Nope. Neither would be good for the NASA job listing: "Planetary protection officers are hired to make sure humans don't contaminate planets, moons, and other objects in space. They're also supposed to help prevent any alien microbes that might exist from spreading to Earth. " Both are more than likely loaded with alien STIs.

Like, they know people are desperate for DLC and/or clarification as to what's going on, BioWare devs are some of the nicest people around, would they really even tease like that if the answer was just a big fat no? I dunno, we've probably already put way more thought into it than Mike did his response, but still...

Ditto on still being hopeful. I didn't assume Link2Twenty's addition was part of Mike's tweet - the teasing nature of 'Let me think about it' in itself just seems far too playful to me.
He could have given the typical 'can't talk about the future' response. Hell, he didn't even need to respond in the first place.
I'm sure we're looking like crazy people and being mocked for not being able to let go, but no matter how you cut it today has been very strange indeed...

Yeah I'm still hopeful but I have to admit after the news about Montreal and all that my hopes have definitely taken a big hit so they're definitely dwindling now. But no matter what happens I'll continue to support the game regardless as I have really enjoyed playing it and intend to again.

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.
Well, if it was below expectations then it would still be a net negative contributor in terms of beating projections. My current thoughts are that they are on the low end of their expectations.

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. -(_MEA_)-
Oh, yes. Over performing expectations leads to Montreal studio shutdown and the GM leaving after 17 years. I guess under performing is better then.

They would've had the shut down on the cards from before the release date, it costs too much in administration to shut down a company and merge it with another at the drop of a hat. EA aren't as rich as they are for no reason, they know how to deal with such business arrangements properly and likely had it on the cards for some time.

Well, the merging of BW Montreal and Motive will have planned long ago, likely before the game released, and given the reports about the relationship between Montreal and Edmonton, could well have been in response to that rather than anything to do with the game. As for Aaryn leaving, who's to say that he was lying when he said he wanted to do something different after 17 years? Besides, if I'd had to deal with the shit he's put up with, I'd have walked out long before now. I wish the guy the best of luck for the future. And you'll have to enlighten me to your logic where being a "significant contributor" to overperforming expectations, in a quarter with no major releases for EA, leads you to the conclusion that Andromeda must have underperformed.

Perhaps Montreal was never really a Bioware studio, and more of an EA studio with ties to Bioware. Like EA have tried in the past to create/rename studios with the Bioware brand. And it never worked out.
This would explain the problems they had with Edmonton, which Austin never did (as far as I know).
