR piece. There's nothing to feel nostalgic over, it's just what every company at any time says on their product without even breaking a creative sweat.

I hate corporate mentality sometimes. Say what you want about the Montreal studio working on the game in the first place but it is a damn shame they won't get a chance to show they can learn from their mistakes. Since according to the internet EA only cares about making money at any costs, this would mean to me that EA doesn't feel they could make money off a DLC for Andromeda. So you want EA to possibly lose money so they could show to the internet that they learned from their mistakes? My guess is they ran through an equation and felt that Andromeda DLC just wasn't a good investment for the company. I don't even think making a DLC would really prove anything about the problems with Andromeda if you go by the rumors that have surfaced over the last nine months or so, a lot of the problems were at management level which in my eyes requires a project to be at the same scope as Andromeda to know if they fixed the problems at that level.

It may seem sad, but it was the right decision. Hopefully, they will learn with their mistakes next game. This game was too much rotten to be fixed with DLCs. Closing Montreal studio was also the right decision: They absolutely had no clue of what they were doing. Let real professionals work on the next Mass Effect game!

EA/Bioware Montreal was mismanaged after they decided to expand to making a full game. That's what really kills studios EA buys out; business mismanagement and poor project management.

LOL yeah, that was passed off to a copywriter probably making, like, no money. Like the lowest tier copy writer they have.

EA/Bioware Montreal was mismanaged after they decided to expand to making a full game. That's what really kills studios EA buys out; business mismanagement and poor project management. This. BioWare Montreal was closed because MEA was, as a project, a colossal failure by even the most lenient standards. Mismanagement caused up to two thirds of the funded development time being wasted on game concepts that ended up being scrapped. Public reaction has likely very little to do with that. Even complete disasters like Aliens: Colonial Marines got story DLC.
