Quarian DLC confirmed? Nah, that's quite an interesting image, actually. I hadn't heard of that before. More likely Comic Con stuff.

That I know for a fact and is why I will never forgive the abuse he went through started by a certain tag pre-patch 1.08. Still bitter about bi Jaal I see. You don't give a crap about Aaron, you just don't like having to share your fictional space husband with the gays. If a large group of fans (gay or straight) campaign for change and a few bad apples are abusive, do you accept that there will always be out-of-control fans or do you tar everyone with the same brush because it's a change you're personally not happy with? I didn't use the hashtag myself but I was happy to see the move towards equality happen with an m/m squadmate. It was the right move and it's done, so I think it's time you got over it and stop using your faux concern as a cover for your agenda. Really? Showing concern about someone receiving unjustified abuse is "bitter", is it? Or do you think it was justified? If there's one thing that really impressed me about Aaryn, it's the fact he always spoke up and condemned abuse against anyone at Bioware.

Ahem: It was still very popular. And Star Wars continued to be popular after prequels. As well nearly every cynic that hated the prequels so much it killed Star Wars, went to watch Star Wars 7 on or near launch day. Almost as if they were wrong.

David K. Hulegaard @hulegaardbooks I'll also say this about aarynflynn : he fought more battles behind the scenes on behalf of the fans than anyone. I wish him the best! A person in his position must have had a lot of meetings with EA-people over the years. People who probably don't care much about pleasing fans.

Indeed that's kind of why I'm glad that MEA got released earlier as the last thin MEA would have needed was to trample on Battlefront 2's toes but they could have and really should have waited another couple of months really and polished the game more I understand why they didn't but MEA really needed it. I love MEA but they really should have waited till like may or june to come out with it. It is almost like a new game with the changes they have made to it lol. yeah that's what I meant as there would have been far fewer problems

If this is true, and if DLC gets announced soon and people give credit to Casey Hudson for "reviving" the franchise when it would have most likely been in development under Flynn... well, I've never loved the ME fandom much but man. That's all about timing. If a DLC in released, say, this month or the next it was clearly in development for a long time. But if we only see one some 4 months from now then it would clearly be a result of Hudson's influence. -(_MEA_)-
Hm... perhaps. Head Office shutting down Mtl studio for a "failed" launch .... How can one believe that the Powers That Be will use precious time, money and resources on on a game they placed on hiatus? This game is on life support... free trial four months after launch plus what was it? = 50% off the list price?

4 major patches, and a multitude of mp updates? If that's a hiatus I can't wait to see what happens when they actually work on the game... And you'd better go around telling all those devs whose games were on sale on steam a couple of weeks back that their games have failed massively too...

He and a huge team of people. He himself has done a fair share of good and bad things for the franchise. Sure in the same way George Lucas "created" Star Wars. But when your usually the first credit of something, people credit you for bringing it to the world. Lets not forget Casey Hudson was on the developmental team on MEA (before it got a proper title) during the whole "what BioWare is working on" trailer. It was only shortly there after (if I remember) that he left BioWare. So, technically I imagine some of his DNA is in Andromeda some where. Personally Hudson is batting somewhere between .500-.600 average. Though, I have concerns moving forward that no matter how many great, amazing games he helps create--there will always be talks of the ME3 endings moving forward. Speaking of credits if there is dlc for MEA, will Aaron Flynn still get credit for it? depends on when it's announced I guess if we get DLCD soon as in the next month or 2 I'd say yes but if it's 4-5 months away then maybe not.

Just a quick glance, it looks like the going price across the major retailers is $39.99 ($49.99 the Deluxe) with Origin players who download the free trial and purchase through Origin get it for $29.99/$39.99 respectively. Four months after a troubled launch this is not a bad idea. It appears the majority of the patch work is done and, right now, they are making one last major push towards the casual gamer who may have been reluctant to try the game based on the internet bile.

Physical copies of MEA are still being sold for full price in my country as well (I live in central Europe and price is about 40 euro, depends mostly on individual stores).

Since Aaryn Flynn no longer under EA/BW i assume we can ask him about MEA DLC?, that is of course if he doesn't consider rejoining EA/BW in the future. I hope Aaryn Flynn will join Beamdog.

Here in the US, these are about $20 off the original retail price ($59.99/$69.99 for deluxe), so it looks like BioWare is doing a focused and marketed "soft re-launch".

Doubtful, he's probably still under a strict NDA. Plus, it does not look good from Flynn's perspective to future employers to just drop news on dlc because he was fired, let go, or heavily encouraged to leave.

As I understood it, he will leave on last day of this month, July 31st. And I seriously doubt he will be willing to talk about anything specific about MEA. NDA and all that. I could be wrong, though.

Technically, any DLC is an expansion, just not the size of the old school expansions... which Andromeda would really suit, it felt like a game that could be added to for years to come.

Technically, any DLC is an expansion, just not the size of the old school expansions... which Andromeda would really suit, it felt like a game that could be added to for years to come. I think people (except for developers) keep making this mistake. Anything added is an expansion. A 'pack' of these is an 'expansion pack' (aka feature/content list to sell as add-on). But players just shorthand to 'expansion' for 'expansion packs' now and don't know the difference and complain about bite-sized downloadable expansions/content for sometimes bad reasons. Its not that the shorthand is wrong, but it can lead to misconceptions. Bioware left expansion packs since Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening, but each game since, through downloadable format, has been only growing in the size of their expansions (aka 'DLC') to the point of near 'expansion pack' size, just without the consumer (and well, packaging and physical selling and pricing) demands. (ME2, DA2, ME3, DAI) So yes I presume any 'major DLC' for MEA to be rather weighty. For just one example of an 'ark', I expect Quarians, but prepare for also Geth and presence of the other 'minor' species... yet I also consider it possible that we get a whole shebang: Quarians, Geth, Drell, Hanar, Elcor, Volus - in multiple missions, MP integration, and when not more highly addressed in that SP DLC, then possibly addressed in a later 'capstone/epilogue/etc' DLC (Citadel/Trespasser). Of course, all of this is done with the design consideration that any or all DLC could be cancelled. In that case, anything 'missing' can happen in any sequel. But the point is, I'd expect MEA DLC to be somewhere between the size of ME3 and DAI DLCs, only considering that shooter content is 'smaller' in its playtime (120 hours MEA completionist vs over 150 DAI) and RP content and leans more to what can be cinematically shown and used in a multiplayer.
