True, Andromeda isn't Anthem. But then, Andromeda is still a product with the Bioware name on it, and they are not supporting one of their most successful franchises with content that they very heavily teased, and it was the first game for a decade not to have DLC for it. Anthem is built on the idea that they'll be expanding it for years to come, which means that the way they've handled post-launch additional content for their other games is important, and as Andromeda is the last game released before Anthem it has an impact. Both on fans and on other consumers. I'm actually surprised they didn't make just one dlc to show they will support their games post-launch, so that people don't get a negative view of how Anthem will be. Dragon Age team has also teased Exalted March DLC for DA2 which didn't materialize. Needless to say, we already know that things like this happen - decisions get made and plans are changed. That, sadly, is not that uncommon and not just something that rarely touches successful franchises, Bioware's or not. The difference being that DA2 had DLC before the Exalted March announcement, and didn't the announcement make it clear that they were working on the next game?

Vasamard @classypredator Can you go further into detail regarding the development? We just want some answers...millions love this franchise and we want to know :/ Fernando Melo DiscoBabalooknow that everyone who was ever a part of this franchise loves it, and gave everything they could for it Interesting way of saying, "no". It wouldn't surprise me if it's under NDA.

Justin @im_versatyle DiscoBabaloo can game breaking glitches like the fiend crash on xbox be fixed without a patch? because 1.10 was the last patch. Fernando Melo DiscoBabaloowe'll have to see what's possible via server side only updates, not sure offhand

We are talking about DLC that was teased and not about next games. At this point we don't know the future of MEA, but my assumption is that even if EA has all the plans in the world to continue the series, it will be a few years before we hear about it. And no, while we know for sure they're working on DA content, DA4 is still being discussed as a hypothetical... you know, just in case it turned out it didn't materialize.

I can't be arsed to discuss it further, it won't lead anywhere so what's the point.

This whole thing is just sad. I have lots to say, but most of it not nice, so I'll keep it to myself. But I will not be buying the comics/books. I love Mass Effect to play. Not read about. They can keep the comics/books, I'll keep my cash.

TBH, the thing that bothers me the most is just the being strung along like a girlfriend they were too cowardly to actually break up with. Then after 2 months of awkward estrangement, getting a shitty "Soooo...about us--" text message in the middle of the night.
Seriously, BiowEAare, if you're listening... you need to work on that shit. Worst. PR. Ever.

My thoughts on the news are too lengthy and melodramatic to bother typing, but I'd definitely echo the sentiment that Andromeda's PR has been pretty shoddy from start to finish.
We know NDAs exist and for very good reasons, but between the game's very late marketing to the complete silence only for it to end in a blog post after months of speculation, they definitely need to reconsider their fan engagement strategies. The whole wall of silence thing only works well if you're planning on tearing it down to reveal something spectacular when it's ready.
If you're going to drop news using that method, make it good news.

The use of that emoticon just makes it seem like they're being sneaky, which will give some fans false hope. They're being really bad about this. Someone should call him out on it, politely, to let him know how it'll be misinterpreted.

I grown to accept there won't be DLC for this game long ago but reading that blog, it... made me really sad. Didn't think I would feel this way after reading that announcement.
