I love Andromeda, so if this is the end all I can say is a big fuck you to EA. Sorry guys for swearing, just woke up to this and I'm royally pissed at the moment. Now my only hope lies on DA folks, before they turn BioWare for just another FPS company. There are too little games made that I really love right now so what it will be in the future I wonder. Sorry again, end of rant and back to the shadows.
You are not the only one who feel this way, trust me.

I'm personally going to vote with my wallet. I won't buy any more EA games. There weren't many I want anyway, so that's how I'm responding.
I'm a weak person, so I'm still going to buy next Dragon Age, but other than that I on same boat with you. Just canceled my EA access so it's a start. I know they don't care but I feel good

Yeah, other than Dragon Age (which they are taking their sweet time with, considering the time frame from when the last one came out to when we can expect the next), EA offers nothing I am interested in. I guess I'll start looking harder at some of the indie games coming out, because there isn't a single game getting released the rest of this year that I want to play.

I think the least the fandom deserved was to be told, to have to find out like this and still not have an official statement confirming it... it just sucks.

If you like "old-school Bioware", I'd strongly suggest Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity or Tyranny.

Oh, I love POE, and am greatly looking forward to POE2 next year. Haven't tried Tyranny yet, mainly because I generally don't enjoy playing evil (but I may eventually give it a try).
Was really looking forward to a MEA dlc to get me through the next few months though.

As lead designer of the game, Ian being gone from BioWare just like that pretty much seals it for me.
The few remaining MP characters that are already created will drop one by one and then that'll be it. And what's infuriating is I've already noticed multiple gaming news sites (that ripped Andromeda to shreds) now posting articles about how the game wasn't so bad and that it deserved better than to be abandoned and people should give it a chance.
They're partly to blame for this and now they're waxing lyrical about how Andromeda is actually decent. Because of course.

They do it because they see the way the wind has blown in regards to ME:A. Pretty much its how tabloid media works across the board. They either build someone or something up to be incredible, then tear it apart, then work on the aftermath story because it generates sales. In this case, they've laid into ME:A a ton, and any articles claiming it was decent are there to rise it back up, before they bring it back down again.

Yeah I don't usually buy many of EA's offerings outside of Boiware's RPG's but this year I can see myself getting Battlefront for the SP story and Fifa 18 for The Journey part 2 but that'll be about it for me most likely. TBH the way things have gone and the fact it looks like MEA won't be getting anything more I can see myself spending most of my time playing F1 2017 which is out in 3 to 4 weeks rather than any of EA's games

Gaming media is shit.
Indeed that's why I generally judge a game for myself rather than let somebody else judge it for me. Because only I know the kinds of games I like and whilst it's not the perfect game or even my favourite ME MEA is still a decent game to me and I will continue to play and enjoy it even if support has been stopped. I just hope that DA4 dosen't fall into the same trap because if it does I suspect my relationship with Bioware will likely be finished.

DAI inspired more positivity than negativity about the series with me, and I was getting prepared to get DA4 at launch, or even open to pre-ordering (just not at that place yet).
This MEA stuff (and frankly, a bit of how they treat SWTOR) has me back at previous square: its the gift that my partner knows to get me when he's confused about proper gifts. Maybe even as a discount/collection pricing. EA still gets its money, sure, but it may not get me enthused about smaller transactions after.
I'm almost certain I'll play the next Dragon Age game at some point though!

Sorry Ian,
Mr. Vanguard vanguard looks to be another Super Ultra Rare card. Difficult to enjoy when you need 100ks to get him from a random card pick, never mind the additional Ks to moving him up to rank X+.
Thanks for the heads up, though.

Will be interesting to see who's left to run the stream, Fernando perhaps?

Not going to lie, my enthusiasm for the game is low now after the most recent news.
