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.
Beware, correlation doesn't mean casuality.

That date was most likely a placeholder.
Anyway, nice to know that the book is still on bioware plans.

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). BioWare Mythic and BioWare Victory spring to mind... Interesting, if anyone wants to read more, I found this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioWare#Structure

Interesting that they decide to do this after the merger news. Major speculation alert, but could Austin (like The Descent) be helping with MEA dlc? I mean, we know that Edmonton is working on MEA stuff as well, but what about Austin?

I find that unlikely. This is just EA doing a bit of self promotion. There are a few other articles doin this on EA site: www.ea.com/en-gb/news

happy first birthday bsn ! the original forum closure and resulting kerfuffle was a pita, but I made some really good friends as a result of the shakeup sad to see Ian go hoping for an official statement/nda lift or whatever on the matter of dlc/future stuff soon (even if its just a "no, none"), I just want this limbo of back and forth and circular repeating arguments Purgatory to end lmao

Kallo all my Ryder's so far sided with Kallo because they felt he was right. Changing things on the fly was just too dangerous considering the condition Heleus is in with the Scourge.

Mass Effect @masseffectWhen it came to maintenance on the Tempest, things got heated between Kallo and Gil. I believe I sided with Kallo more times than with Gil

I sided with Gil. In life you adapt or you die. Life is change and sentimentality has no place in it, to win you should move on, adapt, improve and break your limits. The Tempest should improve and Gil is competent to be trusted with the Tempest. Kallo is a good pilot but he is too attached to his ship current system because he put feelings on a machine and the people that built it. This is not wise. Technology should always move like the river that inevitably continue its journey to the sea.

There is even one sidequest on Elaaden where the Tempest can't rescue Ryder and company after the Nomad breaks because Gill decided to make some system upgrade without warning anyone.

Well, what should he do while Ryder is spending days/weeks on every random planet fixing stuff? Nothing? Seems like the perfect time for maintenance and/or upgrades to me.
I'm still not sure where people get the idea Gil is doing all his changes in the middle of spaceflight. The only time were hear about "what he's done now" is when we talk to Kallo, which is normally after we've gone back to the ship after being parked on a planet for some time.

I'm always torn, because I can see both sides, but I have to go with Kallo in the end purely because he knows the Tempest so well, was there from the begining, and Gil can be excessively beligerant when they clash. Plus, as others have said, fiddling with the Tempest as Gil does while we're off in deep space AND without telling the rest of the crew what he's up to only needs one mistake to be made...

Both himself and Kallo stated that Gill does this (updates on the fly) during the game. There is a reason why he should schedule his maitenance time, so then Ryder wouldn't go to the far reaches of Elaaden when there is no way to mount a rescue in case something goes wrong. Gill is pretty loose when it comes to some aspects of his work as ship engineer.

Or broken down in the middle of Elaaden's desert as someone pointed out. When you're out in the field you need your ship ready for action and able to jump into gear at a moments notice. not being tinkered on. Even Engineer Adams and Tali knew this.
