Would it be best for EA to sell the Mass Effect franchise?

I am curious what have they done to indicate they can make a non-fixed protagonist sci-fi ranged combat game to you? Everything about the Witcher games feels like the opposite of what Mass Effect is to me.

Well, for one, they make no odds about the idea that buying ships is a way to support development of the game. They also get a bunch by selling subscriptions which get you access to a private forum, some free decorations for your hangar and a magazine every month.

Also, it has been said over and over that all ships will be available once the game goes live, by playing the game, rather than spending money.

The people who have gone in by so much money aren't being scammed. They could just wait and work for the ships, but either they want to play with them now (Star Citizen is playable to backers, though still in alpha) or they simply want to further support the development of the game.

Limited edition sales by the way, does not mean that the ship won't be in the game to buy with in-game money, just that you can no longer buy it with actual money.

Now, criticisms about whether backers' money is being well spent is a whole 'nother discussion, but I don't think that anyone is under any illusions of what they're buying.

MEA does have some of the qualities of The Room.

Matter of when vs if...

Considering the current trajectory of things...might be next generation of consoles to pass first.

I also played and enjoyed Mars War Logs. Technomancer was superior in almost every way. the only thing War Logs did better was World Building. The entire game of War Logs was dedicated to establishing this new IP and Setting, with a giant codex filled with information. Information which is totally absent in Technomancer, so anyone who plays Technomancer and never touched War Logs, has absolutely no idea how in depth and thought out that setting really is. I spent hours in the War Logs codex. 

Casey Hudson is back and, I think, he's working on Anthem? I don't want to put all my hopes onto this man, especially with the ending of ME3 still lingering in my head- but he might help with the direction aspect of Mass Effect. 

What worries me though, in all honesty, is Anthem. We all know what EA likes to do with Multiplayer games. People believe that they tried to get the Sims 4 to be a multiplayer game, which completely goes against everything The Sims stood for outside of the Sims Online which kinda bombed. EA is so hellbent on cooperative play that it is damaging good companies and good games, despite the glaring obvious successes and/or anticipation of single player games like Horizon, Spider-Man, Last of Us, Uncharted, Fallout, etc. 

People are still mad about Andromeda and that can only hurt Anthem unless it knocks it out of the park on the jump and gets people on board.... and the past problems with Elder Scrolls Online, Destiny, etc. have only proven that it may be super difficult for that to actually happen. 

What sucks is I liked Andromeda, for the most part, but playing ME2 has made some glaring problems come to light. All I can say with upmost certainty is that kind of open world is not the mechanic for Mass Effect point blank. They need something like Persona 5 with hubs and places of interest, and focus on making them lively as possible with lots of stuff to do. I strongly believe a more streamlined experience like ME2 or 3 would really be a step in the right direction.

If Bioware gets put under by EA, I'll be super pissed. If that extreme instance were to happen, then I'd hope that Bioware pulls a lazarus like American Mcgee and fights EA to make their games through fan demand (looking at you Alice: Asylum!)

I hope that Mass Effect and Dragon Age continue to live on. There haven't been many games that have made me feel the way Mass Effect makes me feel. Even Andromeda had it's moments. It would be a shame to see the company close. 

I also think of Creative Assembly with Alien: Isolation. Creative Assembly generally did the Total War games, haven't played those so I can't comment on it, and Alien: Isolation was terrifying.
Another example: Hideo Kojima and P.T. (is #Fuckonami still a thing?).

I'm glad someone else feels that way about CDPR. They undoubtedly are a force to be reckoned with and TW3 really is a great game, but there's something about Mass Effect as we know it that I think would clash with their sensibilities. I just don't really see them doing the sort of pulpy space opera thing particularly well.

Personally I still see Bio's main team doing it pretty well, even if it's not its 10-years-ago self.

That's provided your riches don't implode in that bubble, leaving your cyberupees unable to even buy you a nice couch in Habbo.
