For the stream wouldn't it have to be Fernando and Conal? I know Conal's a general BioWare employee rather than strictly Mass Effect, but he's dropped in before (or been behind the camera), and with Billy gone it surely has to be if they still want two people?
I'd love for Karin Weekes (and her swear counter) to drop in again, but I believe she and Patrick are still on vacation :/
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon This guy is proooobably my favorite kit. So much fun, a real "vanguard's vanguard." I hope you all enjoy him as much as I do! #MEAMP
Joe Marchand @thejoeman2 Charge, Annihilation, Flak Cannon?
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon I believe the list of powers will be shown in the stream.

Not going to lie, my enthusiasm for the game is low now after the most recent news.
yeah gott oadmit I'm feeling a bit disappointed as well. I still like the game and the fight against the Kett so I can see myself continuing playing for that but I am disappointed that it looks like that's it for MEA and that we're not going to likely get any DLC
The best part about this job are the potential interview questions they may ask as well as the fact that "frequent travel maybe required" NASA, what do you know? 😉

Very interesting and likely accurate perspective on what's going on behind the scenes.
My big fear right now is that when Mass Effect returns - and it will, some day - it'll be typical BioWare overcompensation to pander to those who negatively compared MEA to the original trilogy and we'll get a new game that plays it completely safe rather than taking risks and trying new things.
An Andromeda 2 that learns from MEA's shortcomings would just be so good...
I'm confused. The dev in this says that MEA was in the red and didn't sell enough, and yet official EA statements say that MEA sold well enough that they were happy with it and had a big part in their profits.
Call Me Ishmael @call_ishmael DiscoBabaloo are you allowed to let us know how long the MP streams will continue for? We love 'em and hope they continue for a good while!
Fernando Melo DiscoBabaloo We can't really talk about future stuff in general - however, we're still here and we'll have another stream in a few mins
#SaveTheQuarians @kreflkmmer DiscoBabaloo Hey Fernando! I know you can't say much, but is there any info about new single player content for Andromeda? We're worried
Fernando Melo DiscoBabaloo sorry, when we can talk about it we will

This isn't a Bioware dev, so they seem to be making assumptions.

Unfortunately that doesn't really tell us anything. It can be there are a bunch of people working on SP and MP content, to a group just working on Mp content, or even just a few people making the last things like patches for it.

Maybe "Ask a Game Dev" is making certain assumptions? Or the comments from EA are spinning a somewhat rosier picture than reality?

It would have to be the former, since the latter is illegal.

It's an interesting answer regardless. There "A+" studio still working MEA content while working on Anthem as well. DA4 is still a long, long way away form any serious development. You still have the the majority of the assets, might as well use them.

Oh I agree it is an interesting answer. It's just like always it is cryptic.

Well, it isn't. They can spin the truth to give a rosy impression as long as nothing they say is outright false. Things like MEA being a "significant contributer" could be technically true while still not earning as much as they had hoped.
Still, if MEA was really in the red then I doubt it would have been able to contribute to year over year improvement much.

I miss the days when they were more open with stuff. At least then them being cryptic was fun as well.
It's fun to a point, because it allows for speculation, but at some point it's just-a yes or no would do. That is the most concrete answer that we've been able to get out of them though (since launch and all the drama surrounding dlc), so it's progress.
Fernando Melo DiscoBabaloo MP updated with this new kit [Batarian Vanguard - Hrungr], weapon and mission - come say hi in stream in a few mins and see it in action
Mass Effect @masseffect Head out on a daring salvage heist with APEX, but don't let the enemy get too close. Jump in for a chance to fight as the Batarian Vanguard!

Exactly. Define "happy" for example. They just can't outright lie about the numbers.
