Either Fernando is keeping things very neutral-positive vague in order to keep player confidence enough to play and spend in MP. The doom and gloom is correct and they're just keeping things in an appearance of business as usual until MP shutdown within a couple months or whatever.
Or he and others are actually rather confident about future content over the future months and there really isn't such dire concerns internally. The doom and gloom is wrong and even possibly laughable.
Just reading the Twitter tone and I could be totally off.

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. I kinda miss the days of the speed reviews of DAI . Sure, you didn't get much beyond teasing and puns but the dev interaction and general good mood was enough most of the times to weather any frustrations and impatience. This complete silence, on the other hand, is kinda depressing.

Interesting minor tidbit from the stream - Patch 1.10 was referenced as a hotfix, probably explaining why it was MP-only and so small.

Fernando was answering JRandall0308's question on the stream and was upbeat without answering what he can't answer. This (extremely short) answer from today's stream, I'm taking as a good sign that folk are developing something even if it's more MP. (I was replying to someone who was saying the silence proves everything's gone to shit)

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. Maybe "Ask a Game Dev" is making certain assumptions? Or the comments from EA are spinning a somewhat rosier picture than reality? Making assumptions most likely. When the game doesn't sell well EA out right said so, like it was the case with Titanfall 2.

It would have to be the former, since the latter is illegal. 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. -(_MEA_)-
In the red? Not necessarily. More likely is that MEA failed to reached their revenue projections. These are calculated to be part of the EA's Quarterly revenue projections which investors look at. So, EA can still mention that the game contributed to the overall revenue stream.

The fact that EA were above their projections, and mentioned Andromeda as a "significant contributor", leads me to believe that Andromeda outdid it's expectations.
